Ethics GPA Rounding Question - Cant remember answer...

CFA Level I Ethics
#1

So I saw this question somewhere recently and for the life of me I can’t remember where so just thought someone here might be able to help me remember the correct answer.

The question went something like:

A CFA candidate has a 3.49 GPA which they round up to a 3.5 GPA on their resume. Is this a violation of the professional standard covering misrepresentation or responsibilities as a CFAI member or candidate or not a violation at all?

Thanks

Never have seen this nor do I know the answer nor would I worry about it. For the record I doubt it’s a violation

#3

Violation

#4

I’d go with violation. Somewhere in the ball-park of misrepresentation, or integrity.

#5

Their actual GPA was 3.495784329364947…(I guess it has to be repeating or terminating) Is the number of significant digits really an ethical issue? I’d say that a candidate could report that as 3.496 without an ethical issue. Is there somehow only an ethical issue in rounding the second decimal point up? No, it’s not a violation and it’s not even an ethical issue.

#6

Exactly.
