Here's an interesting ethical dilemma that many people in power encounter sometime during their careers!
CONFLICT OF INTEREST 利害の衝突
- A conflict of interest is a situation in which someone's public responsibilities could be used for their personal advantage.
- conflict of interest とは、ある人が、自分の公的な責任を個人的利益のために用いることができる状況、つまり、利害の衝突のことです。
- When it was learned that his brother speculates in real estate, Andrew was asked to resign from the City Planning Commission due to a potential conflict of interest.
- In order to avoid conflicts of interest, we prohibit our accountants from investing in client companies.
- (a politician speaking to his staff)
Even just the appearance of a conflict of interest could be very damaging for us, so I expect everyone to exercise great caution.
