In anticipation of the tenth anniversary of the development of the professional ethics rules for cadastral engineers (hereinafter referred to as the «Rules») [3], the authors have attempted to assess the updated (4th) edition of this document, which was approved at the end of last year. The analysis was conducted not only from a formal perspective, but also from substantive, ethical, and practical viewpoints. The drafter of the Rules is the Association «National Association of Self‑Regulatory Organizations of Cadastral Engineers», a non‑profit organization whose members include more than 50 % of the country’s self‑regulatory organizations of cadastral engineers [1]. It has been established that the fourth edition of the Rules demonstrates generally positive changes: enhanced client‑centricity, consolidation and clarification of scattered requirements, and the introduction of disciplinary liability for violations of ethical norms. At the same time, systemic shortcomings have been identified: rhetorical statements in the absence of mechanisms for resolving ethical conflicts, vague criteria for «harm to the reputation of a self‑regulatory organization (SRO)», the risk of using ethical norms to suppress criticism, insufficient attention to conflicts of interest between a cadastral engineer and their employer.
