a few ethics hypotheticals

house, includes, available, commercial, hotels

1. You are a mining analyst sent to the middle of Utah on assignment that includes four mines in three days with no commercial flights or hotels available. You accept the company's flight/motel. Must you disclose this or you not obligated to do anything since accomodations so modest?

2. Brokerage house you work with gifts you with tickets to World Cup, limos, hotels, and dinner. Disclose, written consent, or may not accept whatsoever?

3. Analyst 1 and Analyst 2 work for the same firm. I know that if Analyst 1 has left the firm, he need not be referenced because his work is the firm's possession. But must he be referenced in a report by Analyst 1 if he is still employed with the firm?

4. I completed Level 3 Exam but don't have my work experience yet--am I a Level 3 Candidate? (see page 147 top of page).

5. Gifts from clients for past performance must be disclosed but gifts from clients for future performance need written consent. Do the same rules apply for non-clients (i.e. brokers) or are they more strict?

6. Quarterly performance review, annual IPS review, modeled or hypothetical results allowed with disclosure for both Standards and AMC?

7. Difference: Standards allows IPOs with approval but no private placements; AMC allows both with disclosure.
