cbb1 Since this Standard is Responsibilites to the Employer, the Employer (the Firm) can decided whether the conflicted profit can be kept by the employee; this is NOT a conflict related to a client.
Khadria "IV" may also not correct because "All potential conflicts" may not have been related to the employer and hence need not be disclosed to the employer.

What about the disclosure to clients? Are there possibilities of the conflicts where only client needs to be informed?
ribi conflicts here refer to conflicts of interests I guess, since this is for the Disclosure of Conflicts section. The textbook said so (all must be disclosed to the employer)
hannovanwyk ALWAYS BE AWARE OF STRONG WORD USAGE LIKE "ALWAYS". :)
NikolaZ To Khadria: All potential conflicts do need to be reported to the employer. Some of these conflicts will also need to be reported to the client. Reporting a conflict to a client, does not mean that this conflict need not be reported to the employer.
