All potential or actual conflicts are reviewed and managed by the organization's governing board or a designated committee.

In cases where a conflict is identified, the affected person is required to recuse themselves from all decision-making related to the matter. If a conflict is discovered after a transaction has occurred, the board or committee reviews the situation and determines the appropriate course of action to mitigate or resolve the issue.
