What is this for?

A conflict of interest policy is a set of guidelines and procedures that an organisation establishes to ensure that its employees, officers, directors, and other stakeholders act in the best interests of the organisation and avoid any conflicts between their personal interests and those of the organisation.

The policy outlines the types of conflicts of interest that may arise, such as financial interests, family relationships, or other personal connections, and provides specific steps for employees to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. It may also include guidelines for addressing conflicts of interest, such as recusal from decision-making or seeking independent advice.

The purpose of a conflict of interest policy is to promote transparency, integrity, and accountability in organisational decision-making and to protect the organisation's reputation and financial well-being. By having a clear policy in place, organisations can prevent or mitigate the negative effects of conflicts of interest on their operations and relationships with stakeholders.
