Discuss CIPS L4M4 Exam Topic 1 Question 3

Which of the following are signs that modern-day slavery might be taking place within the supply chain? Select THREE.

Asuspiciously low labour costs

Bpoor quality products

Cworkers that live on-site

Dsuppliers who speak English as a second language

Esupplier based in a country with a low score on the Corruption Perception Index

Suggested Answer: A, B, C

The correct answers are; suspiciously low labour costs, workers living on site and poor quality products (as this signals that the workforce may be unskilled).

A low score on the CPI is a good thing (high scores are more likely to signify slavery concerns) and just because someone speaks English as a second language doesn't mean you automatically need to be suspicious. That would be prejudice.

Not sure about the language thing, that seems a bit off.

Suppliers from countries with low CPI scores should raise concerns.

Workers living on-site? That sounds a bit extreme, right?

I agree, especially if the quality of products is poor too.

A suspiciously low labour cost is definitely a red flag.

Quentin 1 year ago

I recall a practice question about suppliers in countries with low Corruption Perception Index scores. That might be a sign too, right?

I feel like poor quality products might not directly relate to slavery, but it could be a sign of exploitation.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think workers living on-site could indicate something problematic. It seems familiar from our case studies.

I remember discussing how suspiciously low labor costs can be a red flag for modern-day slavery in supply chains.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The key signs are low labor costs, on-site worker housing, and the supplier's location in a high-corruption country. Those are the three I'm going with.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Some of these options seem more ambiguous than others. I'll need to really analyze each one to decide which three are the best indicators.

Okay, let's see. Suspiciously low labor costs, workers living on-site, and a supplier in a country with a high corruption index - those seem like the most relevant signs to me.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll need to think through each option and try to determine which ones are the clearest indicators of potential slavery issues.

Anglea 1 year ago

This question seems straightforward, I'll just need to carefully consider each option and select the three that are most likely signs of modern-day slavery.

Okay, let me think this through. The WaitForReady property is probably related to waiting for the UI automation activity to be ready to execute. So option C sounds like the most likely answer, since it mentions waiting for the target to become ready. I'll mark that one down.

I'm pretty sure documenting the scene setup is crucial. Option D looks like the most professional approach - take photos, diagram everything before moving anything.

This looks like a tricky one! I'll need to carefully review the formulas for Sharpe and Treynor to make sure I apply them correctly.

I believe E) supplier based in a country with a low score on the Corruption Perception Index is a strong indicator too.

Karl 2 years ago

I agree with you, Clay. C) workers that live on-site could also be a red flag.

Clay 2 years ago

I think A) suspiciously low labour costs could be a sign of slavery in the supply chain.

True, it's important to consider multiple factors when evaluating the presence of modern-day slavery in the supply chain.

Leonie 2 years ago

I'm not sure about poor quality products, it could be a sign but not necessarily linked to slavery.

Cyndy 2 years ago

But what about poor quality products? Could that also indicate modern-day slavery?

Penney 2 years ago

I would also add the supplier being based in a country with a low corruption perception index.
