Professional Standards

Ethics are no longer considered to be a nice add-on. In tough market conditions, CMI membership shows that you are credible and trustworthy.

We’ve drawn on our knowledge of best practice that delivers bottom-line results and set out the ideal  approach to management and consultancy in our:

• Code of Practice for Professional Managers: this is everything that CMI and its members stand for underpinned by honesty and integrity.
• Best Practice guides: these spell out what our Code means in practice and relates it to common management issues such as diversity and fraud.
• Management Manifesto: pledge your commitment to professionalism and support our campaign for a Better Managed Britain.
• National occupational standards for consultancy. We're not just raising the standards in management but in consultancy too.
• The National Register: a searchable database of Business Advisers and Management Consultants with proven competence, knowledge and experience. 
• Take the pain out of finding suitable consultancy practices with our ConsultancyFinder service.
