Overview

A conflict of interest is a situation in which a person or organisation is involved in multiple interests and where serving any one of those interests could work against another.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), in its Conflicts of Interest Policy document (published in January 2019), defines a conflict of interest as follows:

'A conflict of interest arises when your work could be affected by your personal financial matters or a close personal relationship. It could also arise if your work could be affected by a personal interest of your close family or any other close personal relationship with an individual. It becomes significant if any person, internally or externally, might reasonably believe there is a risk of your actions, or those of a personal associate, being inappropriately influenced.'

Join this course to get a good understanding of Conflict of Interest and how to identify and manage such cases within your daily job.
