考试临近，头脑越来越不清楚了，最近碰到了两道很相似但答案完全相反的的题目，关于 using data from websites without citing the source 算不算misrepresantation的，请各位大神帮忙解难啊~~~~
1. Jean-Luc Schlumberger, CFA, is an independent research analyst providing equity research on companies listed on exchanges in emerging markets. He often incorporates statistical data he obtained from the web sites of the World Bank and the Central Banks of the various countries into the body of his research reports. While not indicated within the reports, whenever his clients ask where he gets his information he informs them the information the information is in the public domain, so he doesn't keep his own records. When the clients ask for the specific web site addresses he provides the information. Which Standard has Schlumberger most likely violated?
A. misconduct
B. Record Retention
C. misrepresentation
Answer: C
Schlumberger has plagiarized the information he obtained from the websites of the World Bank and the various Central Banks by not quoting the sources within the research reports. This is a violation of Standard I - Professionalism (C) Misrepresentation.
2. Bill Cooper finds a table of historical bond yields on the website of the U.S. Treasury that supports the work he has done in this analysis and indudes the table as part of his report without citing the source.Has cooper violated the code and standard?
A Yes,because he did not cite the source of the table
B Yes,because he did not verify the accuray of the information
C No,because the table is from a recongnized source of finacial or statistical data
Answer: C
According to Standard I(C) Misrepresentation,members and candidates must cite the source of the information they use in their analysis,unless the information is factual data(as opposed to analysis or opinion) from a recongnized finacial or statistical reporting service. The U.S.Treasury is one example of a recongnized source of factual data.
