medium · CFA Level I ethics
An analyst at Westfork Bancorp discovers that a colleague’s report contains plagiarized sections from a public central bank report without attribution. The analyst brings this to the attention of their supervisor, who says, "The data is from a statistical reporting service, so no attribution is needed."
Which of the following is most correct regarding Standard I(C)?
- No violation occurred because the analyst reported the matter to their supervisor as required by the Code.
- Attribution is required because the central bank report contains conceptual analysis, not just raw data.
- The supervisor is correct; information from any government body is considered 'public domain' and needs no citation.
