invic

A CFA charterholder gathers the closing prices of a security from a widely read publication. The charterholder uses the data as part of a report she is preparing and fails to report the data source in the report. This is:

A) not a violation of Standard I(C) if the data can be gathered from several public sources.

B) a violation of Standard I(C).

C) not a violation of Standard I(C) if the data cannot be gathered from several public sources.

Since the security prices represent factual information that can be verified from several sources, there is no violation. It could have been a violation had the information been exclusively published by the source.
