2.) With respect to the fees he receives as a football referee, has Peña violated any CFA
Institute Standards of Professional Conduct?
A.
No
B.
Yes, he failed to receive written consent from his employer
C.
Yes, he failed to receive written consent from all parties involved
Answer = A
Standard IV(B)—Additional Compensation Arrangements only requires "written
consent" from both parties in situations in which consideration might reasonably be
expected to create a conflict of interest with the employer's interest. The fees in
question are small and unrelated to Peña's professional activities. The employer
confirmed in the interview process that the fees created no conflict of interest with or
for the employer.
