有個CFA ethic的問題 - 金融分析師

大家怎麼看這個問題,從yahoo finance 摘錄不算是factual info from recognized
resource?
Paul Thomas, CFA, is designing a new layout for research reports his
firm writes and issues on individual stocks. In his design, Thomas includes
a stock chart on the first page of each report. He does not reference
that the charts are copied from the Yahoo! Finance web site. Thomas has:

A) violated AIMR’s Standards of Professional Conduct because he
did not state the source of the charts.

B) not violated AIMR’s Standards of Professional Conduct because
these charts are widely available over the Internet.

C) violated AIMR’s Standards of Professional Conduct because he
did not make sure that the information in these charts is accurate.

D) not violated AIMR’s Standards of Professional Conduct because
the charts are only a part of the reports which are written by the
firm’s analysts.



Your answer: B was incorrect. The correct answer was A) violated AIMR’s
Standards of Professional Conduct because he did not state the source
of the charts.

Standard II(C) Prohibition Against Plagiarism. Members should not copy
or use material prepared by others without acknowledging and identifying
the source of such material. Using charts and graphs without stating
their source is a violation of the Standard.
