After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the interested person leaves the committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining committee members decides if a conflict of interest exists. If the committee has reasonable cause to believe that an interested person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it informs the interested person of the basis for such belief and affords the interested person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the interested person's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the committee determines that an interested person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it takes appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
