Conflicts of interest are not always illegal and may be managed by disclosing the potential conflict and then leaving it up to the other party to decide whether to proceed with the transaction. In the medical field, conflicts of interest such as when a doctor receives money from a pharmaceutical company for prescribing their drugs is called a “pay-for-prescribe” conflict. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has identified over 1,000 federal programs with conflicts of interest that are not managed or monitored.
