General ACCAACCA ONLINE PROFESSIONAL ETHICS MODULE

Ppam_jaipaul10y ago
I am currently pursuing the Professional Ethics Module online and am confused with the following questions under the Review of Module 6 (The Framework): Which section of the Rule book states that students and affiliates are bound by ACCA’s ethical requirement? (a) 3.4.18 (b) 3.3.8 and 3.3.9 (c) 3.2.1 (d) 3.1.8 and 3.1.9 The Preface of Section 3 of the ACCA Rule Book states: To whom does the Code apply? 11. Reference throughout this Code will be made to “professional accountants”, which is interpreted in the context of the ACCA Code of Ethics and Conduct as members or, where appropriate, students, affiliates or member firms of ACCA. 12. ACCA registered students, affiliates and members are required to observe proper standards of conduct. The Code applies to all ACCA registered students, affiliates and members in relation to all matters connected to their professional lives. This means that in matters connected to their professional lives, they must refrain from taking any action which amounts to a departure from the standards set out in this Code. In both their professional and personal lives, they must also refrain from what is described in ACCA’s bye-law 8 as misconduct. 13. Registered students and affiliates are bound by the ethical requirements of ACCA, as affirmed by their signature on the application forms to be enrolled as registered students. 14. Registered students remain bound by ACCA’s ethical requirements during the period between successful completion of the examinations and their admission to membership (i.e. those having affiliate status). On admission to membership they become subject to the same requirements in their new capacity. In this regard I am confused as to the choices of the answers given in this question, as I do not seem to find any of the sections stated in the answer choices with regard to the question asked. Please advise whether I am missing something.
