Professional Standards / Standards of Practice
Any Code of Ethics is meaningless unless it can be clearly understood by those who must live by it. To interpret and support the Code, the Professional Standards Committee of the National Association has adopted Standards of Practice which are interpretations of the code. Such Standards of Practice are applications of ethical principles to specific conduct in specific circumstances as related to one or more Articles of the Code of Ethics.
To assist in the proper application of the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, approximately 143 different numbered cases are set forth to help clarify the Code and assist in applying it.
