AMENDS PROJECT

an individual may clean his own file by approaching ethics and offering to make amends. Any amends project must benefit the org and be beyond the routine duties. It may not only benefit the individual. Offers to "get audited at own expense in Review" are acceptable as auditing will benefit everyone. No work one would normally do himself on post is acceptable amends. Doing what one should do anyway is not amends, it is the expected. No org funds may be employed in an amends project. (HCO PL 1 May 65)

that activity undertaken by an individual to make up for injury, damage, loss, etc., that he has caused the group, its members or operations. An amends project may be assigned as a penalty or may be originated to clean one's own ethics file. Any amends project must benefit the org and be beyond routine duties. It may not only benefit the individual. For example, "To get trained at own expense up to _____ and serve the org two years afterwards" is acceptable amends, or "To get another department's files in order in my own time" would be acceptable amends. A donation or fine would not be acceptable amends. Doing what one should do anyway is not amends; it is the expected. No org funds may be employed in an amends project.
