The Ethics Rule is divided into which sections?
Correct Answer
A) Conduct, management, confidentiality
Why this is correct: The Ethics Rule is organized into three main sections: Conduct (impartiality, honesty), Management (fees, advertising, referrals), and Confidentiality (protecting client and assignment information). Why the other choices are wrong: 'Development, reporting, review' is wrong because these are the main sections of the Standards Rules (Standards 1-10), not the Ethics Rule. 'Competency, scope, jurisdiction' is wrong because Competency is a separate rule, and scope/jurisdiction are not sections of the Ethics Rule. 'Ethics, standards, advisory opinions' is wrong because this describes parts of USPAP as a whole, not the internal structure of the Ethics Rule. Exam tip: Use the acronym CMC to remember the Ethics Rule sections: Conduct, Management, Confidentiality.
