QUESTIONS 1 THROUGH 18 RELATE TO ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS.

5. Joan Tasha, CFA, a supervisor at Olympia Advisors (OA), wrote and implemented compliance

policies at her firm. A long time OA employee, Derek Longtree, recently changed the asset

allocation of a client, which is inconsistent with her financial needs and objectives and with OA’s

policies. Until now Longtree has never violated OA’s policies. Tasha discusses the issue with

Longtree but takes no further action. Do Tasha's actions concerning Longtree most likely violate

any CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct?

A. No.

B. Yes, because she failed to detect Longtree’s actions.

C. Yes, because she did not take steps to ensure that the violation will not be repeated.
