The Conflict of Interest Disclosure Letter is a critical governance tool used in South African business practice to maintain transparency and ethical conduct in organizational operations. This document is required whenever an individual identifies a situation where their personal interests could potentially interfere with their professional duties or the organization's interests. The letter must comply with South African legislation, particularly the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act 12 of 2004, while also aligning with the principles outlined in the King IV Report on Corporate Governance. It typically includes detailed information about financial interests, personal relationships, or business arrangements that could create conflicts, along with proposed measures to manage these conflicts. The document is particularly important in contexts where fiduciary duties are involved or where decision-making could be influenced by personal interests.
