Extract/Description

The framework for controlling conflicts of interest is to clarify conflicts of interest for everyone at risk so that they can recognise conflict of interest situations and know what they need to do.

Key Points

1. Conflicts of interest are a significant contributor to corruption and should be handled appropriately by any organisation.
2. If conflicts of interest are not dealt with properly, the risks associated with fraud and corruption are likely to increase significantly.
