“At least once a year, the council distributes a conflict of interest certification and disclosure form to its officers, directors and professional employees. The covered persons are required to complete and sign the certification and disclosure form, which is retained in the council files. The certification and disclosure forms are reviewed no less than annually by the Scout Executive and Treasurer.Additionally, the council compiles and maintains a list of potentially conflicted entities and individuals. Proposed transactions are then matched against the list as a means of identifying possible conflicts. The Scout Executive is ultimately responsible for maintaining the list and screening for possible conflicts of interest.The council also requests in writing that its major vendors and service providers disclose any relationship - personal, financial, or otherwise - that the vendor or service provider has with any of the council's directors, officers, employees or volunteers in order to assist the council in monitoring compliance with its conflict of interest policy. In addition, the council periodically reviews major transactions to ensure any compensation paid continues to be reasonable.If a possible conflict is identified with respect to a proposed transaction, the council follows procedures set forth in its conflict of interest policy to determine whether an actual conflict exists and the procedures for addressing the conflict of interest.If a covered person fails to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, appropriate disciplinary and corrective action is taken including possible termination for a covered employee and prohibition from participating in the deliberations of the governing body for a board member.”
