Question about Ethics

Is it assumed that everyone mentioned in a question are supposed to obey CFA standards? I mean if someone does something unethical but is not a CFA charterholder nor candidate then it’s not really a violation isn’t it? However a lot of questions (especially third-party books/mocks) seem to have the assumption.

Third-party questions are notoriously sloppy.

They’ll tell you who’s a covered person. (Note: you forgot one category: members of CFA Institute.)

Aren’t CFA Charterholder, member of CFA Institute?

You can be a member of CFA Institute without being a charterholder.

Thanks very much S2000magician
