A practical, visual course on the one compliance topic almost everyone will face: the moment your private interests brush up against your work duties. Learn to tell an actual conflict from a potential or perceived one, where your duty to disclose actually comes from, how a declared conflict is managed through the six Rs and how conflicts show up in procurement, recruitment, secondary employment and family or related-party dealings, with diagrams, quick self-checks, a workplace decision scenario and notes on the integrity body that covers your jurisdiction.
