Original Inquiry
BACKGROUND
Some outside business activities can create a real, potential or perceived conflict of interest in the minds of an organization, its customers or other employees. Typically, organizations will have an enterprise or corporate code of conduct that articulates how employees are expected to conduct themselves and requests that they avoid circumstances where a real, potential or perceived conflict of interest may arise. If a real, potential or perceived conflict of interest arises, there are guidelines/procedures around disclosure. During a sourcing initiative or engagement of a supplier/vendor/third party, awareness of a real, potential or perceived conflict of interest by an organization’s employees involved in the initiative/engagement is one aspect of Conflict of Interest.
