Actual or potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed by the interested party to the appropriate governing body or a committee of said chc organization being considered by the governing body or committee or if an interested person becomes aware of a potential conflict before the matter is under consideration by the governing body or the committee, then the interested person may disclose the potential conflict of interest to the organization's appropriate management personnel, chief compliance officer, general counsel or the audit and compliance committee of the governing body (or if none, the chairman of the board). 2. An interested person may make a presentation and answer questions posed at the governing body or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the potential conflict of interest. 3. The chairperson of the organization's governing body or committee shall, if he/she deems appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate the potential conflict of interest and alternatives to the applicable transaction or arrangement or other resolution of a potential conflict of interest. 4. After exercising due diligence, the governing body or committee shall determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. 5. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is reasonable. The governing board or committee shall make its decision as to whether to enter into or continue the transaction or arrangement. 6. Employees and others engaged by the organization must seek guidance and approval from appropriate management personnel prior to pursuing any business or personal activity that might constitute a conflict of interest. 7. The organization's chief compliance officer working with the chief financial officer will be responsible to ensure those conducting auditing and monitoring reviews of internal controls are free from any conflicts of interest or other influences that would impair their ability to objectively carry out their work without bias. 8. If the governing board or committee of the organization has reasonable cause to believe a board/committee member or employee has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, the member or employee will be informed of the basis for such belief and afforded an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. 9. If after hearing a member's or employee's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, it is determined that there was a failure to disclose, there will be appropriate disciplinary and corrective action, which could include, without limitation, termination of the person's membership, employment or contract. Records: minutes of the governing board and all committees of the organizations with board delegated powers shall contain: a. The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was or is present, and the governing board's or committee's decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed or exists.
