Please note:
Whilst Members shall conform to existing laws, regulations and professional codes as established by the country in which they conduct their practice, the Institute shall have the power only to enforce its own Code. Any member, who, in the opinion of the Disciplinary Committee of the Institute, has acted in contravention of the Institute's Code, may be cautioned, suspended or expelled from membership. Such action shall only occur after a member has been given the opportunity to answer all allegations of misconduct brought by the Disciplinary Committee. The decision of the Disciplinary Committee shall be final and binding.
