        <ExplanationTxt>Conflict of Interest Policy: It is the policy of Heartland for Children (HFC) that Board members, employees, and volunteers (herein referred to as "representative"representatives") will conduct HFC's business with integrity, in compliance with applicable laws, and without consideration to personal benefit. All reasonable steps are to be taken to avoid conflicts of interest, actual or perceived, between personal interests and official duties. Definitions: Conflict of Interest - A conflict of interest may be considered to exist in those instances where the actions or activities of an individual on behalf of Heartland for children also involve: (1) obtaining personal gain or advantage;(2) an adverse effect on Heartland for Children's interest or image; or (3) obtaining an improper gain or advantage by a third party. Honorarium - Payment for a professional speaking event. Relative - With regard to employment of relatives, the term "Relative" refers to parents, in-laws, children, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, or family members residing in the same household. General Procedures: 1. Conflict of Interest A. Conflict Representatives shall make prompt and full disclosure to his/her supervisor via the Conflict of Interest form of any prospective or actual situation that involves, may involve, or might appear to involve a conflict of interest. Conflict of interest may include but is not limited to: (1) ownership or financial interest by a representative or family member in any business partner or competitor of HFC; (2) serving as an officer, director, employee, consultant, or agent to any business partner or competitor of HFC; (3) acting as a broker, finder, or any other intermediary for the benefit of a third party in a transaction potentially involving HFC. B. Nepotism Members of the same family or living within the same domicile may be employed by HFC in the same quadrant, but not within the same chain of command, unless the Risk Management Team finds such employment is not in HFC's best interest. Relatives of Executive Management, as well as those working in Human Resources, Audit Services and Payroll departments shall not be hired by HFC in any capacity. C. Gifts to Heartland for Children representatives HFC representatives shall neither seek nor accept for themselves or others personal gifts, favors, entertainment, loans, unpaid services, or other types of gratuities from any person or entity doing business or in competition with HFC, clients, families of clients or referral sources. However, the acceptance of refreshments served at a meeting/event and plaques/awards which does not create a corrupting influence, is acceptable. The following standards must apply:(1) consistent with customary business practices; (2) not excessive in value; (3) could not be interpreted as graft or an inducement; (4) within the boundaries of legal and ethical standards; (5) is not purchased with federal or state funds, unless allowable; (6) would not embarrass Heartland for Children or their representatives if publicly disclosed. Honorariums may only be received in the name of Heartland for Children. D. Credits/Allowances/Rebates to Heartland for Children business partners or their representatives Credits, allowances, rebates, and discounts may be paid only on accounts where related revenue was originally recorded. They may be paid only to the specific business entity or account with which HFC has a contractual agreement, and not their representative. All such transactions shall be fully documented. E. Outside Activities a. Representatives shall not provide services such as management consultation to any outside concern which does business with or whose activities are adverse to HFC. b. All secondary employment must be disclosed using the Conflict of Interest/Secondary Employment Form and returned to Human Resources. These forms will be reviewed by the Risk Management Team with the Human Resources Director, using the following criteria: (1) does a conflict of interest exist; (2) does the employment interfere with HFC position; (3) does the employment present a risk to Heartland for Children's public image. c. Active public campaigning for an elected political office while on duty or while representing HFC, endorsing a candidate for political office on behalf of HFC, or otherwise assisting a candidate in the campaign for office by using Heartland for Children's resources or reputation is not permitted. F. Accounting Standards All accounts and records shall be documented in a manner that clearly identifies the true nature of all business transactions, assets, liabilities, and fund balances. HFC will be in full compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) at all times. No record, entry, or document shall be false, distorted, misleading, misdirected, deliberately incomplete, or suppressed. Procedures for Conflict of Interest (1) It is the responsibility of each HFC employee to report any actual or perceived conflict of interest to Management, Human Resources, or the Employee Helpline (1-877-780-9374) (2) Upon new hire and annually, representatives will be asked to complete a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement, which must be signed and returned to the Human Resources Department within 30 days. The purpose of this is two-fold: a. acknowledgement of understanding HFC's policy on ethical behavior, including the responsibility to disclose any actual or perceived conflict of interest; b. disclosure of any conflict or appearance of a conflict between personal interests and the interests of HFC. (3) Failure to comply or falsification of disclosure may result in disciplinary action, including possible dismissal. (4) All employees disclosing a conflict or potential conflict must have the Conflict of Interest form reviewed by the Risk Management Team for final determination. (5) Conflict of Interest forms for Executive Management Team and HFC Board of Directors will also be sent to the Devereux Foundation's Corporate Compliance representative for their records. 2. Standards of Conduct Heartland for Children is committed to fully comply with all laws and regulations that apply to our organization. For this reason, HFC purchased the Devereux Foundation's Corporate Compliance Services for training, review and consultation. Employees receive the corporate compliance training upon new hire and annually thereafter. Employees are reminded to: a. exercise good faith and honesty in all dealings and transactions; b. observe all laws and regulations that govern what we do; c. provide accurate and truthful information in all transactions; d. contact one of the following resources available within HFC if you have any knowledge or concern regarding potential fraud, falsification, waste, or abuse: (1) Supervisor or another manager; (2) If the supervisor or manager is not available, or you are not comfortable speaking with him or her, or you believe the matter has not been adequately resolved, contact the Director of Human Resources; (3) You may also report a concern by calling the Devereux Corporate Compliance Helpline. If you wish, you may remain anonymous when calling the Helpline. The Helpline is a confidential service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Helpline number is: 1-877-780-9374. 3. Non-retaliation/Retribution Heartland for Children strictly prohibits retaliation in any form against any individual making a report, complaint or inquiry in good faith. If HFC determines that an individual, whether employee or independent contractor, has engaged in such retaliation, appropriate action will be taken - including disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from employment or termination of its business relationship.</ExplanationTxt>
