Conflict of Interest

Principals

For all University tender exercises, the Conflict of Interest policy requires that all evaluation team members sign a Conflict of Interest statement.

This policy outlines the general standards of conduct expected of University staff members, external appointees and directors in respect of conflicts of interests. The policy is only concerned with conflicts of interest, which arise where a conflict has, or appears to have, the capacity to influence the conduct of a particular individual, whether or not it has actually done so. A conflict of interest does not, of itself, imply that any particular wrongdoing has occurred or will occur.

As a staff member, external appointee or director, you are obliged to avoid, consistently with the terms of this policy, real or perceived conflicts of interest between your personal or private interests or duties and your duties to the University.

This policy sets out the procedures that must be followed in order to limit, report and record, and prepare a plan to eliminate or manage, actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest.
