Code of Ethics

A Professional Marine Auditor must, at all times, conduct his or her audits with the highest of integrity, being faithful to the spirit as well as to the letter of the audit format utilized. It is the responsibility of the Auditor to accurately convey the condition of the vessel/structure audited, as well as the status of all personnel and vessel/structure documentation, so that the party requesting the audit will have full confidence that the auditor has honestly and thoroughly determined that the vessel/structure will, or will not, meet the standards set forth in the audit format. Furthermore, the Professional Marine Auditor must not allow any situation to exist where a conflict of interest may arise which could cause any of the parties to the audit to suspect that an honest, thorough audit cannot or will not be accomplished.
