Standards and Practices
Consultants may only undertake to provide services for which they possess the necessary competence and organization provided that they may enter into association with others or engage outside assistance to acquire such competence and organization.

The principal activity of every Consultant must be to offer consulting and related services in his or her area of expertise to prospective clients. Such activities must not be permanently exclusive to any one client.

Consultants must have a control over their business affairs. They must act with complete fidelity to their Client and with responsibility to society in respect of every task.

Consultants must be remunerated solely by way of fees or other form of compensation paid by the Client. No direct or indirect benefit shall be received from any other party without the Client's written approval.

Consultants may protect by patents, or other legal or contractual arrangements, new techniques or processes that their work enables them to perfect, and to sell these patents or grant licenses and to draw fees upon them.

A member must maintain accounts separate from any parent company, shareholder, owner and any affiliated firm so that all costs whether direct or indirect are brought into account. Such costs must be fully reflected in the fees or other form of payment charged by the Consultant to the Client.
