    Dear Sir,

    In the answer of Q2, SD2019 (Stent Co), regarding to ethics aspects:
    “the financial director faces an advocacy threat by promoting accounting treatment which compromise objectivity”.

    Could you please help me to explain what means “advocacy threat ” in this case and give me some examples of this threat ?

    Thank you so much!

    Advocacy means aligning yourself with someone’s point of view. It would be like me going to court to defend my brother. It’s a tricky one to explain and you can usually achieve the same mark by using self-interest threat.

    I wouldn’t have used it. Kaplan changed their answer – deleting advocacy – BPP didn’t.

    Kaplan get my vote on this.

    🙂
