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 
Hahahahahahaha classic. Your manager rocks.
You should report your boss to regulatory authorties and dissociate from the situation.
You better quit and start looking for other jobs.

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? 
start building some firewalls
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.
Whenever I see a violation I stop drop and roll

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.

this thread rocks! Beats all the other how do I pass, 40/60/80 crap. Good for a laugh. Good job Oskigo, CFA!!!
