Thank you.
In paragraph 6.44, you note that the same law firm that the foundation's external general counsel worked for was “hand-selected” to produce a report on financial mismanagement in human resource practices at the foundation. You note that “This could create the appearance that the investigation was not independent.” However, this also appears like a selection based on previous work and trustworthiness.
In your view, how can foundations and arm's-length corporations better prepare for perceived conflicts of interest? How can board members get a better understanding of what “a perceived conflict of interest” may actually be?
