Matthew Smith, CFA, was recently promoted to senior portfolio manager. In his new position, Smith is required to supervise three portfolio managers. Smith asks for a copy of his firm’s written supervisory policies and procedures, but is advised that no such policies are required by regulatory standards in the country where Smith’s firm conducts the majority of its business. According to the Standards of Practice Handbook, Smith’s most appropriate course of action would be to:（）
A. require that his firm adopted the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
B. require that the employees he supervises adopt the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
C. decline to accept supervisory responsibility until his firm adopts procedures to allow him to adequately exercise such responsibility.
