| dimanyc | standard doesn't mention that you need to discolse to legal counsel or that the disclosure needs to be done in either writing or orally. |
| Mago | Yes it is mentioned in the example 2 in the standard : " The disclosure should include the nature and the value of the benefit and should be made in writing." |
| phuviet281 | They said "should" not "must" :-?? and this is on the example, not include in Guidance, so I feel a little bit confuse here... |
| powers023 | After going through half of these mock exams, I find the ethics questions are good in that they make you go back and re-read each standard, but I feel like they are not representative of what we will see on the CFA. Most of them are terribly vague and seem to have more than 1 right answer even after I've read the explanation. |
