CFA charterholders must comply with the laws and rules governing their profession and must not engage in any individual behavior that reflects adversely on the entire profession.

Q20.A CFA Institute member conscientiously maintains records of changes in security regulations. The member notices that his colleagues do NOT, and does NOT say anything. Is this a violation of Standard I(A)?

A)  Yes, and the member should disassociate from these colleagues.

B)  Yes, because the member is bound by the Code of Ethics.

C)  No, as long as the colleagues do not violate the new rules.

 Correct answer is B)

The last bullet point of the Code says that a member shall “Maintain and improve their professional competence and strive to maintain and improve the competence of other investment professionals.” Ignoring the neglect of rule changes of others would clearly be incongruent with this component. As long as the colleagues do not violate the laws, the member does not have to disassociate himself from the colleagues.
