  3. are to be included in total firm assets, however, because they are subadvisors, their performance record is not part of the firm's performance record.

Tessmer is a hard-working employee working in the sales department of a large bank. In this capacity, Tessmer is allowed to have an expense account to be used to entertain clients and cover business expenses. Over the past 3 months, Tessmer's expenses have almost doubled, a large part coming from expenses attributed to "business expense." While his manager, Janus Lace, is suspicious about this and believes that Tessmer is using the account for personal expenses, he has no proof of this. All of Tessmer's reimbursement bills appear to be in order. Tessmer has:

  1. violated the AIMR standard on Professional Misrepresentation.
  2. violated the AIMR standard on Reasonable Costs.
  3. not violated any AIMR standard.
  4. violated the AIMR standard on Professional Misconduct.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

There is no evidence that Tessmer is misusing his expense account. The increase may simply be due to an increased professional activity. There is a chance that Tessmer is altering his bills but that needs to be investigated in some depth by Janus Lace, with a detailed examination of the results accruing from increased expenses. If Tessmer is found guilty of falsifying records, he would be in violation of Standard II (B) - Professional Misconduct. Without such evidence, charges of violation cannot be leveled against anyone.
