To address one of Mattockhead's points -
IFA membership does not imply that any member will protect other members or conceal their wrongdoings. Quite the reverse - membership places an obligation on any member to report wrongdoings, while it also implies a personal commitment to ethical practice.
Quite apart from ethical and disciplinary obligations, there is also a 'self-interest' reason to report wrongdoing. Any member that does know of unethical or incompetent practice by another member or by an RAO would want those issues addressed, to avoid devalueing the letters after their own name.
