A manager has pointed out that his firm has experienced significant expansion over the past few years. Until recently, its Q2. Legal Department was responsible for the firm's compliance activities. Now, however, the legal and compliance functions have been separated. A compliance officer has been formally designated and a comprehensive compliance program has been put in place.

C) which is consistent with the most senior partner or executive officer in the firm. Correct answer is B) Compliance officers must be able to guide employee behavior and respond to employee misconduct, otherwise there will be no effective compliance procedures in place. Unless the compliance officer can effectuate compliance procedures, the compliance program has no chance of responding to or preventing violations of the Standards. Q3.
