    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    Legal Conflict of Interest (COI) enables you to manage the disclosure, approval, and registry of conflict of interest that might arise from employees having competing interests or loyalties. You can submit COI requests using any of the following methods in the Employee Center:
    • COI intake form.
    • Conversational intake interface from the Now Assist in Virtual Agent.
    This topic describes how to submit a COI request using the conversational interface. The conversational intake functionality is available only when you have installed and configured Now Assist for Legal Service Delivery (LSD) that is a paid application.

    Resultado

    When an employee submits a COI disclosure the risk assessment utility evaluates the submission against a set of predefined risk factor . Each risk factor contributes to an overall risk score, which determines the risk level (Low, Medium, or High) and the corresponding approval routing. The risk level determines whether the request needs approval or can be auto-approved.
