The AED Code of Ethics states that all AED employees should maintain fairness, ethics, and personal integrity in all matters and avoid any activity which is either illegal or unethical.
As part of AED’s effort to create and maintain a workplace of the highest professional standard, the Academy has a toll-free Ethics & Compliance Hotline, 1-800-318-7153, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Any suspected incident of theft, fraud, or other unacceptable financial behavior should be reported immediately. Such action is vital to protecting AED and the people it serves. Callers will speak to an independent third party, and confidentiality is assured.
