Policy on Conflict of Interests & Connected Persons
To adhere to the requirements of the Statement of Principles for Approved Persons, Armagh Credit Union will seek to avoid the potential for conflicts of interest to arise. Responsibilities of connected persons (for example, relatives and other close relationships) shall be kept entirely separate. They should not hold key posts at the same time as each other nor will they be permitted to take part in the same committee or to work in the same area of the credit union operations. Where this is unavoidable, the credit union will make every effort, including the following measures, to ensure that sufficient segregation of responsibilities exists, to avoid opportunities for collusion and that the grounds for potential allegations to arise are limited. No Director, Supervisor, Committee Member, Employee or Volunteer shall set up an account or make any change in the books or systems of the credit union in respect of their own account or the account of any members of his family. Staff will not have access to family member accounts on the computer system. From the ILCU Standard Rules, family member means (a) a spouse or civil partner (b) any lineal ancestor, lineal descendant, brother, sister, half-brother, half sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, first cousin of his/her spouse or civil partner. (c) the spouse or civil partner of any person within sub-paragraph (d) adoptive father, mother, son or daughter and for the purpose of deducing any such relationship, an illegitmate child or step-child shall be treated as the legitimate child of the relationship in question. Armagh Credit Union will not make a loan to a relative of, or any person otherwise connected with, an officer, approved person or paid employee of the credit union on terms more favourable than those available to other members of the credit union. Each Director, Supervisor, Committee Member, Employee and Volunteer will avoid circumstances in which personal interests conflict, or appear to conflict, with the interests of the credit union or its members. The Board expects officers to self-declare any potential conflicts affecting them. External positions held or involvement by a Director, Supervisor, Committee Member, Employee or Volunteer in outside activities must not: give rise to any real or apparent conflict with the members' interests; adversely reflect on the credit union; or interfere with an individual's job/role performance. In some circumstances a Director, Supervisor, Committee Member, Employee or Volunteer may directly or indirectly hold an interest that conflicts/may conflict with the credit union's interest. In all such circumstances, and in order to protect both the individual and the credit union in exercising objective decisions, such interest must be declared in advance.
