“Process for monitoring compliance with conflict of interest policy fes maintains a comprehensive conflicts of interest policy for directors and officers. The policy exists to identify potential instances in which an individual could obtain a direct or indirect personal gain or advantage to the detriment of the organization, or where an individual's conduct could have an adverse or potentially adverse effect on the interests of the organization. The policy contains an affirmative duty to disclose, as well as a specific process for disclosures of potential conflicts of interest, a protocol in which independent, outside legal counsel is used to evaluate whether a conflict exists, procedures for addressing actual conflicts of interest, and consequences for violations of the policy. The policy requires all directors and officers to complete and submit an annual conflicts disclosure form to outside legal counsel. In addition, the conflict of interest policy is included in the employee handbook which all employees must acknowledge and agree to abide by.”
