“A member will behave at all times with integrity. A member will not knowingly lay claim to a level of competence not possessed, and will at all times exercise competence at least to the level claimed.”
Integrity implies wholeness, soundness, completeness: anything the member does should be done competently. Where necessary, additional guidance or expertise should be obtained from properly qualified advisers. While claims to competence should not be made lightly, a member will not shelter behind this principle to avoid being helpful and co-operative; any guidance or advice that can be provided from experience should be readily given. A member should act in a manner based on trust and good faith towards clients or employers and towards others with whom he or she is associated. A member should express an opinion on a subject only when it is founded on adequate knowledge and honest conviction, and will properly qualify any opinion expressed outside the level of professional competence attained. A member should not deliberately make false or exaggerated statements as to the state of affairs existing or expected regarding any aspect of the construction or use of computers.
A member should comply with the CSSA Code of Practice and any other codes that are applicable and ensure that clients are aware of the significance of his or her work.
A member has an obligation to be aware of relevant developments in information technology.
A member should not engage in any illegal activities, including copyright or patent violations.
