hard · CFA Level I ethics

Ironvale Mining enters a joint venture with a foreign entity. An analyst covering Ironvale uses the foreign entity's own localized financial reports to estimate the venture's value, without realizing the local reports use a 'cash-basis' accounting system instead of the IFRS 'accrual-basis' used by Ironvale. The analyst's valuation is likely to be:

  1. Compliant with Standard V(A) as long as she discloses that the joint venture's numbers were provided by the partner.
  2. Compliant with Standard V(A) because she used the official reports provided by the joint venture partner.
  3. In violation of Standard V(A) because she failed to adjust for material differences in accounting standards.
