The Audit and Compliance Committee will review each Statement of Disclosure for actual or potential conflicts of interest, including, but not limited to, the following factors: * Solicitation or acceptance of gifts, gratuities, free travel, or other items of value that could create the appearance of a conflict or an expectation of special treatment in College matters; * Incidents of abuse or misuse of an individual's position for personal or third-party gain or benefit; * Use of the College's staff, services, equipment, materials, resources, or property for personal or third party gain, or representing to third parties that one's authority as a trustee, officer, volunteer, or key employee is more extensive than it is in actuality; * Situations where a trustee, officer, or key employee may be divided between personal interests or the interests of another organization and the best interests of the College; * Engagement in business, professional conduct, or other activities that may be directly or indirectly adverse to the interests of the College; and, * Any arrangements in which a trustee, officer, or key employee provides goods or services to the College as a paid vendor or outside service-provider.The Audit and Compliance Committee may request additional information from any trustee, officer, or key employee at any time.
