Appearance of impropriety: Difference between revisions

The '''appearance of impropriety''' is a [[phrase]] referring to a situation which to a layperson without knowledge of the specific circumstances might seem to raise [[ethics]] questions. For instance, although a person might regularly and reliably collect money for her employer in her personal wallet and later give it to her employer, her putting it in her personal wallet may appear improper and give rise to suspicion of [[commingling]]. It is common practice in the business and legal communities to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.{{cn|date=February 2024}}
