Fraud and Corporate Misconduct Watch

Harnessing AI and data to manage conflict of interest risk

Conflicts of interest (CoI) can quietly undermine an organisation’s foundation of trust, governance, and integrity. When undisclosed, they pave the way for fraud, compliance breaches, and lasting reputational harm.

 

Regulatory scrutiny is increasing, and a new international standard calls for a more structured and transparent approach to managing CoI. Yet, traditional methods such as self-declarations and manual reviews are often too static to detect hidden or evolving risks.

To stay ahead, organisations need to move to proactive detection of CoI by leveraging the power of data and GenAI.


Deloitte’s Conflict of Interest analytics

Connects internal and external data to uncover hidden relationships, detect behavioural anomalies, and continuously monitor potential conflicts across vendors, employees, and third parties.

This data-driven approach not only strengthens governance but also enhances decision-making, prevents financial loss, and demonstrates ethical leadership to regulators, investors, and the public.
 

Next steps

CoI are no longer just ethical considerations, they are strategic business risks. Moving from passive compliance to proactive, data-driven strategies is key.

By leveraging GenAI-powered analytics, leaders can detect the undetectable, strengthen governance, and protect trust.

The time to act is now.

Evaluate your conflict of interest policies, assess your data capabilities, and ask - Are you truly seeing the full picture?
