IAPCO upholds the standards of its members. The Immediate Past President of IAPCO automatically takes up the post of the Chair of the Committee of Ethics and appoints a Co-Chair from the members of the IAPCO Council.
In the event that the Committee of Ethics is required to act on a case, representatives of the membership will be drawn from each geographical area and co-opted by the Chair to join the Committee of Ethics. The Committee of Ethics focuses on ethical issues and does not handle financial disputes.
