CFA LEVEL 1 ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL
PART 1
. i 've worked with the curriculum for a long time and i'm hoping that i can help
you get past this material and ultimately get this level one exam behind you. The
ethics material is difficult so many people look at this material especially first
time test takers and say look this is ethical this is material that describes ethical
behavior i am a good person okay i do n't beat my kids or rob banks okay so
therefore i 'm going to be able to identify ethical versus unethical material and
i'm going to do well on this big chunk that is 15 percent of the exam at level 1. A
good system also is to keep your ethics book on your nightstand and as you go
to bed each night spend five or ten minutes reading ethics reviewing the case
studies those types of things. The material for the main part the big part of y our
reading a lot of your study time is devoted to ethics is going to be the same
across all three levels.
At level one we have a little intro thing that we 're going to do that you do n't
see formally at the other two levels and that is the the idea of a professional
conduct program or how do we discipline members of cfai or cfa charterholders
if some potential breach has been brought to light. We'll have 20 or 30 minutes
at the end to introduce idea of global investment performance standards you 'll
get a much more thorough review of those at level three. The cfa institute board
of governors has responsibility for this they 're the ones that are going to
conduct a professional conduct review. There is of course going to be a
designated officer that means that cfai designates an officer that's responsible
for this. The designated officer will decide whether or not this merits a review
board and uh if there is then they we will go in and they 'll conduct. If something
goes awry in the testing room the cfai proctor or cfa exam proctor will write up a
little report that 'll be submitted that of course goes to the designated officer
and that 's going to lead to a committee and the word on the street is if there 's
a report that comes in from the exam proctor well. There 's just almost no way
around that if you pay if you had a passing score on the exam those scores are
going to be rescinded.
The code of ethics is basically a six plank platform about what constitutes ethical
behavior we'll go through that and then we 'll get into the nitty gritty which is
the standards of professional conduct now this is done under the 10th edition
but the one that came out in 2010. This is the most up-to-date material is what i
'm trying to tell you now you're in your fourth volume of the ethics material. The
code of ethics is divided into six different parts. The first part essentially says
that we're supposed to act in an ethical manner. Part two says that the in the
integrity of the investment profession and client 's interest comes above
personal interest. Part three reasonable care and independent professional
judgment are two of the three things that the standards of professional conduct
are built around. Part five says promote the integrity and uphold the rules
