Question:

Gabrielle Gabbe, CFA has been accused of professional misconduct by one of her competitors. The allegations concern Gabbe's personal bankruptcy filing 10 years ago when she was a college student and had a large amount of medical bills she could not pay. By not disclosing the bankruptcy filing to her clients, did Gabbe most likely violate any CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct? 
A. No
B. Yes, related to Misconduct 
C. Yes, related to Misrepresentation 

Answer = A 
A personal bankruptcy does not necessarily constitute a violation of Standard I(C)–Misrepresentation or Standard I(D)–Misconduct. If the circumstances of the bankruptcy involved fraudulent or deceitful business conduct, then failing to disclose it may constitute a violation of the Standards of Professional Conduct.

CFA Level I
"Guidance for Standards I–VII"
Standard I(C)–Misrepresentation, Standard I(D)–Misconduct
