Financial oversight

ACF's controls include board approval of budgets, separation of duties so that no single person controls a transaction end to end, and periodic financial review.

Conflict-of-interest management

Directors and reviewers will be expected to disclose interests and abstain from related decisions. The full policy is published on the Conflict-of-Interest Policy page.

Decision-making procedures

Decisions will be made at properly convened meetings and recorded in minutes, so that there is always a written account of what was decided, by whom, and why.
