Conflict of Interest
Addressing Conflicts of Interest and Disclosure Management
Increased complexity and lack of transparency have forced many firms to realize the need to track and update their conflict of interest (COI) procedures. Creating a culture of ethics and trust begins from the tone that you set at the top. When it comes to disclosure management, that means being open with your employees and letting them know that you do not want to control their relationships, but you do need to know about their existing relationships to reduce the risk due to potential conflicts.
If your organization does not have a definite place for those disclosures to be made, they can easily be postponed or overlooked altogether, putting your firm at greater risk. Firms need a clean way to communicate what those conflicts of interest may be and offer a comfortable, unthreatening way for those disclosures to be made.
