Protect exam integrity and describe qualifications accurately
Independent IBBC Capital draft content for self-study. Not affiliated with or endorsed by CFA Institute. New lessons await subject-matter review. No CFA designation or official PSM credit is awarded.
Learning goals
- Diagnose the conduct from the facts and relevant professional duties.
- Recommend a documented preventive and corrective response.
Draft · approximately 60 minutes, excluding further revision.
Decision case · fictional facts
A fictional candidate shares remembered confidential exam questions after a sitting. An employer advertises her as a CFA charterholder although she has passed only Level II, and promises that the designation guarantees superior returns. The candidate is not registered for the next exam but describes herself as an active candidate without checking current eligibility.
Duties and competing interests
Program participation requires protecting examination integrity and confidentiality under the applicable candidate agreement and professional duties. Discussing general study experience differs from sharing protected questions, topics revealed in a prohibited way or answer content. Neither a private group nor the end of a sitting automatically makes confidential material public.
Describe earned credentials and program status precisely. Passing a level does not award the charter, and no designation establishes a return guarantee. Current candidacy language depends on actual registration/status and applicable usage guidance. Do not imply endorsement of a course, employer or investment by CFA Institute.
Decision, controls and remaining uncertainty
Stop sharing protected questions and use independently authored practice. Correct the employer’s biography to the truthful achievement, remove the superior-return guarantee and verify permitted status language.
Preserve correction records and explain the distinction between a learning product and the official program. This IBBC Capital material is independent and does not confer the CFA charter or exam registration.
