This Code is designed to
promote honest and ethical conduct, including the avoidance, and unethical
handling of conflicts of interest between clients, personal and
professional relationships, and to ensure compliance with applicable laws,
rules and regulations. It is also designed to facilitate and encourage
prompt reporting of Code violations and to promote accountability for
adherence to the Code and those principles underlying the Code.
It is the responsibility of
all AzNHA members to maintain a business environment that fosters
fairness, respect and integrity. It is the Association’s policy that its members are lawful, highly principled and socially responsible in all
business practices. All members are expected to become familiar with this

Association's Credentialing Standards of Service as set forth by the Association.
Operate their businesses with
due diligence and professional care in accordance with professional

their clients and business organizations in a lawful and honest manner,
while maintaining high standards of conduct and character and not engage

confidentiality of information obtained in the course of their duties,
unless disclosure is required by legal authority. Such information shall
