What does conflict of interest mean?
A conflict of interest is a situation in which an employee has private interests that could improperly influence the performance of his or her official duties or in which an employee uses his or her position for personal gain.
A real conflict of interest exists at the present time, an apparent conflict of interest could be perceived by a reasonable observer to exist, whether or not it is the case, and a potential conflict of interest could reasonably be foreseen to exist in the future.
