36 Jacque Clemens, CFA, is a securities analyst. Her manager, Samuel Kerouac, currently has a "buy" recommendation on Atlas Semiconductors. Kerouac asks Clemens to take over coverage of Atlas, instructing Clemens that under no circumstances should she change the existing buy recommendation. Clemens believes her manager's instructions have compromised her ability to cover Atlas objectively.
The action for Clemens that would be most consistent with the Standards is:
A
telling her manager she cannot cover the company under these constraints.
B
escalating her concerns to other supervisors in the firm before performing her own analysis.
C
perform her own independent, unbiased analysis and issue her opinion without considering her manager's recommendation.
