so i told my manager i passed level III and he sent out a email saying i am now a cfa (which is wrong on many levels). now i am getting many responses from those congratulating me on my charter. i don’t even have my work experience accepted yet (which shouldn’t be a problem). someone better not report this violation :)
 
You should report your boss to regulatory authorties and dissociate from the situation.

thanks :)
 
My manager did the same just, but he didnt know. It is not a violation. Just a sincere mistake. Relax. It would be a violation if you would market yourself to clients like that
 
i was mostly joking about it being a voilation
 
OK, but if you see a violataion, aren’t you supposed to start a process to investigate?
;-)
 
Sorry to jack the thread…but is it a violation if I order new business card with CFA behind my name, however, I will only use them once I receive confirmation letter from CFAI??
Thanks.

I would say no. Until you actually give the card to someone, you’re not really misrepresenting yourself.

Thanks
 
my boss did the same thing after I had only just passed level I
Kind of embarrassing, I dont think he really knows what it is - which is comforting
 
Hahahaha, my mom did that after I passed level 1. I had to put her in her place.
But yeah, your situation sounds like a Level 1 ethics question.
 
Same thing happened to me. My manager also mentioned in his mail batterinram CFA. The worse part is I am not even sure my work ex is going to be accepted.
 
How you could not realize that Oskigo was being sarcastic? Lucky for comp sci that there is not a common sense portion of the CFA.

It would only be a violation if he makes you shave your head and get a CFA tattoo intertwined with the company name.
 
this thread rocks! Beats all the other how do I pass, 40/60/80 crap. Good for a laugh. Good job Oskigo, CFA!!!
