The Auditor’s Code 1968, released in October of that year, was issued as a Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter. It was released in celebration of the 100 percent gains attainable by standard tech.

Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter 2 November 1968, AUDITOR’S CODE, added three more clauses to the Code.

The final version of the Code was published by Mr. Hubbard on 19 June 1980.

The Auditor’s Code is a fundamental tool of auditing and of life. As L. Ron Hubbard wrote in Dianetics, “The Auditor’s Code outlines . . . the survival conduct pattern of man. The Clear operates more or less automatically on this code.” Because the basic axioms of Dianetics and Scientology comprise the fundamentals of thought itself, what works in auditing also works in life.
