At each committee and board meeting, members are expected to comply with the policy. Any board members with a potential conflict of interest are expected to recuse themselves from any relevant issue and the recusal is reflected in the minutes of that meeting.

If the matter involves the chair of the board, he or she should advise the chair of the audit and risk management committee.
