The Conflict of Interest Agreement for Employees is designed to protect organizations operating in Malaysia by establishing clear guidelines for identifying, disclosing, and managing potential conflicts of interest in the workplace. This document is essential when organizations need to ensure transparency, maintain ethical business practices, and comply with Malaysian regulatory requirements, including the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and the Companies Act 2016.
