Session 1: Ethical and Professional Standards
Reading 2-VI: Standards of Professional Conduct & Guidance: Conflicts of Interest
LOS A.: Disclosure of Conflicts.
Abner Flome, CFA, is writing a research report on Paulsen Group, an investment advisory firm. Flome’s brother-in-law holds shares of Paulsen stock. Flome has recently interviewed for a position with Paulsen and expects a second interview. According to the Standards, Flome’s most appropriate action is to disclose in the research report:
A)his brother-in-law’s holding of Paulsen stock and that he is being considered for a job at Paulsen.
B)that he is being considered for a job at Paulsen.
C)his brother-in-law’s holding of Paulsen stock.
The possibility of employment with Paulsen creates a potential conflict of interest which Flome must disclose. Standard VI(A) Disclosure of Conflicts does not require disclosure of his brother-in-law’s ownership of Paulsen stock.
