Management of conflicts of interest
We work for a diverse client base, which might occasionally have interests or positions that conflict or appear to conflict.
We operate a strict and systematic policy to manage such conflicts of interest.
We operate on a "first come, first served" basis. Specifically, before accepting any assignment from any client, we verify that:
- no other ongoing work gives rise to a conflict, or a potential perceived conflict that cannot be addressed to the satisfaction of all interested parties, with the new assignment;
- none of the restraints on other work agreed between Reckon and any current or past clients would apply to the proposed assignment;
- no confidential information available to the project team could prejudice their independence or impartiality in relation to the new assignment;
- neither Reckon nor any of its partners has any major financial interest in the outcome of the work under the new assignment;
- any known material financial interests (such as ordinary shareholdings held as investments) have been disclosed to the client.
We also protect our clients' information by agreeing and implementing appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
