Conflict of Interest Awareness
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.
What You Will Learn
- Define a conflict of interest and distinguish actual, potential and perceived conflicts from a conflict of duty
- Identify where your duty to disclose comes from, including directors' duties under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the public sector codes of conduct
- Make a declaration that is timely, written and detailed enough for someone else to manage
- Apply proportionate controls to a declared conflict using the six Rs, and record them in a register
- Recognise conflict risk in procurement, recruitment, secondary employment and related-party dealings, and know what happens when a conflict is not declared
