In the event that there is a material development with respect to a conflict of interest, the executive committee of the board is required to disclose such development to the board of directors. The executive committee of the board also monitors proposed or ongoing transactions of the acp (e.g., contracts with vendors and collaborations with third parties) for conflicts of interest and discloses them to the board, whether discovered before or after the transaction has occurred. If any person has reasonable cause to believe the acp's conflict of interest policy has been violated, the policy provides that such person should inform the board of directors, which shall carefully evaluate all complaints. If the board of directors has reasonable cause to believe that a person covered by the policy has violated the policy, it informs such person of the basis for such belief and affords the person a reasonable opportunity to respond. If, after providing the person a reasonable opportunity to respond and making any additional investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board of directors determines that such person violated the policy, it shall take appropriate action.”
