Privacy Statement
Cox & Company believes that service to the client, and the
protection of their interests is the most vital component of any business,
and the responsible use and protection of our customers' personal information
has always been of primary concern to our firm. Our privacy policy adheres to
the guidelines of the
Certified General Accountants Association Code of Ethics,
and to the federally legislated
Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act, and is designed to provide our clients with the highest possible
degree of privacy protection and confidentiality.
It is the nature of our business that we require sensitive
information from our clients, and any information we collect is solely for the
purpose of preparing personal and corporate income tax returns, processing payroll,
preparing government remittances, facilitating tax and financial planning, designing
business plans and preparing financial statements. Any such information will be
used only for the purposes for which it was collected, and will be provided to
government organizations, financial institutions or to other parties as requested
by the client, or as required by law.
Statement of Ethics
It is the goal of Cox & Company to create an atmosphere in which
all members of this firm shall commit only to the highest standards of conduct
as befits not only this profession, but any relationship between persons, groups
or organizations.
It is our belief that such standards should be self-regulating,
and a statement of the moral integrity of each individual and of the firm as a
whole. We will pledge at all times to conduct ourselves within the boundaries
of law, but will not be limited by the minimum requirements of law. Rather, we
shall strive to be, at all times, the very best we can be.
Respect for Life
We will strive to respect the dignity of each individual,
and will be sensitive to their unique pressures, backgrounds and personal natures.
We will encourage development and personal growth, and will consider the well-being
of each individual as the fundamental value in all decisions. We will take no
action that will in any way harm or demean another individual.
Fairness
We will recognize each person's contribution, and will
be consistent and fair in all of our policies with each individual. We will use
information given to us for the purpose for which it was given, and will maintain
the strictest confidentiality of that information at all times. We will give our
maximum effort to the work that we undertake, and will be conscientious in our
performance.
Honesty
We will obey all federal, provincial and local laws, and
will clearly communicate those laws to involved parties. We will always tell the
truth and behave with honesty and integrity to all individuals and agencies. We
will offer advice only within the boundaries of our expertise, and will not presume
to expertise in any other areas other than those for which we are trained.
Justice
We will not discriminate, but will honour the rights of all individuals.
We will be equitable and just in all dealings with individuals, groups and agencies.
We will commit to the economic, artistic and social development of our community, and
will actively participate in that development. We will not place the benefits of
business ahead of the rights of individuals. We will always recognize our moral
obligations and will strive to play our part in a just society.
Respect for the Environment
We will consider the effects of our actions on the natural
world, and will act in every way possible to diminish those effects. We will not
squander or use resources without careful consideration, and will make every effort
to work towards sustaining our environment and its resources. We will enter into no
contract or policy which will put unsustainable pressure on our environment.
