“The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy by performing periodic reviews which consist of (1) determining whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the results of arm's length bargaining and (2) determining whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to gpl's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, and do not result in inurement or in an excess benefit transaction. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or commitee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
