| isida | shouldn't the answer be all choices??? |
| LogicMan | No since A and B are not related. |
| sharon | It's about INDEPENDENCE. |
| 0is4eva | Tricky question. Every line in the question must be read carefully. Key word: "...influencing your independence...". Standard II B: "...use reasonable care... maintain independence... ...not offer, solicit, accept any gift, benefit... could be expected to compromise... independence and objectivity." The answers listed in A and B are not related to the "independence concept" and are therefore not eligible. |
| lilbut | so where does a and b fall under? |
| CFAMarco | A under duties to clients and B under profesionalism. I think. |
| copus | tricky question...I also thought that all three were correct but upon closer reading, I realized that I had flubbed it big time! |
| bantoo | Read the code Ib.A is not related to question and option b is Id. so C is the correct answer |
| sshetty2 | key words here i think is Best Course of action. If you have the option to pay for it yourself that would likely be the most ethical way of completing the valuation |
| DrewEB86 | Doesn't the standard stipulate you shouldn't be accepting gifts? This says LIMIT gifts? That's what threw me... |
Your review questions and global ranking system were so helpful.
