The key features of the Code are:

  • updated registration criteria, including licensing and insurance provisions
  • clear obligations when investigators accept work, including diligence and disclosure
  • clear obligations when investigators conduct an investigation, including privacy, reputation, personnel, information management, identification, inducements; and
  • a fair and transparent mechanism for handling investigator complaints.
