Cease

Bring

Bring

And

With

A

And
promise of a glorious day.

3 Declaration
of Interest
|
Members are reminded of the need to be
vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between
their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might
have.
The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for
Elected Members (the Code) requires elected members to fully acquaint
themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland
Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy. The policy covers two
classes of conflict of interest:
- A financial
conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the
local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial
gain or loss to an elected member
- A non-financial
conflict interest, which does not have a direct personal financial
component. It may arise, for example, from a personal
relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from
conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.
The Office of the Auditor General has
produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of
the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968. The guidelines
discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members
with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a
conflict of interest.
Copies of both the Auckland Council Code
of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General
guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request.
Any questions relating to the Code or the
guidelines may be directed to the Local Area Manager in the first instance.
