Arts Council Grant Management IT System: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Maura McGrath:

I am not, is the honest answer at the moment. However, I believe conflict of interest is an essential ingredient of good governance because it brings all sorts of concerns for other people in the sector. I have in front of me the single page on conflict of interest that goes into our annual report. It refers to all board members. I was going to hand over to the company secretary because below the board members there is a conflict of interest which would impact on executives and staff. That is an important part as well.
