Susan Nielsen, CFA, is an equity research analyst on a fact-finding property tour with 6 other analysts to learn about Just Kittens, Inc. Just Kittens sells tungsten ball-bearings and has 16 warehouses, and 20 manufacturing, research, and wholesale sales outlets scattered over 8 countries – mostly emerging markets. Because of the remote location of some of the facilities, commercial travel is effectively unavailable. Just Kittens charters a jet and various busses to take the research analysts to the properties. If Nielsen accepts these accommodations, she is most likely: A. in violation of Standard I(B) "Independence and Objectivity." B. not in violation of Standard I(B) "Independence and Objectivity" because best practices dictate that better access to company executives is likely to lead to more accurate and timely information. C. not in violation of Standard I(B) "Independence and Objectivity" because commercial travel is effectively unavailable. |
