This register sets out declared interests for non-executive directors and executive members of the FCDO’s Supervisory and Management Boards.
Board members must declare real and potential conflicts of interest on appointment and any arising whilst they are board members. The register is published annually in line with the Corporate governance in central departments: code of good practice, and updated when needed. This list sets out the declared interests of executive and non-executive members of the FCDO board.
The Cabinet Office publishes lists of ministers’ interests and special advisers’ interests separately.
You can find out more about the FCDO’s corporate governance and assurance process on management of interests in our 2022 to 2023 annual report and accounts.
