Any discussion of a case by involved parties will ensure confidentiality and data security.

Parties involved in an ethics concern will not disseminate any information regarding a concern (including the existence of a concern) to any member of the public or any ITAA member and committee who is not directly involved in the processing of the concern under consideration.

The procedures allow the ITAA Ethics Committee, at its discretion, and during the process before its resolution, to manage the information and to decide who is to be informed and/or consulted in the process of dealing with concerns.

When the case is completed, it is the ITAA Executive Committee, on the recommendation of the ITAA Ethics Committee, that publishes to ITAA member’s information regarding the final resolution of the ethics concern if deemed appropriate.
