(11)In view of appropriate implementation, maintenance and review of conflict of interest policies and procedures, such policies and procedures should ensure that there are adequate and internally independent human resources for the management of conflicts of interest. Those human resources should also have the necessary skills, knowledge and expertise on conflicts of interest. For that reason, the person responsible for the management of conflicts of interest should be able to access and report directly to the relevant internal reporting channel in its management function and, where applicable, in its supervisory function.
