SAQA

 Code Of Ethics


Purpose

A distinguishing mark of a profession is acceptance by its members of responsibility to the interests of those it serves. The Sacramento Area Quality Association (SAQA) has adopted the following Code of Ethics from the Quality Assurance Institute (QAI).

Responsibility

This code of ethics is applicable to all SAQA members. Acceptance of any membership is a voluntary action. By acceptance, members assume an obligation of self-discipline above and beyond the requirements of laws and regulations.

The standards of conduct set forth in this code of ethics provide basic principles in the practice of information services quality assurance. Members should realize that their individual judgment is required in the application of these principles.

Members shall use their membership in SAQA with discretion and in a dignified manner, fully aware of what the designation denotes. The membership shall also be used in a manner consistent with all statutory requirements.

Members who are judged by the Executive Board to be in violation of the standards of conduct of the code of ethics may be subject to forfeiture of their membership in accordance with the SAQA By-Laws.

Sacramento Area Quality Association Members shall:

  1. Exercise honesty, objectivity, and diligence in the performance of their duties and responsibilities.
  2. Exhibit loyalty in all matters pertaining to the affairs of their organization or to whomever they may be rendering a service. However, they shall not knowingly be party to any illegal or improper activity.
  3. Not engage in acts or activities which are discreditable to the profession of information services quality assurance or their organization.
  4. Refrain from entering any activity that may be in conflict with the interest of their organization or would prejudice their ability to carry out objectively their duties and responsibilities.
  5. Not accept anything of value from an employee, client, customer, supplier, or business associate of their organization that would impair or be presumed to impair their professional judgment and integrity.
  6. Undertake only those services that they can reasonably expect to complete with professional competence.
  7. Be prudent in the use of information acquired in the course of their duties. They shall not use confidential information for any personal gain nor in any manner that would be contrary to law or detrimental to the welfare of their organization.
  8. Reveal all material facts known to them that, if not revealed, could either distort reports of operation under review or conceal unlawful practices.
  9. Continually strive for improvement in their proficiency, and in the effectiveness and quality of their service.
  10. In the practice of their profession, shall be ever mindful of their obligation to maintain the high standards of competence, morality, and dignity promulgated by this code of ethics.
  11. Maintain and improve their professional competency through continuing education.
  12. Cooperate in the development and interchange of knowledge for mutual professional benefit.
  13. Maintain high personal standards of moral responsibility, character, and business integrity.
