GOVERNANCE

TPGEF has in place practices of good governance in key areas aligning to the principles and guidelines set forth under the Code of Governance for Charities and Institutions of a Public Character. TPGEF has adopted the following policies and guidelines:

Conflict of Interest Policy

The purpose of this policy is to protect the integrity of the TPGEF and its Management Committee, TP and its staff and students, and the disbursement of TPGEF for scholarships, bursaries, awards and financial assistance to TP students. TPGEF Management Committee members and TP staff who undertake either the role of the approver of recipients of any award, or financial assistance or approver of disbursement of funds under the TPGEF, must be free from conflict of interest that might adversely influence their judgment and objectivity.

All selection committee members are required to declare if they are related to the nominated recipient(s) of any award or financial assistance under the TPGEF when the nominations are submitted for approval.

All Management Committee members are required to declare if they are related to the recipient(s) of any award or financial assistance under the TPGEF when approvals for disbursement of funds are given.

All individuals who are related to the recipients shall not participate in the nomination of recipients or approval for disbursement of the TPGEF.

For other matters tabled for the Management Committee’s decision and discussion, members do not vote or participate in such matters where they have a conflict of interest.

In line with the disclosure requirements by the Charity Council, the Governance Evaluation Checklist of TPGEF disclosing the extent of its compliance with the Code can be found at the Charity Portal website.   

Reserve Policy

The reserves set aside are to provide financial stability and to ensure a continuous supply of funds to meet the objectives of the TPGEF. The target is to maintain the reserves at a level equivalent to one year’s disbursements and expenses.
