Professional and AI-source qualification
| Source and qualified reading | Receiving contribution | Scope limit and return |
|---|---|---|
| NCDA Code of Ethics, 2024, A.2, A.10 and E.2. | Adapted in DOCA.7’s career-service participation, assessment-competence, information-use and referral boundaries. | The identified professional scope does not establish local law or the adviser’s actual competence. Determine the applicable service and local requirements before relying on those claims. A changed code or use reopens the affected condition. |
| ICMCI competence framework v4.0, approved October 2021, identified C.1/C.2 engagement and E.3.5 impartiality clauses. | Bounded clause reliance for client involvement and material conflict treatment in DOCA.7. | The official ICD 2026 page lists an update presentation. Its existence does not make this older framework the complete current standard or establish that the full update was inspected. A complete current certification claim remains outside this reliance. |
| ICMCI Code of Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, v1.0, May 2026, sections 1.2, 2.2, 3.1–3.4, 5 and 7. | Adopted within professional scope in DOCA.7: responsibility, human content review, protected information, competence and material-use disclosure. | Routine tool availability is not warrant. Actual adoption, contract and applicable requirements determine the service conditions. The code does not evaluate an AI development subject. |
| NIST AI RMF Playbook, MAP 1.1 and MAP 4.1: receiving context, assumptions, third-party components and support risks. | Adapted in DOCA.5 and DOCA.8 for configuration-specific joint premises and changed-use effects. | These Map contributions do not provide the client’s evaluation, causal result or permission. The source describes RMF revision in progress; this is not reliance on a claimed completed replacement edition. Reopen the affected configuration or source claim. |
For a concrete currentness episode, suppose an adviser needs to know whether “ICMCI compliant” establishes all required engagement conditions. The identified v4.0 clauses support the bounded involvement/conflict contribution, and the May 2026 AI Code supplies a separate scoped AI-use contribution. Neither closes the broader complete-current-standard claim. The visible 2026 update cue returns that precise claim to the professional source owner; the adviser can retain the identified qualified contributions while withholding the broader assertion. Local legal and professional applicability still needs its own result. A newer label alone supplies none of these conclusions.
