| kaplan | Got this wrong, III is unclear and IV is not reasonable as I would be sufficient |
| sharon | III is clear since he should be compliance 'before' things happened. similar example is provided at 3rd example in page 13. IV: a supervisor is not required to personally evaluate each member of his team(if his team is large he can delegate some of the duties) but the ultimate responsibility is still his. |
| george2006 | III is wrong because simple warning offending employee does not go far enough to be in compliance with CFA Institute's standards. |
| StanleyMo | i pick IV was wrong, most likely due to "expected to evaluate personally the conduct of their employees". A manager cannot relaly "personally" evaluate of the employee conduct. |
| alyl21 | IV is wrong because you are not expected to review personally. As quoted, you should be responsible no matter how many CFA members you have under you. |
| rethan | You are not expected to personally review |
| Shalva | Yep, it's easy to imagine situations, where it would be next to impossible to conduct personal review. Your obligation is to establish, implement, periodically review and update procedures. |
| dblueroom | III is clear, simple warning is not sufficient, must monitor the wrongdoer's activities. Also, II should be more appropriate for compliance officer vs. any supervisor. Lastly, a supervisor is definitely responsibly for ALL employees under supervision, but could delegate some supervisory duties to others. |
| gerdvar | I think you should clarify "personally" doesn't refer to private or personal life, but rather to a manager personally (as by just himself) all employees individually |
| MapherRdz | IV was wrong because a member can delegate this job when he/she has too many employees, so it wouldnt be personally. But the member MUST not forget that he/she has this responsability. |
