Code Of Ethics

Members of the Association of Professional Consultants are committed to providing value to our clients and adhere to a stringent CODE OF ETHICS.

There can be no half measure of integrity in our obligations to our clients and peers. We are honest in all transactions: in time, money, and expenditures. We treat all client information with respect and the highest level of confidentiality.

We uphold the finest traditions of consulting with sound business principles to assist our clients in achieving the most successful business performance.

We work to advance our knowledge and abilities and willingly share with other Association members the lessons of our experience.

We support the Association membership in their professional endeavors and encouragement of business reciprocity.

We do not permit ourselves to be compromised by conflicts of interest with our clients.

We refrain from knowingly initiating and engaging in correspondence or discussion with other member’s clients without prior knowledge and agreement of the member.

We refer the Association and/or qualified members to prospective clients that come to our attention.

We undertake consulting assignments only if qualified or after full disclosure to clients of our pertinent qualifications.

We appraise the work of fellow consultants with respect for differences in approach and with honesty in informing clients of both strengths and weaknesses in these approaches when our opinion is solicited.

It is our responsibility to report to Association officers any violations of the CODE OF ETHICS.
