Public Interest
The CIA and its members take the role of serving the public interest seriously and have placed this duty above everything else. In carrying out its activities and programs, the Institute holds the duty of the profession to the public above the needs of the profession and its members. This is the number one guiding principle of the CIA.
The CIA ensures that the public interest is served through the following:
- Rigorous Rules of Professional Conduct,
- Strong disciplinary process,
- Comprehensive review of the Standards,
- Close consultation with regulators and interested parties in matters such as Standards development, and
- Continuing professional development program includes thorough technical and ethical content.
