Please also see the ASAP-NYCB Code of Ethical Conduct & Disciplinary Procedures – click here for a downloadable copy.  Acceptance of the Code is a mandatory requirement of certification which promotes the profession and protects the public.  Certification, including adherence to the Code, confirms that certificants are ethical professionals engaging in a transparent and accountable practice.  To report an ethical complaint relating to an ASAP-NYCB certificant, please verify that professional’s certification status here before completing and submitting the Code’s “Disciplinary Procedures” forms.  Your complaint will be fully investigated by Board and staff.
