(b) may not - ANSWER>>(b) is correct.

Code of Professional Conduct, Coverage, says that no CPA practicing public accounting may avoid

disciplinary action?

(a) Ethics Rulings.

(b) Interpretations of the Rules.

(c) Rules. - ANSWER>>(c) is the conect answer. Code of Professional

Conduct, Strncture, says that infraction of any of the rules makes a member liable to disciplinary
action.

(a) is wrong since members who depart from the

guidance in ethical rulings in similar circumstances

will be asked to justify such departure. They cannot

however be charged with violating a ruling.

(b) is also wrong since a member cannot be

charged with violating an interpretation. In a disciplina1y

hearing where the member was charged with

violating a rnle, the member would have the burden of justifying any departure from interpretations
ofthat rule.

certificate.

(b) Principles and rules.

(c) Principles, rules and interpretations of the rules. - ANSWER>>(b) is correct. Code of
Professional Conduct,

Structure, says that Principles and Rules must be

approved by the AI CPA members.

( c) is wrong since interpretations are prepared and issued by the Professional Ethics Executive
Committee without obtaining approval by the members.

, (b) published by the AICPA. and the member 's name will be disclosed if the Trial Board votes to
do

so.

(c) published by the AICPA with the member 's

name given. - ANSWER>>(c) is correct. Code of Professional Conduct,

Enforcement says that Trial Board convictions must

be published with the member's name disclosed.

(a) is then wrong since the name must be disclosed.

(b) is also wrong since the Trial Board does not have the option of deciding whether or not the
member's name will be disclosed.

effective:

(a) the first day of the month following the

month it is published in the Journal of Accountancy.

correct answer. Composition, Applicability

and Compliance in the Articles says that compliance with the code, as with all standards in an open
society, depends primarily on member 's understanding of the code and voluntary compliance with it.

in obtaining compliance with the code.

the ultimate or final method of obtaining compliance.
