“The organization has a conflict of interest policy in place for all employees and board members, who sign a statement on a yearly basis. If a perceived or potential conflict of interest is reported (by the employee, colleague or outside affiliate) to any member of the management team, the organization conducts a confidential investigation to determine the best course of action, which in some cases may include disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. If the board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it informs the member of the basis for such belief and affords the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as warranted in the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the member has, in fact, failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it takes appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
