单选题

Tamlorn Mager, CFA, is an analyst at Pyallup Portfolio Management. CFA Institute recently notified Mager that his CFA Institute membership was suspended for a year because he violated the CFA Code of Ethics. A hearing panel also came to the same conclusion. Mager subsequently notified CFA Institute he does not accept the sanction, or the hearing panel's conclusion. Which of the following actions by Mager is most consistent with the CFA Institute Professional Conduct Program?

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

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】

C is correct because the Designated Officer may impose a summary suspension on a member or candidate, which 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 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.
