With regard to control procedures concerning conflicts of interest, secondees sign an undertaking that they will comply with the NTMA’s Code of Practice on Confidentiality and Professional Conduct for Secondees. This document deals inter alia with the secondees’ obligations in respect of the disclosure of conflicts of interest. In the event that they find themselves in a position of actual or potential conflict of interest or where there might be a perception of bias or where their impartiality or professionalism in carrying out their obligations may be potentially affected, they are required to disclose the existence of the conflict of interest or any related issue in writing to the Head of the Business Unit to which they have been assigned. Periodic training is undertaken on the obligations contained in the Code of Practice.
