  2. All of these answers are violations.
  3. Giving an oral report and citing specific quotations, attributable to "leading analysts," without specific reference.
  4. Use of statistical information provided by Standard & Poor's, without acknowledgment.
  5. Use of a small part of an analyst's work who is employed in a completely different (non-competitive) industry, without acknowledgment.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Using excerpts from articles or reports prepared by others, either verbatim, or with only a slight change, without acknowledgment; citing specific quotations, attributable to "leading analysts," without specific reference; using charts or graphs without stating their sources; and copying proprietary computerized spreadsheets or algorithms without seeking the authorization of their creators - all of these practices are violations of Standard II (C).

Christine Crumbwell and Dorothy Drummond are two portfolio managers with Neptune Funds. Cristine is managing the personal trust fund of Paul Roker, who created the fund as an income support for his wife and a legacy for his two sons after his wife's death. Dorothy is in charge of a fund created by Katey Koric. Katey had started this fund as a long-term investment but recently decided to shift the asset mix toward municipal and high-income bonds. Her friend pointed out a great investment opportunity in the newly issued, high-yield-high- income Orange County bonds and Katey instructed Dorothy to sell off a large chunk of the stock holdings in the fund and reinvest in the Orange County bonds. Dorothy spoke to Christine about this and they both agreed that the bonds were an excellent buy. Dorothy carried out Katey's instructions and Christine decided that Paul's portfolio would be better off if she sold some of the small cap stocks and bought the bonds and followed Dorothy's suit.

  1. Dorothy has violated Standard IV (B.1) - Fiduciary Duties by not discussing the issues further with Katey.
    II. Christine has violated Standard IV (B.1) - Fiduciary Duties by tilting the portfolio mix toward high-income instruments.
    III. Katey has violated Standard V (A) - Prohibition Against Use Of Non-Public Information.
  2. I, II and III
  3. I and II only
  4. I only
  5. II only

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Christine, as a manager of a personal trust, has to balance the interests of the income beneficiaries and the remaindermen who need capital appreciation. By tilting the asset mix toward high-income bonds, Christine has violated her fiduciary duties toward Paul Roker's sons by effectively transferring some of their wealth to their mother. On the other hand, Dorothy has violated no such duty since she in charge of an advisory account. The account belongs to Katey alone and she is free to instruct Dorothy to change investments as she pleases.
Finally, the Orange County bonds have already been issued and there is no misuse of any inside information so Katey cannot be accused of insider trading. Standard IV (B.1) - Fiduciary Duties

They should designate a compliance officer and clearly define the officer's authority and responsibility; outline the scope of the procedures; outline permissible conduct and delineate procedures for reporting violations and sanctions.

answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.
