What the AAFM Code of Ethics requires
Every AAFM member and charter-holder must act in good faith with clients, disclose all relevant information, abstain from self-dealing and conflicts of interest, and abide by the professional ethics and regulations of their profession or jurisdiction.
The AAFM / GAFM Board of Standards reserves the right to terminate licences, charters and memberships — and to publish the names of serious offenders who breach this code. For clients, that enforcement is what turns a credential into a guarantee of conduct.
Five duties every member upholds

Share all relevant information so clients can decide with open eyes.
Abstain from self-dealing and any conflict of interest.
Abide by professional ethics, state boards and applicable regulation.
Breaches can lead to termination of membership and public disclosure of offenders.
