05/11/23, 01.03 M3-W10-V2-Dilemmas: APSC 100 2023W1 Introduction to Engineering | Conflict of interest is when you have the potential to personally receive an additional benefit in carrying out your duty to a client or employer. This extends to benefits others close to you might receive as a result of your actions. Appearance matters here, and even if there is no true conflict of interest, if it might appear to outside observers that your ability to act impartially has been compromised, you should still treat this as a conflict of interest. You should always act within the law and code of ethics, but this is about general ethical behaviour, not assessing conflict of interest. Note: although a conflict of interest may be illegal or against the code of ethics in some cases, this is not a necessary condition to make it a conflict of interest. neerrest - Question 4 0/1 pts What does Rights Ethics say should be considered in the following scenario?
