Conflict of Interest Declarations
Tool Summary
Policy
Staff and contractors must declare any actual or potential conflict of interest where their objectivity, independence or impartiality are, could be, or could be perceived to be compromised, or where their actions could lead to a claim they were biased, or unfair in their dealings with others.
Anyone selecting, recommending or approving contractors or grant recipients must complete a Conflict of Interest declaration. Failure to advise and proactively manage conflict of interests could jeopardise MFAT’s reputation, the integrity of a process or the outcome of an activity.
For more information see the topic Conflict of Interest in the Contracting Policy and in part 1, Setting the Scene in the Contracting Policy and Guidelines.
