Conflicts of interest exist when a person is deriving income from a source related to the business of the association or where a member of the committee has competing interests or loyalties. These are common and range from a minor concern to a major concern. It is how we handle the conflict that is important. This policy briefly covers this area and is a requirement of Fair Trading NSW.
