1 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW

2 Convercent is the conflict of interest (COI) management tool that drastically improves the way disclosures are made, managed and monitored. It s what your employees trust and use to disclose relationships and activities that may affect their ability to do their job. It s what your compliance, legal and HR teams use to understand those disclosures, determine whether a COI (or the perception of one) could exist and take action to curb the likelihood and impact of COIs on the organization. You use it to monitor and demonstrate that you re diffusing COIs before they escalate into issues, and anticipate how business changes may affect COIs. And auditors, monitors, senior leaders and regulators use it to verify your good faith effort to get out in front of risks early. We provide the industry s best user experience for everyone, whether they re making, managing or monitoring COI disclosures. And we ve built the most robust reporting and analytics engine to deliver insight into trends about COIs and their impact on your organization. All to drive alerts, activity and confidence from cubicle to boardroom. Here s how. COI MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW 2

3 INTERFACE Make it easy and straightforward for employees to make disclosures. Guide employees through the entire process without making them feel like they did something wrong. Encourage employee completion and candor so you can better understand and address conflicts within your organization. COI MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW 3

4 LINK TO POLICIES Prompt employees to make disclosures at the same time they attest to your COI policy or Code of Conduct, and drop them directly on to your disclosure form. Capture disclosures while employees have a clear understanding of COIs, drive completion rates and minimize compliance fatigue by reducing the disjoint between policy and disclosure campaign.

5 CUSTOMIZATION Customize the disclosure types and related questionnaires. Present and collect information specific to the types of conflicts most likely to impact your organization. COI MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW 5

6 DECLINATIONS Keep track of when employees tell you they don t have conflicts to disclose. Easily distinguish between employees without conflicts and those who have yet to make their disclosures, and protect your organization if something goes wrong with easily accessible, auditable records of disclosure and declination history. COI MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW 6

7 TARGETED DISCLOSURES Configure and collect different types of COIs for different employees so they choose from and disclose only the types of conflicts most relevant to their role. Reduce irrelevant disclosures and the unnecessary administrative burden they put on disclosure reviewers, while minimizing compliance fatigue for employees. COI MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW 7

8 APPROVALS Require additional approval layers for specific types of COIs and provide reviewers with clearance templates to choose from. Increase the visibility and scrutiny of high-risk conflicts and ensure consistent responses with standardized templates. COI MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW 8

9 CLEARANCE ATTESTATIONS Get employees to attest to the conditions under which you re clearing a disclosure. Protect your company by keeping auditable records that employees understand and acknowledge the clearance conditions for their COIs. COI MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW 9

10 ONGOING UPDATES Specify how frequently employees need to check their disclosures for accuracy, while making it easy to review, update or archive disclosures at any time as things change or during annual disclosure drives. Employees can also save progress on disclosures they re not ready to submit. Encourage employees to revisit disclosures to ensure you have the most up-to-date information around the real and potential conflicts facing your organization. COI MANAGER SOLUTION OVERVIEW 10
