Name : IAF PL 1:2009 Code of Conduct for IAF Members

Category : Policy Documents (PL Series)

Description : This Code of Conduct has been prepared to outline the broad principles of legal and ethical business conduct embraced by IAF. It is not a complete list of legal or ethical questions that may be faced in the course of business, and, therefore, this Code must be used together with common sense and sound judgment. This Code signifies voluntary assumption by IAF members of a standard of conduct that may often be above and beyond the requirements of the law. Acceptance of this Code of Conduct is mandatory for IAF members as a condition of membership of IAF. Failure to abide by the Code of Conduct will serve as a basis for disciplinary action, at the discretion of the IAF Board, up to and including suspension or termination of IAF membership.
