Why don CAS Study Kits include all of the syllabus readings?
The CAS Study Kits include study notes that were written under the direction of the CAS Syllabus Committee and materials copyrighted by the CAS. To include other materials the CAS must obtain copyright permission. Generally, permission can be obtained for articles from periodicals. Sometimes permission will be granted for a short selection from a book. however, publishers are in the business of selling books. A request to reprint a significant portion of a book is generally denied.
