Public trust depends on government decisions being made in the public interest, yet only 40 percent of people across OECD countries report high or moderately high trust in their national government (OECD, 2026). Conflict interest training helps government employees recognize situations where personal interests could influence official duties.
This course provides a practical guide to recognizing, disclosing, reporting, and managing conflicts of interest, covering financial interests, family and personal relationships, outside employment, gifts and gratuities, government resources, confidential information, and participation in official decisions. Through realistic scenarios involving procurement, permits, and contractors, you will learn to spot warning signs, understand manager responsibilities, make ethical decisions, and protect public trust.
Use this course to help ensure employees understand what a conflict of interest is, why it matters in government work, and how employees should respond when a conflict arises.
