[Verse 1] Sarah spots the pension fund investing in her cousin's firm Red flags wave while profits gleam, her stomach starts to churn The Standards whisper "duty first" but family ties run deep When loyalty and ethics clash, which promises to keep? [Chorus] I-D-A-R framework guides the way Identify, Deliberate, Act, Review each day Soft dollars flowing, conflicts glowing When to blow that whistle loud Local laws versus global cause Stand your ground within the crowd [Verse 2] Commission shares pour research gold but strings attach like chains Trading execution suffers while the brokerage house gains Mark discovers client funds buying biased stock reports Ethical boundaries blur when soft arrangements distort [Chorus] I-D-A-R framework guides the way Identify, Deliberate, Act, Review each day Soft dollars flowing, conflicts glowing When to blow that whistle loud Local laws versus global cause Stand your ground within the crowd [Bridge] Document violations clearly Supervisor gets first call If corruption climbs the ladder Regulatory bodies catch the fall Dissociation means departure When compromise corrupts your soul [Verse 3] Thailand's regulations clash with CFA Institute code Michael must choose which master serves the righteous road Higher standard always wins though local customs bend Professional integrity transcends where borders end [Final Chorus] I-D-A-R framework guides the way Identify, Deliberate, Act, Review each day Client interests paramount supreme Objectivity the golden beam When gray areas cloud your sight Let the Standards be your light [Outro] Dilemmas solved with moral tools Ethics trump the market rules
