“Franciscan pace has a comprehensive conflict of interest policy that requires each officer, trustee, board committee member and employee to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually. Completed disclosure forms are reviewed and maintained by the chief compliance officer. If any trustee, board committee member or senior manager has a potential conflict, the executive committee of the board determines whether action needs to be taken and communicates any such action to the individual. A potential conflict of any other employee is reviewed by the ceo or the designee. The executive committee, ceo or designee, as applicable, determines if a conflict of interest exists or creates the appearance of impropriety. If such a determination is made, the individual will be excused from participating in the business decision. During the year, any change to the information in the disclosure statement must be disclosed promptly to the chief compliance officer, who takes appropriate action. The process also requires affirmation from each individual that she/he (a) has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy; (b) has read and understands the policy; (c) has agreed to comply with the policy; and (d) understands that franciscan pace is a charitable organization and that, in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. In addition to the above, franciscan pace provides mechanisms for confidential reporting of compliance issues. These mechanisms include an anonymous hotline and website where individuals may raise issues, seek clarification, and report possible conflicts of interest or other concerns. These reports, including reports of possible conflicts of interest, are reviewed and investigated by the corporate compliance department and appropriate action is taken.”
