Overview/Description

Many employees can face situations that can create a potential conflict of interest, where divided loyalties may affect their ability to make impartial decisions on behalf of their employer. Inappropriate resolution of these conflicts can result in direct financial loss to the organization, subject the organization to legal risk, as well as erode an organization's ethical culture and damage its reputation. This course describes how to identify potential conflicts of interest and respond appropriately to them. This course was developed with subject matter support provided by The Potomac Law Group, PLLC.
