答案和详解如下: Q18.Which of the following statements about the responsibilities of CFA charterholders is TRUE? CFA charterholders: A) are only obligated to comply with securities laws in the U.S. B) 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. C) must comply with the laws and rules governing their profession or must not engage in any individual behavior that reflects adversely on the entire profession. Correct answer is B) 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. While they should act honorably and follow U.S. securities laws, they are obligated to more than that, as set forth in the Code and Standards. Q19. Which of the following is a CORRECT statement of a member's duty under the Code and Standards? A) A member who trades securities in a country with less strict laws, rules, regulations, or customs may follow those laws if he discloses this information to his client. B) In the absence of specific applicable law or other regulatory requirements, the Code and Standards govern the member's actions. C) A member is required to comply only with applicable local laws, rules, regulations, or customs even though the CFA Institute code and Standards may impose a higher degree of responsibility or a higher duty on the member. Correct answer is B)
Members are always, at a minimum, subject to the Code and Standards. 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. |
