Conflict of Interest Policy
A Conflict of Interest Policy outlines the process for the disclosure of any conflicts of interest that your employees may have. Using this policy helps protect your Company by ensuring that you are aware of any circumstances that may create a conflict of interest, and can address these before they can damage your company or expose you to a breach of the law.
