Abdul Naib, CFA, was recently asked by his employer to submit an updated document providing the history of his employment and qualifications. The existing document on file was submitted when he was hired five years ago. His employer notices that the updated version shows that Naib obtained his Masters of Business Administration (MBA) two years ago, while the earlier version indicated he had already obtained his MBA. As the position Naib was hired for required a minimum qualification of an MBA, Naib is asked to explain the discrepancy. He justifies his actions by stating, "I knew you wouldn't hire me if I didn't have an MBA degree but I already had my CFA designation. Knowing you required an MBA, I went back to school on a part-time basis after I was hired to obtain it. I graduated at the top of my class, but this shouldn't come as any surprise, as you have seen evidence I passed all of my CFA exams on the first attempt." Did Naib most likely violate the Standards?
