“The organization monitors and enforces its conflict of interest policy. The conflict of interest policy is included in the employee handbook which is given to all new hires who sign that they have reviewed and understand all policies and expectations contained in the handbook. Supervisors and management ensure adherence to the policy. If violations are suspected, staff can use an anonymous reporting phone line (red flag reporting) operated by a third-party service to report suspected violations. The third-party operator submits all reported items to corporate hr for follow-up. There is also a conflict of interest policy for the board which is reviewed and signed annually. Board members are required to self-disclose conflicts. If a board member becomes aware of a potential conflict, it is discussed with the chairperson. If a conflict of interest exists, the board member is expected to recuse him/herself from the vote on any item that would represent a conflict.”
