No offense, but if you're teacher isn't covering these...

 

Fairness and honesty in dealings with your clients and the public are some of the biggies.

A fiduciary is a person who holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with one more other parties (person or group of persons). Typically, a fiduciary prudently takes care of money for another person.

I never work in a fiduciary capacity. Let me correct that... I RARELY work as a fiduciary. But when I do I have to read it to the customer and have them sign it.

Fiduciary Duty | Wex Legal Dictionary / Encyclopedia | LII / Legal ...

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fiduciary_duty
 
A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care. The person who has a fiduciary duty is called thefiduciary, and the person to whom he owes the duty, is typically referred to as the principal or the beneficiary. If an individual breaches the fiduciary duties, he or she would need to account for the ill-gotten profit.
