Board of Standards Toughens Self-Reporting Rule

The CSA Board of Standards adopted a resolution on January 3, 2007, that grants it the authority to impose a 1-year suspension of a CSA's designation if the CSA has violated Rule 509 of the CSA Code of Professional Responsibility. Rule 509 requires a CSA to disclose to SCSA "disciplinary, legal, or civil proceedings" within 30 days of being informed that he or she is named in such an action. The resolution, which becomes effective April 1, 2007, can be found as Appendix F to the Board's Policies and Procedures. To read the new Policy and Procedures document, click here.
