danlan Not III?
mtcfa III is awkward... but incorrect since it really has nothing to do with referral fees.
0is4eva Disclosure of conflict - Standard VI A.
danlan2 In the first line of notes, it is saying: such disclosure should help the client evaluate possible partiality shown in any recommendations of services as well as evaluate the full cost of services.
wulin III belongs to Priority of Transactions, not Referral Fees.
ericczhang I would guess III is a specific situation covered in VI.C but is not a general "Stated Purpose" of the standard.
gerdvar Isn't the full cost of the service for the employer only?
