Identify interests and decision exposure
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. Fictional Holly organization procurement review:S1 compares vendors; S1 sibling works for vendor V2. S2 screens job applications; friend applies as C7. Policy requires disclosure and manager review before participating in related matter. OGE source concerns U.S.federal ethics, not universal private-employer law.
A conflict concern connects a personal interest to the work matter a person could influence; it is not automatically proof of wrongdoing.
Identify interests and decision exposure — worked practice
A conflict concern connects a personal interest to the work matter a person could influence; it is not automatically proof of wrongdoing.
Fictional Holly organization procurement review:S1 compares vendors; S1 sibling works for vendor V2. S2 screens job applications; friend applies as C7. Policy requires disclosure and manager review before participating in related matter. OGE source concerns U.S.federal ethics, not universal private-employer law. Use paper or a local document. Preserve the original case and make a separate changed-case record.
1. Step 1
Identify work matter and potential influence for each person.
You should see: S1 vendor comparison; S2 candidate screening.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
2. Step 2
Record related interest without unnecessary personal detail.
You should see: Sibling V2 employment; friend C7 application.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
3. Step 3
Separate potential conflict from proved biased outcome.
You should see: No actual favorable decision or misconduct is supplied.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
4. Step 4
Save two fictional disclosure-trigger cards.
You should see: Both need manager review under Holly policy before participation.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
What to finish
Save two fictional disclosure-trigger cards; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Watch for this
Calling a disclosed relationship proven corruption or applying federal-government law universally.
How can I tell I understand it?
Using the supplied identifiers, I can save two fictional disclosure-trigger cards. My changed-case record names the revised condition and explains which dependent decision it changes.
