01

Mark actor and counterparty

Identify whether the case concerns a manager, distributor, employee, or investor and what action occurred between them.

02

Treat conflicts as a process

Find the conflict, avoid or manage it, and provide required information. Disclosure alone does not automatically solve every conflict.

Recheck current amendments
