To All Dec2010 Test takers - I think we need to refer the new edition (10th) rather than any old material. The tenth edition guidance and provision are effective 1 July 2010. The PDF version available for download for free on CFA publication website. http://www.cfapubs.org/toc/ccb/2010/2010/2 -Prabir
It’s highly doubtful that they would test the new SOP in December. It is my understanding that the curriculum is consistent for L1 tests within the same calendar year. If you look at the following page: http://www.cfainstitute.org/mycfa/candidate/Resources/curriculum/sessions/Pages/index.aspx …you will note that there is no distinction in the 2010 L1 study sessions between June and December.
Just refer to the CFA Institute Ethics book for clearing this issue out.
