The Interests Register provides a central place to record any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest that could influence a member's responsibilities or decision-making.
Depending on your jurisdiction, the Interests Register may also be referred to as a Register of Interests or Declaration of Interests.
Managing interests
Board members can add and manage their own interests within the Interests Register.
Users with the Administrator, Chair, or Board Secretary role can view, add, edit, close, and delete interests for any member on the board. This helps ensure the register remains accurate and up to date.
To access the Interests Register, select Interests Register from the navigation menu
On the Interests Register page, you will be able to:
Add new interests
View interests for all members or select a specific individual.
Switch between Current Interests and Past Interests.
Manage an interest. Click on the 'three dots' next to an interest to edit the interest. You can edit, close or delete an interest.
Deleting an interest permanently removes it from the register. As a best practice, only delete interests that were entered in error or created as duplicates. Closing an interest retains the record and moves it to Past Interests. This helps organisations meet record-keeping requirements, including retaining historical interests for audit and governance purposes.
You can download the Interests Register as a PDF. The downloaded report will reflect your current selection, whether that is all interests or the interests of a specific individual.
