There is an important distinction to make between disclosed interests, and the presence of COI. Expert advisory panelists providing advice to PHAC or otherwise developing guidance (e.g., clinical practice guidelines) may have a wide variety of affiliations and interests. As noted by the World Health Organization, "''The declaration of one or more secondary interests (declaration of interests) does not automatically mean that a conflict of interest is present: there is a distinction between the two. A transparent and objective process for assessing a declaration of interests is required to determine if a conflict exists and what its effects might be, and to manage any significant conflict of interest."''<ref>World Health Organization.

Available from: <nowiki>https://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/en/m/abstract/Js22083en/</nowiki></ref> Figure 1 provides an overview of the link between disclosures of interests, and the identification and management of COI.
