Management plans are created to proactively address questions that may arise regarding an individual's objectivity, integrity or professional commitment as a result of a disclosed activity, relationship or financial interest. Some federal funding agencies specifically require a management plan be developed and implemented when a financial conflict of interest is identified.

The existence of a management plan demonstrates that the individual and the University have considered the situation carefully, recognize the issues involved, and taken steps to prevent future problems.
