The Disciplinary Review Committee

 

The Disciplinary Review Committee (DRC) is a volunteer committee of CFA Institute Charterholder members who are responsible for enforcing the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct and the rules and regulations of the CFA® Program and CIPM® Program. 

 

Selection of DRC Members

DRC members serve for a term of one year, renewable annually for a maximum of six years. Terms may be staggered to allow for turnover and continuity.

DRC application process: The application period for the FY2026 CFA Institute Disciplinary Review Committee (DRC) will open on 3 February 2025 and will close on 3 March 2025.

 

Volunteer Qualifications: Members must be CFA Institute Members who have held the charter for at least three (3) years, with a minimum of five (5) years of experience in the industry.

Volunteer commitment: Service on the DRC requires significant time commitment (about 100-150 hours), some of which will be during the work week. Members may be asked to serve on in-person hearing panels that require international travel.
