The IAS Board Code of Ethics and Employee Code of Conduct guide compliance with legal requirements and ethical responsibilities. The Codes also set a standard for all employees dealing with IAS’s obligations to other external stakeholders. A securities trading policy sets out the timeframe whereby Directors and senior executives are unable to deal in IAS securities which protects the interests of legitimate stakeholders.

IAS’s Employee Code of Conduct formally addresses the privacy of information given to IAS, conflict escalation, and Trade Practices Act compliance training for relevant staff. The occupational health and safety policy formally addresses responsibilities of IAS employees in relation to O H & S matters.

IAS acknowledges that, beyond its accountability as a public corporation to its shareholders, it also carries the expectations of a wider set of stakeholder groups. IAS endeavours to fulfil these marketplace expectations through, for example, the development, implementation and ongoing review of the NT Code of Practice for Responsible Gambling.
