All employees are required to disclose potential conflicts to an independent party (the internal auditor). If a conflict is noted during this process, it is resolved through discussions with upper management, human resources, the employee, his/her direct supervisor and the internal auditor. Board members and committee members are required to present annually any possible conflicts of interest to the board of governance committee who then makes a ruling on whether the conflict of interest really exists.
