Howard, an analyst, recently accepted an invitation to visit the facilities of Bioloc Co. Bioloc Co provides Howard with luxury hotel accommodation and private aircraft as a means of transportation. In addition, Bioloc Co offers two tickets to the fist row of the NBA Finals. Howard refused to use Bioloc Co's private jet and paid for his accommodation, but he accepted the final ticket and told his employer that he could sell the company's mutual fund in the final sausage. Has Howard's practice violated GARP's code of conduct?
选项：
A.Yes
B.No, because although he accepted the gift, it was used for the benefit of his employer.C.
No, because his behavior of accepting gifts has been disclosed to his employer.
D.No, because the gifts he received were not very valuable, and he refused to accept accommodation in luxury hotels and use private jets.
解释：
Correct answer: A
GARP members are not allowed to provide, request or accept any valuable gifts or benefits, because they will impress themselves or others on their independence and objectivity in doing research. Howard has appropriately rejected Bioloc Co's offer of luxury hotel accommodation and private jet, but he has accepted the first row of tickets for the NBA Finals. Such tickets are very difficult to obtain and valuable. Although Howard has disclosed his acceptance of the gift to his employer and tried to use the opportunity to sell his company's fund to the upper class, the gift itself may affect Howard's objective independence.
e accepted the final ticket and told his employer that he could sell the company's mutual fund in the final sausage.这句话怎么理解呢？谢谢！
