Ethics and Practices

Our consultants work directly with SME principals and managers and learn confidences, have oportunity to influence and generally advise on management practices.  This activity affects the wellbeing of stakeholders in client firms.  Our clients will want to be assured that all TimelessTime consultants excercise integrity, honesty, diligence and appropriate behaviour at all times.

Our consultants are members of several professional bodies and each has its own codes of conduct to which our consultants are committed.  These are summarised below in the TimelessTime Code of Ethics and Practices.  The original codes from the various institutions from which this code is developed are given at the foot of the page.
