The NAVA Codes To become a NAVA member you will be expected to comply with both the NAVA Code of Conduct and the Code of Due Diligence, as well as the rules of the Association. All of the conditions contained in the codes serve to promote integrity and consistency and to foster a relationship of trust with the client.
