What Does COI Stand For?
COI stands for Conflict Of Interest
COI, or Conflict of Interest, refers to a situation where an individual's personal interests, whether financial, professional, or otherwise, could potentially influence their judgment, decisions, or actions in their professional role. This can undermine the integrity of decision-making processes and lead to biased outcomes. Identifying and managing COIs is crucial for maintaining transparency, trust, and ethical standards in various sectors, including business, academia, and governance.
