Key Points: Conflict of Interest

Duty to disclose Discuss with your supervisor a potential conflict of interest

that you may have. There is NO PENALTY for disclosing a potential conflict of interest – it is simply a precaution to make sure all our activities are conducted openly and fairly.

Disclosing is something we should always do. NOT disclosing is a violation of this policy.

If my brother gets the job it will be good for me! I’ll tellACF that he is the best guy for thejob!!!
