Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Below is a list of answers to frequently asked questions. Please note CAI staff members have no determination on whether allegations substantiate an ethical violation. Allegations are reviewed by volunteer professionals serving on the Designation Ethics Committee. The Committee assesses each complaint to ensure professionals holding CAI designations meet the requirements outlined by the Professional Code of Ethics. A formal complaint must be filed with our office in order for it to be reviewed by the ethics committee. ​

If you have further questions, please send them in an email to government@caionline.org with "Ethics Question" in the subject line.
