Verbal
complaints and anonymous action complaints will not be considered
for investigation with the exception of publicly available
information (i.e. newspaper articles, court records, etc.).

A
certified professional shall promptly alert a colleague informally
to potentially unethical behavior so said colleague could take
correction action.

PCB Code of Ethical Conduct within 90 days of the alleged violation.

within four years from the date the offense occurred.

Once
the complaint has been filed, the PCB Executive Director may, at
his/her discretion, proceed with an investigation even if the
complainant subsequently requests that the complaint be withdrawn.
