The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators have produced a sample conflict of interest policy, declaration form and register of interests (PDF, 292KB), which they've given us permission to make available to NCVO members. Please be aware that this guidance is from 2014. An undated version is available to ICSA members on their website.
Each organisation will manage conflicts of interest differently, the most important thing is clarity about expectations. The principles that you will have to work out are:
Who should the policy apply to? |
|
---|---|
What would be a conflict of interest in relation to our organisation? |
|
What is the future likelihood of similar conflicts? |
|
How should an interest be declared? |
|
How should we address the conflict? |
