Management of Conflict of Interest

The Society has a conflict of interest policy in place. All trustees/office bearers and key management personnel are required to read and understand the conflict of interest policy. They are required to make full disclosure of interests and to sign the declaration form every year.

When a conflict of interest situation arises, the person concerned shall declare his or her interests and abstain from participating in the discussion, decision-making and voting on the matter.

During the fiscal year 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2023, there was no transaction with a corporation in which the trustees/office bearers and the key management personnel had an interest.
