Donaldson Report

The Donaldson Report is a study conducted in 1990 by Justice Donaldson, which examined how governments and organizations manage conflicts of interest—situations where personal interests could influence professional decisions. It emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability to ensure decisions are made fairly and ethically. The report recommended clear policies and structures to identify, prevent, and manage conflicts of interest, aiming to maintain public trust and integrity in government and organizational operations. Its principles help ensure that decisions are made based on merit and public interest, rather than personal gain.
