About 10 minutes · 3 reading + 7 practice and checks
Time includes reading, practice, and questions. Extra videos or further study are optional.
See this course’s project requirements

An ethics decision file with fictional gifts, outside interests and procurement scenarios, a role/conflict map, disclosure drafts, recusal decisions and a traceable authorized resolution.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • Save two fictional disclosure-trigger cards; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save unsent minimal disclosure and restricted routing record; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save recusal/task-owner plan and monitoring question; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save gift-offer register with unsent decline/referral draft; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save reassignment/access audit with actual-change verification needed; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save disclosure/recusal/gift/access/follow-up packet; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • The final packet uses the supplied task-specific constraints and all six records agree.
  • Every result can be traced to an identifier, input, calculation or stated decision rule.
  • Changed-case practice updates dependent records and keeps holds or uncertainty visible.
  • The packet states the learner role, authority boundary and specific next verification needed before real work.

The idea in everyday life

Original fictional workplace practice; paper or a local document is sufficient. The rules and records below are supplied for this exercise, not asserted universal workplace policy. Holly S3 takes M8 vendor review; needs bid criteria/current vendor records. Restricted S1 disclosure belongs E only. Shared M8 draft still gives S1 edit access and lists S1 approver. E recusal direction remains active.

The idea

A conflicted person’s replacement needs the work records necessary to decide, but not irrelevant confidential disclosure detail; access and decision ownership must agree.

Check reassignment and access boundaries — worked practice

A conflicted person’s replacement needs the work records necessary to decide, but not irrelevant confidential disclosure detail; access and decision ownership must agree.

Holly S3 takes M8 vendor review; needs bid criteria/current vendor records. Restricted S1 disclosure belongs E only. Shared M8 draft still gives S1 edit access and lists S1 approver. E recusal direction remains active. Use paper or a local document. Preserve the original case and make a separate changed-case record.

  1. 1. Step 1

    Compare task owners with current edit/approval permissions.

    You should see: S1 edit/approver conflicts with recusal direction.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  2. 2. Step 2

    Draft authorized permission and owner correction request.

    You should see: Remove S1M8 decision access/approval; assign S3 subject to E approval.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  3. 3. Step 3

    Separate M8 work evidence from restricted disclosure.

    You should see: S3 gets needed documents, not unrelated private interests.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  4. 4. Step 4

    Save reassignment/access audit with actual-change verification needed.

    You should see: A request alone does not prove the permissions changed.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

Now change one thing

S1 edit removed but approval field still names S1. How many of the two conflicting fields remain?

Your work

What to finish

Save reassignment/access audit with actual-change verification needed; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Reassigning the work on paper while old editor/approver permissions still allow influence.

How can I tell I understand it?

Using the supplied identifiers, I can save reassignment/access audit with actual-change verification needed. My changed-case record names the revised condition and explains which dependent decision it changes.
