MANAGEMENT AND AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST b. Exco/MC members are expected to avoid actual and perceived conflicts of interest. Where Exco/MC members have personal interest in business transactions or contracts that SCF may enter into, or have vested interest in other organisations that SCF have dealings with or is considering to enter into joint ventures with, they are expected to declare such interests to the Exco as soon as possible and abstain from discussion and decision-making on the matter. Where such conflicts exist, the Exco/MC will evaluate whether any potential conflicts of interest will affect the continuing independence of Exco/MC members and whether it is appropriate for the Exco/MC member to continue to remain on the Exco/MC.
