This guide is designed for trustees of all charities regardless of the size or type of the charity. It aims to help trustees identify and manage conflicts of interest

This guide was created to help trustees find out the legal and regulatory requirements relating to conflicts of interest and how they can identify and manage them. It also includes a checklist for addressing the conflict.

This Guidance note, based on the model policy developed by ICSA, aims to provide charities with a generic model document that can be amended to suit the needs of individual organisations, whilst addressing the fundamental issues that arise from real and perceived conflicts of interest.

A useful webpage that provides relevant links of sample documents covering the basic format of a “conflict of interest policy” and “declaration of interest” form. 

This is a conflict of interest policy template which will be useful for charities looking to set up a conflict of interest policy for the first time.
