Bronson provides investment advice to the board of trustees of a private university endowment fund. The trustees have provided Bronson with the fund's financial information, including planned expenditures. Bronson receives a phone call on Friday afternoon from Murdock, a prominent alumnus, requesting that Bronson fax him comprehensive financial information about the fund. According to Murdock, he has a potential contributor but needs the information that day to close the deal and cannot contact any of the trustees. Based on AIMR Standards, Bronson should:

  1. send Murdock the information because it is not material nonpublic information.
  2. not send Murdock the information to preserve confidentiality.
  3. send Murdock the information, provided Bronson promptly notifies the trustees.
  4. send Murdock the information because disclosure would benefit the client.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This question deals with Standard IV (B.1), Fiduciary Duties and Standard IV (B.5), Preservation of Confidentiality. Bronson owes a fiduciary duty to the fund trustees. He cannot disclose confidential financial information to anyone without the permission of the fund, regardless of whether the disclosure may benefit the fund. The fund must be notified and permission obtained before the information is publicized. Even if the information were nonmaterial, the member cannot disclose it because it is confidential.

  3. in the period immediately following the period in which the taxable event occurred.
  4. on a yearly basis.

Answer(s): A

Taxes must be recognized in the same period as when the taxable event occurred. This is a requirement for calculation of returns.



Scott works for a regional brokerage firm. He estimates that Walkton Industries will increase its dividend by $1.50 a share during the next year. He realized that this increase is contingent on pending legislation that would, if enacted, give Walkton a substantial tax break. The U.S. representative for Walkton's home district has told Scott that, although he is lobbying hard for the bill and prospects for passage look good, Congress's concern over the federal deficit could cause the tax bill to be voted down. Walkton has not made any statements regarding a change in dividend policy. Scott writes in his research report, "We expect Walkton's stock price to rise by at least $8.00 a share by the end of the year. Because the dividend will increase by $1.50 a share, the stock price gain will be fueled, in large part, by the increase in the dividend. Investors buying the stock at the current time should expect to realize a total return of at least 15 percent on the stock." Which of the following is/are true?

  1. Scott violated the Standards because he used material inside information.
    II. Scott violated the Standards because he failed to separate opinion from fact.
    III. Scott did not violate the Standards.
  2. I and II only.
  3. II only.
  4. I only.
  5. III only.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This question relates to Standard IV (A.2), Research Reports. Scott issued a research report stating that the stock price of Walkton is expected to rise to $8 a share "because the dividend will increase by $1.50 a share." Yet, he made this assertion fully aware the dividend will increase only if Congress enacts certain legislation, which is an uncertain prospect. By stating that the dividend will increase, Scott failed to separate fact from opinion. The information on the passing of legislation is not material inside information because it does not come from or pertain to company operations.

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.

q. 289 - the correct answer should be b not d, since the question asks for the most secure way to provide access to a s3 bucket (a single one), and by principle of the least privilege you should not be giving access to all buckets.
