单选题 Amanda Janney, CFA, is employed as a fixed-income portfolio manager for Collins Asset Management Inc. (CAM), a large international capital management firm. Janney signed a non-compete agreement with CAM when she joined CAM. The agreement strictly restricts Janney from contacting CAM's clients for five years after leaving CAM. Janney leaves CAM and immediately sets up another competing firm herself where Janney uses the knowledge and experience she learns at CAM. In her first week at her new firm, Janney uses public internet searching to find some of her former clients and recommends her new firm to them. Janney has most likely violated the Standards of Professional Conduct by:
A. violating his non-compete agreement signed with CAM.
B. using public internet searching to find some of her former clients at her new firm.
C. using the knowledge and experience she learns at CAM.

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 因为签署过同业竞争协议就应该加以遵守,即在离开原来公司后5年内不联系原有雇主的客户,而Janney离开后的第一个星期就利用公开的互联网搜索寻找以前的客户并拉拢这些客户,显然违反了对于雇主忠诚的原则。在新公司中对以前客户是通过公开的互联网搜索找到的,并不违反规定。在新公司使用在原有公司获取的知识和技能都是允许的。
