Annually staff, board members, and officers are presented with the conflict of interest policy and must disclose any interests or relations that could conflict with the interests of the organization via a signed disclosure. The full board reviews and approves all conflicts of interest and related party transactions. The Board Chair and CEO is notified if an officer, director, or key employee discloses a conflict of interest. The person in a position to affect a decision in which he/she may have a conflict of interest must abstain from discussion and voting on the decision by absenting themselves from the room during such discussion and vote. The specifics of the related party transaction and votes are then reflected in the minutes of board meetings. Any material related party transactions are disclosed in the footnotes of the audited financial statements of Open Doors. Comparison bids are obtained for these transactions and the board reviews the comparisons and makes a determination based on the benefit versus risk to the ministry. In addition, the board approves the amount of the transaction, and this is documented in the minutes. |
