  • Part A: Conflict of interest

  • Conflict of interest

    In McDonald Carter / McCarter Group, we believe in "People First". However, employees should avoid any situation that involves, or appears to involve, a conflict between their personal interests and the interests of the Firm. That means employees should avoid circumstances that might affect their judgement or impartiality when performing their jobs. A conflict of interest exists if any employee has any interests or activities held outside the Firm that may be advanced at the expense of the Firm or its clients. In general, employees are advised to refrain from letting personal and/or financial interests and external activities come into opposition with the Firm’s fundamental interests. 

    The responsibility of resolving a conflict of interest starts from the immediate supervisor and may reach Senior or Top Management. All conflicts of interest will be resolved as fairly as possible. Top Management has the responsibility of the final decision when a solution can not be found.

    Employees must disclose any obligation, commitment, relationship or interest that could conflict or may be perceived to conflict with his or her duties by making a declaration with CONFIDENCE using this Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form.

    Where an employee is found to have any real, apparent or potential conflict of interest but FAILED TO DECLARE, the employee is in violation of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and may be subject to legal claims or proceedings or disciplinary measures including termination of employment.
