“Annual acknowledgement forms must be signed and submitted to the compliance director, including confirmation of individual's responsibility to report any conflicts or change in circumstances that might give rise to a conflict. If there is a suspected conflict, an officer of the organization responsible for compliance would review each "potential" conflict to establish whether the employee's (or agent's) family relationships (or business relationships) put the employee (or agent) at risk of choosing between significant individual interests and their day-to-day agency/governance responsibilities ("inherent conflicts") or whether there is effective segregation of duties between related employees (no direct management of family members), or whether there is effective segregation of "span of control" (no family member review performance or decides compensation for another family member). Any doubts with respect to the above are reviewed with the executive director, and the compliance committee if "potential" conflicts were to rise to the level of a "real" conflict of interest, it would require a modification or cessation of the business/employement relationship.”
