ICAS Oversight Board - Register of Interests

Members of the Oversight Board must declare any interests that may influence, or may be perceived to influence, their ability to act impartially or objectively in fulfilling their role as a member of the Oversight Board.

Conflicts of interests

There are many different forms of interest which could create a conflict in a matter being discussed by the Oversight Board. Some of the main examples are:

• The involvement of a family member or friend.
• A close association with one of the parties or entities involved.
• The involvement of a current or previous work colleague
• Any financial interest or impact (however small).
• Any prejudice or benefit which may follow the Oversight Board’s discussion.

Oversight Board members are reminded that potential and perceived conflicts of interest are as important as actual conflicts.

Interests should be declared in advance of the relevant matter being discussed by the Oversight Board – either immediately upon becoming aware of the matter, or at the beginning of the meeting.

Depending on the nature of the interest, the Chair may require the member to leave the meeting for the duration of the discussion.
