Board members are also required to notify the board of directors when any transactions arise that could involve an actual or possible conflict of interest. The disclosure statements and any disclosures made are reviewed by the treasurer or board chair for compliance to the organization's conflict of interest policy. If any disclosures require further investigation, the treasurer or board chair work with the board of directors to investigate and resolve any such disclosures. Officers, key employees and members of management are interviewed annually for conflict of interest disclosures. These responses are reviewed by the treasurer or board chair for compliance to the organization's conflict of interest policy. If any disclosures require further investigation, the treasurer works with the board chair to investigate and resolve any such disclosures. Any transactions which require review under the organization's conflict of interest policy are considered by the board or directors.
