Q & A

I am an accountant in the finance department of my company. Due to my artistic skills,
I received an offer to pen cartoons for a children’s publication for which I would receive
compensation. I plan to undertake this activity during week-ends. What should I do before
accepting this offer?

Before accepting the offer, you should ascertain whether the company policies and rules require
you to make a disclosure to your supervisor so that the company may determine whether your
undertaking this activity adversely affects our company’s interests. On confirmation from the
company that it does not do so, you would be free to take up the activity. It is also your duty to bring
to the attention of the company whenever there is any change in the situation you have disclosed.
