Ethics and Compliance


It is important to GIA and central to its mission to uphold the highest standards of integrity.

GIA’s commitment to integrity is unwavering. Upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct has been central to our mission since our founding in 1931.

GIA works each day to earn the highest level of trust from our employees, students and the public.
