Whichof the following actions by Mager would be most consistent with the CFA Institute Professional Conduct Program?

A、 Providing evidence for his position to an outside arbitration panel
B、 Using his CFA designation upon expiration of the suspension period
C、 Presenting himself to the public as a CFA charterholder

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】

The Designated Officer may impose a summary suspension on a member or candidate that may be rejected or accepted by the member or candidate. If the member or candidate does not accept the proposed sanction, the matter is referred to a hearing panel composed of Disciplinary Review Committee (DRC) members and CFA Institute member volunteers affiliated with the DRC. In this case, the hearing panel also affirmed the suspension decision by the Designated Officer, and therefore, the member loses the right to use his designation for a one-year period. Upon expiration of the suspension period, the analyst would be able to use his CFA designation.
