Conflicts of Interest for Tax-Exempt Organizations

 

Directors must place the interests of the corporation ahead of personal gain.

The concern with transactions with directors/officers relates to the requirement that an individual should avoid using his or her position to obtain improperly a benefit for himself or herself, or an advantage which properly belongs to the corporation. The fact that the transaction is one in which the director has a personal interest is usually less significant than whether it was fair to the corporation at the time the decision was made and whether the decision was reached in an impartial board environment. This white paper reviews the prevalence of conflicts and how, in many situations, interested transactions are a healthy necessity.
