Conflict of Interest policy explained
Within the forex industry it is possible in certain circumstances for conflicts to arise between a forex company, its directors, employees and other related group companies and associates. In order to prevent and minimize the risk of such conflicts occurring, an internal conflict of interest policy can be adopted, to avoid any damage or risk to the company’s clients.
Conflicts of interest exist in all financial services organizations, including forex companies. A conflict of interest occurs when an individual or organization is involved in a number of complex circumstances that could result in the personal or professional interests of a board member conflicting with the best interests of the company. In addition, a conflict of interest may arise when a client is dissatisfied with the services offered by the forex brokerage firm. A conflict of interest policy is therefore adopted with the purpose of limiting or prohibiting business transactions with board members.
A conflict of interest policy is put in place to evaluate and manage all conflicts of interest. A number of policies, procedures and processes are implemented for this purpose. This policy requires that all board members disclose any potential conflicts, so that board members who are voting on a decision, for example, are aware that another member’s interests are being affected. In addition, any other conflicts that arise within the company must be addressed in compliance with the conflict of interest policy.
