| Khadria | Why "Software Suppliers" are not firms? |
| nike | they are not THE Firms defined in the GIPS. |
| studyprep | Software suppliers are firms, by virtue. But here we are talking about Financial firms that provide Financial instruments (e.g. mutual funds and so on) for the investors and who wants to claim compliance of the GIPS. |
| AUAU | Here 'firm' refers investment firm not suppliers firm that make no investment decision but only assist in presenting the results. |
| johntan1979 | Note the word "assist", not control. |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
