Certified Risk Professional® (CRP)

Code of Ethics

Click here to download a PDF version of the CRP Code of Ethics.

A Code of Ethics sets forth a discipline of moral duty and conduct in support of the demanding standards of a profession. Certified Risk Professionals® (CRPs) have a professional obligation to the organization they serve, its customers, stockholders, directors and the general public. This obligation can best be met through adherence to a code of ethics. In recognition of this, the Certified Risk Professional Executive Advisory Committee sets forth this Code of Ethics.

Subscription to the Code of Ethics by Certified Risk Professionals is both a public and a professional acknowledgement of their unique obligations, and provides an enduring test of their integrity, judgment and objectivity. Individual professional judgment is essential in the application of this Code. Only those individuals that both meet the certification requirements of the Certified Risk Professional Program and also fully comply with this Code should designate themselves as a "Certified Risk Professional" or a "CRP."

The Code
Certified Risk Professionals shall:

1. Discharge their responsibilities with thoroughness, competency, honesty and objectivity.
2. Examine or review sufficient relevant factual information before presenting a report on any risk management matter.
3. Respect the confidential and proprietary nature of information received in the performance of their duties, refrain from using such information for personal gain and not knowingly permit any other person to use such information for personal gain.
4. Refrain from entering into any activity that is in conflict with the interests of the organization. Avoid activities or the acceptance of anything of value that prejudice their ability to objectively discharge their professional duties and responsibilities.
5. Report organizational and individual misconduct and unlawful practices to the appropriate executive level within the organization.
6. Strive to enhance the knowledge and skills necessary to competently and effectively perform their duties.
7. Maintain high standards of ethical conduct and character in both professional and personal activities.
8. Use the "Certified Risk Professional (CRP)" designation in a prudent, dignified and appropriate manner.
9. Uphold the standards and responsibilities of other professional organizations associated with the certificate holder's specialties and/or of which the Certified Risk Professional is also a member.

Failure to comply with the Certified Risk Professional Code of Ethics can result in investigation and forfeiture of the CRP designation.
