Ethics & Compliance Officer Association

“The association has senior fellows members, fellows members, organizational members and individual members. Each level pays a different annual membership fee and has access to events, resources, and tools to enable them more effectively to build and sustain high-quality ethics & compliance programs. Benefits vary by level.”

“Organizational members, fellows, and senior fellows shall have one vote on all matters that may be presented to the members of the association. Each is also provided the opportunity to nominate individuals to the eca board of directors.”

“The return was prepared by an independent accounting firm and then reviewed and approved by the organization's officers. Once that is completed, every member of the board was provided with a copy of the 990 and acknowledged receipt.”

“Eca directors must openly disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest to the eci ethics officer as soon as they arise and before the erc board or its committees make any decisions that involve a potential conflict. The ethics officer shall inform the chair of the nominating and governance committee of any conflicts that have been disclosed and work with the chair and the interested person on a proposed resolution. The ethics officer and chair of the nominating and governance committee shall put forward to the full committee any matter that may result in the disqualification, resignation, or removal of a director; any matter that involves non-routine policy interpretations; or any matter with a proposed outcome that would constitute an amendment or waiver to this policy. If the matter is presented to the nominating and governance committee ("n&g committee") for resolution, the interested person will be given the opportunity to discuss the matter with the committee. Following that discussion, the interested person shall leave the meeting to allow the n&c committee to deliberate. The n&g committee members shall decide by a majority vote if a conflict of interest exists and what mitigation actions, if any, are required to be taken. The minutes of a meeting in which a potential conflict of interest is disclosed and discussed shall reflect, if true, that a disclosure was made and that the interested person abstained from voting. If the eca nominating and governance committee determines that an eca director has failed to disclose an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
