Audit Committee members then raise any questions they may have for management. F990_P06_S0B_L12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The Institute's conflicts of interest policy applies to officers, and members of the Council (the governing body), Audit and Investment Committees, ALI-ABA Board of Directors, and ALI-ABA Budget Committee. The policy requires disclosure of actual or potential conflicts of interest and all related material facts to the ALI President or Chair of Council or the President of the ALI-ABA Board of Directors, as applicable, prior to participating in discussion, consideration, or action on a transaction or arrangment under consideration. If there is a question as to whether a conflict of interest exists, the question is resolved by a vote of the Council or Executive Committee or the ALI-ABA Board of Directors, as applicable, in which matter the interested individual may not vote. Interested individuals may not be present during, or participate in, the consideration or action on the transaction or other arrangement. Key employees are covered by the conflicts of interest provisions in the Institute's Code of Conduct for Employees. Those provisions require disclosure of any conflicts of interest to an executive staff member identified in the Code. (In the case of the Director or ALI-ABA Executive Director, the disclosure is made to the President or Chair of the Council.) If warranted, appropriate action will be taken; for example, the employee might be excluded from involvement in the relevant matter, decision, or transaction. All persons to whom the conflicts of interest policy applies, as well as key employees, also must disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest through an annual disclosure process via a disclosure questionnaire. Any conflict-of-interest disclosures in the completed questionnaires are reviewed by the Audit Committee. If the Audit Committee determines that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists, it recommends an appropriate remedy to the President or Chair of Council or the President of the ALI-ABA Board of Directors, as applicable, unless such person has the actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case the Audit Committee makes its recommendation to the Executive Committee.
