单选题 Cindy Grant, CFA, a research analyst for a Canadian brokerage firm, has specialized in the Canadian mining industry for the past 10 years. Grant developed an analytical model for equity valuation of companies in mining sector while at Jefferson Investments Company (JLC). Grant leaves JLC and sets up a competing new firm. Grant takes her analytical model and other supporting documentation with her to her new firm because she believes she created this analytical model by herself. Has Grant least likely violated the Standards of Professional Conduct?
A. Yes, relating to record retention.
B. Yes, relating to loyalty to employer.
C. Yes, relating to diligence and reasonable basis.

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 因为在原来公司开发的模型是属于原来公司的,在没有得到原来公司同意的情况下,并不能带到新公司,所以Grant明显违反了记录保存和对于雇主忠诚的责任。
