Conflicts of interest software
Conflicts of interest arise in the workplace when personal interests, like relationships, outside employment or other external affiliations, overlap with professional responsibilities.
To manage the risks these can create, organizations need a clear way to capture and review these situations with conflicts of interest disclosure management software.

Manage conflicts of interest before they become risks
Conflicts of interest don’t always start as problems, but if unmanaged, they can lead to bias, damaged trust, or compliance risk. Managing conflicts of interest disclosures is not about controlling employee relationships. It is about knowing where risks exist so they can be managed fairly.
The real issue is friction. Without a clear process for COI disclosures, employees may delay or avoid reporting altogether. This creates blind spots and exposes the organization to regulatory and reputational harm.

Frequently asked questions
What is SpeakUp's conflict of interest software?
SpeakUp's conflict of interest solution (part of SpeakUp Paths) gives organizations a structured, digital process for employees to declare potential conflicts. It replaces manual spreadsheets and email-based workflows with configurable disclosure forms, multi-level approval chains, and a centralized, searchable register of all declarations.
Who uses SpeakUp for conflict of interest management?
Enterprise compliance, legal, and HR teams use SpeakUp's COI solution to manage disclosures across large, complex organizations. The platform supports multi-entity structures, allowing organizations to manage disclosures across subsidiaries, regions, and business units from a single dashboard.
Can SpeakUp's COI workflows be customized?
Yes. Organizations can define custom form fields, approval hierarchies, escalation triggers, and notification rules to match their internal COI policies. Workflows can be configured differently for different entity types, regions, or employee levels without requiring technical support.
Does SpeakUp's COI tool integrate with other compliance capabilities?
Yes. Conflict of interest disclosures sit within the broader SpeakUp platform alongside misconduct reporting (SpeakUp Report), gifts and entertainment registers, and donations and sponsorship approvals. This gives compliance teams a unified view of ethical risk across the organization, from proactive disclosures to reactive investigations.
What reporting is available for conflict of interest disclosures?
SpeakUp provides analytics on disclosure volumes, approval rates, open declarations, and trends over time. Compliance teams can track patterns across entities, categories, and time periods and export data for board reporting or regulatory audits.
What regulations does SpeakUp support?
SpeakUp helps organizations comply with a wide range of regulations and directives, including the EU Whistleblowing Directive, GDPR, the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), DORA, NIS2, and sector-specific frameworks. The platform is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and undergoes quarterly ISAE 3000 Type II audits, providing the highest level of independent assurance in the market.
How quickly can SpeakUp be implemented?
Most organizations are live within days, not months. SpeakUp is recognized by G2 as a leader in fastest implementation and go-live time for whistleblowing, disclosures, and HR case management software. The platform requires no technical expertise to configure: compliance teams can set up branded intake forms, custom workflows, and routing rules themselves.
That being said, our Customer Success team is always available for implementation support and to answer any questions.
What makes SpeakUp different from other compliance platforms?
Four things set SpeakUp apart. First, over 20 years of operational experience, making it one of the longest-established platforms in the market. Second, the highest reporter check-back rates in the industry (49% average), which means more actionable cases and better outcomes. Third, quarterly ISAE 3000 Type II audits, a level of ongoing assurance that goes far beyond standard annual ISO certifications. Fourth, useful AI. Our platform has AI integrated into it, not just bolted on, meaning that you can focus on the important things in your work.
