Test yourself: pick an answer
Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: A) All risks involved and whether protections exist against retaliation
Explanation
The IMA statement says members should not ignore unethical issues but should actively seek resolution, and that in determining which steps to follow they should consider all risks involved and whether protections exist against retaliation. Materiality, press coverage and the supervisor's agreement are not the tests set out in the statement; an immaterial ethical breach still needs to be resolved.
