Fraud is an intentional act of deceit that may result in legal prosecution. Unethical actions become fraudulent when a law is violated. For example, it is unethical to change the acquisition date of a file for a chromatogram to meet holding times. All employees at all times shall conduct themselves in an honest and ethical manner. Compliance with this policy will be strictly enforced.
Unethical behavior is grounds for immediate termination.
