Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct The Professional Code of Conduct for individual Interim Managers of the IMA Institute seeks to uphold the highest reputation of its members for performance, client service, and personal integrity by defining a high standard of professional practice and a framework for operating, detailing standards, and conduct.

The IMA Institutes marketing and promotional programmes and membership schemes increase understanding and enhance the perception of interim management, helping to open up wider opportunities in both the private and public sectors. The IMA Institute fosters close working links with major management and employer organisations through its relationship with the Interim Management Association and the REC to promote the benefits of IMA Institute members and the use of Interim Management. In addition, the IMA Institute facilitates debate, sponsors research, and contributes analysis of Interim Management to national newspapers, professional and trade publications.

The principal aim of the IMA Institute is the development of interim management as a powerful and leading management resource by the collective action of its members and by promoting their common interests based on the highest standard of professional service. Membership of the IMA Institute assures the marketplace of the high quality of service and professional standards of an Interim practitioner.

The Institute recognises that there is a need to establish and maintain standards of best practice in addition to Government regulatory regimes. The IMA Institute seeks to promote such standards on behalf of the interim management sector.

Membership Success

Nick Duncan Interim Marketing and Business Development Director, 13 years Interim.

I have been a member of the IMA Institute from its inception and so far have had the opportunity to significantly raise my profile amongst the interim management providers. This has enabled me to be put forward for many more assignments than the average number of opportunities that you can reasonably expect as an interim manager operating on your own.



The provision of Interim Management resource is a professional endeavour. A profession is characterised by the objectivity, integrity, and thoroughness of its practitioners. Members will maintain the highest standards of professional work and behaviour, so that their actions reflect favourably on the Institute, its members, their clients, and the profession of Interim Managers. In this endeavour, members will:


  • Establish a clear understanding of the clients organisation and requirements and provide objective professional advice
  • Provide a written statement or contract, setting out the description, scope and character of the services to be provided by the interim manager
  • Regard as totally confidential all information concerning the business affairs of their clients
  • At all times to represent the best interests of their clients
  • Behave with courtesy and respect for the culture, people, and working practices of their clients

Members will conduct all their promotion, public relations and new business activities in a manner that involves no representations, express or implied, that are false, deceptive or otherwise misleading.
Neither the Institute nor any member will engage in any unlawful restraint of trade or unfair method of competition.

Code of Conduct Members shall state their terms of business to clients without ambiguity.
Where applicable, members shall make themselves fully aware of the provisions of any relevant legislation concerning their tenure. Such legislation must be complied with both in spirit and to the letter of the law. Breach of the law shall be deemed to be a breach of this code.

Members shall ensure that they comply fully with UK and European law relating to Tax and National Insurance.


Complaints procedure

ComplaintsAny client, interim manager, or interim management association member may make a complaint about any IMA Institute's member's failure to abide by this code or failure to adhere to normal standards of professional conduct.

Complaints should be made in writing to the Chairman of the Standards and Disciplinary Committee of the Membership scheme (email: david@ima-institute.com). If, with the help of legal advice, the complaint cannot be satisfactorily resolved by the Chairman, it will be referred to the IMA Institute's board of directors to be dealt with under the Complaints and Disciplinary Procedure or referred to arbitration as appropriate.
