Report misconduct

Not every issue requires a formal investigation, but when certain conduct may affect professional trust, membership responsibilities, or organisational reputation, it is usually worth closer review.

Examples include:

Clearly false or misleading statements

Improper use of certification or membership status

Conduct marked by a long-term lack of transparency

Conflicts of interest that were not properly disclosed

Serious breaches of professional standards or ethical principles

The purpose of raising a concern is not to create conflict, but to help maintain a consistent and credible professional environment.

Useful information should, as far as possible, be:

Fact-based

Objective

Free from emotional accusations

Supported by reasonable background and context

Clear about how the issue relates to professional standards

Clear and responsible communication helps relevant concerns be understood and handled more effectively.

Trust in a professional organisation comes from standards not only being written down, but being taken seriously over time.

When members, institutions, and participants remain attentive to professional conduct, the industry is better able to build long-term transparency, accountability, and professional culture.
