It is a requirement of membership that all the members of the FPI run and conduct their business based on the principles of the Code of Ethics, Professional Responsibility and Practice Standards of the FPI and transgressions thereof may be dealt with in a disciplinary hearing. The Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility

The FPI has great pride in the professional conduct and integrity of its members and this document, therefore, sets the benchmark for the values, principles and standards that a member of the FPI has to adhere to in his/her relationship with the public.
