A manager accepted a personal gift from a supplier and made a wrong purchase decision. This is against which professional principle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Avoiding conflict of interest

A conflict of interest occurs when a manager’s personal benefit can influence, or appear to influence, an official decision. A gift from a supplier creates a personal connection and may encourage the manager to favour that supplier instead of choosing the best value, quality or terms for the organisation. Even if the manager claims to be fair, accepting such a gift can weaken impartiality and public or organisational trust.

Option A is correct because a personal gift has placed private interest alongside the organisation’s purchasing interest. Production planning, division of work and a training programme describe different management activities and do not identify the ethical problem in this case. A professional manager should disclose or refuse such benefits and base purchasing decisions on objective criteria. Avoiding conflicts protects fairness, accountability and the organisation’s resources.
