CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct require Lee to obey the law, and, here, she violated the law by retaining records beyond the 6-year limit allowed by statute.
Lee has not violated Standard V(C) because there is no requirement to retain records for seven years, and CFA Institute’s recommendation to retain records for seven years applies only in the absence of regulatory guidance or firm policy. Here, regulations require destroying the records after 6 years.
So is the answer B or C?

Even if there was a requirement to retain records for seven years, Lee would not have violated standard V(C), correct? Since there is a rule that the letter of the law trumps the Standards?
