答案和详解如下： Q10. The following scenarios describe two members of CFA Institute who have supervisory responsibility. - The president of Hawthorne Investments, a newly founded money management firm with five investment professionals, asked Rebecca Long, CFA, to be the company's compliance officer and to develop the company's compliance procedures. Long has an in-depth knowledge of the Code and Standards, but she was too busy to develop a compliance manual herself. Therefore, she copied, with written permission, the compliance manual of a large money management firm. This manual was comprehensive and covered many areas not part of Hawthorne's operations. Long gave the manual to Hawthorne's president, but did not distribute the contents of the program to other appropriate personnel.
- A co-worker at Barksdale Capital mentions to Stephen Luck, CFA, that George Trout, a candidate in the CFA Program, may have violated the CFA Institute standard involving priority of transactions. As Trout's supervisor, Luck decided to investigate this allegation but did not begin the investigation until a month after the alleged incident. Luck continued to maintain the same amount of supervision on Trout during the month before he began his investigation of Trout.
According to the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct, which of the following statements about whether Long and Luck followed appropriate compliance procedures involving their responsibilities as supervisors is TRUE? A) Both Luck and Long violated the procedures for compliance. B) Luck violated the procedures for compliance, but Long did not. C) Neither Luck nor Long violated the procedures for compliance. Correct answer is A) Long violated the procedures for compliance involving her supervisory responsibility by not tailoring the compliance manual to Hawthorne's operations and by not distributing the contents of the program to appropriate personnel. Luck also violated the procedures for compliance by not responding promptly to the allegation that Trout violated the CFA Institute standard involving priority of transactions and by not increasing supervision on Trout pending the outcome of the investigation. Q11. For years, John Berger, a CFA charterholder and CEO of a company, relied upon a set of reasonable procedures for preventing violations of the Standards of Practice in the firm. The company has recently arranged to have members of CFA Institute as mid-level supervisors throughout the firm. With this arrangement Berger has delegated the supervision of employees with respect to the Code and Standards to the mid-level managers. With this action Berger: A) is still responsible for seeing that procedures are in place to prevent violations of the Code and Standards. B) is relieved of his obligation to supervise the employees under the mid-level supervisors. C) has violated Standard IV(C), Responsibilities of Supervisors. Correct answer is A) Berger has not violated any of the Standards. He has the right to delegate supervisory duties. This delegation does not relieve him of the responsibility of making sure that procedures are in place to prevent violations of the Code and Standards. |
