Q4. Wanda Kirby, CFA, recently joined Allegheny Investments as a senior analyst. Because of her extensive experience in the investments business and knowledge of the Code and Standards, Allegheny's management asked her to assume supervisory responsibility.

B)   agree to accept supervisory responsibility and to develop reasonable procedures to allow her to adequately exercise such responsibility.

C)   decline in writing to accept supervisory responsibility until Allegheny adopts reasonable procedures to allow her to adequately exercise such responsibility.

Correct answer is C)

If Kirby clearly cannot discharge supervisory responsibilities because of an inadequate compliance system, she should decline in writing to accept supervisory responsibility until Allegheny adopts reasonable procedures to allow her to adequately exercise such responsibility.

Q5. For many years, John Berger, CFA, has been a mentor of Bob Chennings, a family friend, who just earned the CFA designation. Berger is the CEO of a firm that just hired Chennings, but the hiring was done at a lower level so Berger and Chennings have no direct contact in the daily operation of the firm. With respect to Standard IV(C), Responsibilities of Supervisors, Berger:

A)   must both develop written procedures concerning Chennings and routinely evaluate his performance.

B)   assumes no extra responsibility with the hiring of Chennings.

C)   must develop a set of written procedures to prevent violations derived from his mentoring Chennings.

Correct answer is B)

As a CEO, Berger is responsible for reasonable procedures being in place for the entire firm. Since Berger is not the supervisor of Chennings, however, Berger assumes no extra responsibility upon his hiring.

Q6. Jess Green, CFA is the research director for Castle Investment, Inc., and has supervisory responsibility over eight analysts, including three CFA charterholders. Castle has a compliance program in place. According to CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct, which of the following is NOT an action that Green should take to adhere to the compliance procedures involving responsibilities of supervisors? Green should:

A)   issue periodic reminders of the procedures to all analysts under his supervision

B)   incorporate a professional conduct evaluation as part of the performance review only for the three CFA charterholders.

C)   disseminate the contents of the compliance program to the eight analysts.

Correct answer is B)

Green should incorporate a professional conduct evaluation as part of his review of all eight analysts under his supervision, not just the three CFA charterholders.
