What is a conflict of interest? Provide an example.

On Jun 24, 2024


A conflict of interestexists when an individual must choose whether to advance his or herown interests, those of the organization, or those of some other group. Students may come up with several examples. One notable example is with the bond rating agencies prior to the financial crisis. The agencies earned as much as three times more for grading complex products. They competed against each other for ratings jobs, contributing to lower ratings standards. Companies who were paying for the ratings could also "shop around" the different agencies for the best rating. The bond rating agencies were therefore tempted to rate these complex instruments higher and minimize the risks.​
