“Dcp monitors for conflicts of interest that arise from personal relationships or from a financial interest, either directly or indirectly. A direct conflict can arise when an interested person has a personal or financial interest in any matter involving dcp, or has a financial or agency relationship with an entity involved in a transaction or other business with dcp. An indirect conflict can arise when someone related to an interested person by business affiliation, or a family member of the interested person, has dealings with dcp. Activities that may present a conflict of interest include, but are not limited to, an adverse interest, competing interests, use of resources, and inside information. An interested person shall make an appropriate disclosure to the board of directors of all material facts, including the existence of any financial interest, at any time that any actual or potential conflict of interest arises. A self-dealing transaction must receive prior approval by a vote of a majority of the directors in office, without counting the vote of any interested director, and with knowledge of the material facts of the transaction and the involved director's interest. A transaction in which an actual conflict of interest exists but is not a self-dealing transaction must receive prior approval by a majority vote of the disinterested directors or committee members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Each board member shall sign a statement on the conflict of interest disclosure form.”
