  1. Only AICP members

  2. Only government officials

  3. Any person, whether or not an AICP member

  4. Only affected clients

The correct answer is: Any person, whether or not an AICP member

The correct answer is that any person, whether or not an AICP member, has the authority to file charges of misconduct against a Certified Planner. This broad access ensures that accountability in the profession is maintained by allowing any individual, regardless of their membership status, to report concerns about ethical conduct or professionalism. This inclusive approach reflects a commitment to transparency and community oversight in the planning profession. It acknowledges that misconduct can affect a wide range of stakeholders, not just clients or members of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). By allowing anyone to lodge a complaint, the system encourages a culture of integrity and vigilance within the field. While other options may suggest a more restricted or exclusive process for reporting misconduct, having an open system enhances the ability to identify and address ethical issues, fostering trust in the planning profession among the general public and all affected parties.
