In recent years,the government has been trying tomanage the conflict of interest between public and non-public interests of its agents.Determining the provisions regarding the management of conflict of interest in regulations is the most important way to achieve this goal. For importance of this issue,an article has been dedicated to the issue of conflict of interest in the Central Bank Law1402.Despite the desirability of the purpose of this article and some of its provisions, such as the need to complete a conflict of interest worksheet, considering regulations to organize conflicts of interest in employment at the Central Bank,determining guarantees for the implementation of violations of rules, etc,there are disadvantages such as ambiguity in the concept of effective employees,confusion between the sum of jobs and conflicts of interest, and establishing an absolute ban on any type of cooperation without considering conflicts of interest, disregard for the use of specialized terms such as"job","position,"mandatory and non-mandatory"and ambiguity in the expressions that include them in the area of individuals covered by the article, the lack of appropriate enforcement guarantees regarding individuals' dishonesty in completing the worksheet, determining guarantees of heavy criminal enforcement instead of guarantees of proportionate administrative and disciplinary enforcement, the lack of continuous supervision and a strong, impartial supervisory body, and a long period of employment ban for individuals after the end of their service period at the bank in Article60 of the law.For optimal implementation and achieving the goal of managing conflicts of interest,the aforementioned article needs to be amended
