| olesya | report any beneficial interest - disclosure of conflicts |
| Vibis | I thought it was about additional compensation arrangements, which, as a result, create conglict of interests, bu I was wrong. The AddCompArrangement Standard states: "Members should make an immediate written report to their employer specifying any compensation they receive or propose to receive for services in addition to compensation or benefits received from their primary employer." So it's about direct compensation and its immediate disclosure. The Disclosure of conflicts standard is about situations, where conflicts of interests could be reasonable assumed: "Members and candidates should: ? Disclose to their employer all matters, such as beneficial interest (ownership of securities), corporate directorships, trusteeships and any special relationships, that reasonably could be expected to interfere with their duty to their employer or abilities to make unbiased and objective recommendations;" |
| ashish100 | ^ can't believe this guy spent all that time writing when the answer is so damn obvious. I know things can get tricky but it literally says "relationships that could pose a conflict of interest" |
