The SCA Code of Conduct has been prepared in consultation with State Boards and Chapter Executive Committees and establishes the principles that govern the conduct of SCA Members in the context of the strata environment.
Not only is applying common sense, fairness, integrity and good judgement a part of best business practice but it is also an integral part of the SCA Code of Conduct. Whilst this Code does not list every possible ethical issue that may arise, it does set out clear requirements that each Member of the SCA is required to adhere too, both in letter and spirit.
Continuing Training:

They also have access to Accreditation and Strata Management Practice Standard Programs. Members of the SCA are kept up to date on the latest industry changes that will keep your community compliant.
