List the date of publication in parentheses and followed by a period. For example:

(2014).

List the title of the code, followed by a period.

ACA Code of Ethics.

List the city and state of publication, followed by a colon.

Alexandria, VA:

List the publisher. Because the publisher is the same as the author, you simply need to list the publisher as "Author."
