B)   a violation of Standard III(B) concerning fair dealing.

C)   a violation of Standard I(D) concerning misconduct.

Correct answer is C)

Since the programs are the property of the organization, the analyst can only use them for the organization. It does not matter whether the analyst is an employee or not. Personal use of the programs without permission from the charitable organization is dishonest and prohibited.

Q6. Which of the following does NOT violate Standard I(D), Misconduct? Roland Lawson, a financial analyst:

A)   committed perjury in connection with a lawsuit against his firm.

B)   is arrested for participating in a nonviolent protest.

C)   drinks excessively during business meetings with clients and returns to work under the influence of alcohol.

Correct answer is B)

Any professional conduct that involves dishonesty, fraud, or deceit is a violation of Standard I(D), Misconduct. One must refrain from activities that reflect poorly on integrity, reputation, trustworthiness, or professional conduct. The focus of the Standard is on professional, not personal, conduct.
