The changes in the new code are modest and generally consistent with our existing Code of Ethics; however, some new principles have been introduced.
This webinar will provide registrants with an overview of the new Code of Ethics and will provide examples from past disciplinary cases where similar principles of the Code of Ethics have been breached. The presentation will also inform registrants about the forthcoming Guide to the Code of Ethics that will be available as a resource to help registrants understand their obligations under the new Code.
