CGOV.6:1 - Problem frame

Use this pattern when a corporate matter may be influenced by a participant’s other interests or duties, when a transaction involves a connected party, or when a proposed exclusion needs a reason beyond disagreement with that participant.

Begin with the matter, the participant’s contribution and the duty or rule that governs it. Identify the potentially competing interest and how it could affect the contribution. Return a supported conflict account, the applicable participation or disclosure conditions and any unresolved question that changes handling of the matter.
