1. The Equality Act in the UK was introduced in which year?
A. 2019
B. 2001
C. 2010
D. 2011
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Act was introduced in 2010. Although this is a UK-centric question, it is valid for
several rea-sons. Firstly, the UK was one of the first countries to introduce such a
wide-ranging Act; secondly the Act is so wide-ranging that all UK managers need to
be familiar with it. People who live and work outside the UK may wish to familiarise
themselves with the content of the Act to have an idea of what the impact of such
legislation might be like.
Interestingly, in the UK, the Act has seldom been used 'in anger'.
2. Sources of finance for a public sector entity are primarily (select one):
A. Sales revenues
B. Taxpayers
C. Long-term bank loans
D. Delaying payments to suppliers
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is 'taxpayers'. On occasion, part of a public sector organisation
may make sales which will generate revenue. In some mega-projects (eg power
generation), public sector bodies will sometimes into long-term arrangements with
private sector financiers, but this is not the mainstream. Delaying payments to
suppliers is a tactic used by some organisations, but they are more likely to be private
sector, and such a practice is regarded as unethical by many, including CIPS.
