Conflict of Interest
About this course
Managing actual and perceived conflicts of interest is an inherent requirement, particularly for public officers and officials. The declaration of actual, potential and/or perceived conflicts of interest is a key mechanism used by many public sector agencies to identify the risks facing employees and their ability to effectively perform their duties. Instances requiring declaration may include familiar and social relationships, professional and personal associations, membership of certain clubs and organisations, and regular attendance at higher-risk locations where there may be a known or potential conflict. Conflicts of interest may give rise to corrupt conduct where they are undeclared, concealed, understated, mismanaged, or abused.
