Reminder: FACT Inspectors and Committee Members Must Complete Annual Conflict of Interest Disclosure by August 1
Integrity is rooted in our mission, and we regularly monitor conflict of interest disclosures and other relevant information to identify any potential or real conflicts. FACT inspectors and committee members play an integral role in advancing the mission and goals of FACT and upholding the associated responsibilities. Respecting the importance of the conflict of interest (COI) process is also necessary when performing these roles. FACT’s accreditation and the nature of our work is critical, and we respect the seriousness of our volunteer-based accreditation and standards activities.
Closely related conflicts of interest are not inherently wrong or forbidden, but FACT must be made aware of such interests to evaluate their impact on its mission and activities to ensure the duties of an individual are carried out appropriately and not to the detriment of a fair outcome.
It is not the intent of these policies to prohibit or discourage anyone from participating in the activities of FACT or other outside interests. However, FACT is obligated to enforce adherence to our conflict of interest policies. Non-compliance may result in disqualification from participation in FACT activities.
To make it easier for our volunteers, we have implemented a new COI disclosure management software, NAVEXOne®.
