CIPS L4M4 Exam - Topic 3 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 29
Topic #: 3
[All L4M4 Questions]

Procurement professionals should never appoint any suppliers that have a low credit rating. Is this statement TRUE?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 'no- quoting in the supplier's currency increases the risk for the buyer'. This questions comes up in a variety of formats in the exam. Remember; if the price is in your own currency (most examples in the exam are given in ) there is less risk than if the prices are quoted in a foreign currency. This is because exchange rates fluctuate; if the price is in you always know what you're paying, if it's in another currency the price can change daily depending on if the exchange rate compared to has gone up or down.

Yeah, but some companies bounce back from low ratings, right?

I recall that a low credit rating doesn't always mean a supplier is about to go bankrupt, so I think B makes sense.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think saying "never" is too strong. Maybe C is the right choice since there are other factors to consider.

I feel like we practiced a similar question, and I leaned towards B because credit ratings are just one part of the financial picture.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure if a low credit rating is enough on its own to disqualify a supplier. There might be more to consider.

I'm leaning towards D. If a supplier has a low credit rating, that seems like a clear sign that they're at risk of insolvency or going out of business.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is B. A credit rating is just one tool, and there could be other ways to assess a supplier's financial competence.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think a low credit rating could indicate financial issues, but there might be other factors to consider as well.

I'm not sure about this one. The credit rating seems like an important factor, but I'm not convinced it should be the only consideration.

If my credit score was as low as my bank balance, I'd be doomed too. Glad procurement has more sophisticated tools than my wallet!

C is just plain wrong. Credit ratings may not be perfect, but they're a useful tool in the procurement process. B is the sensible choice here.

D is tempting, but a low credit rating doesn't necessarily mean imminent insolvency. There could be other factors at play. B is the way to go.
