Register of Interests

It is a requirement under University Ordinance VIII and the Financial Regulations, that all University Staff on Grade 6 or above must declare any personal interests that might be reasonably deemed to compromise impartiality, conflict with duty as an employee or potentially result in a conflict of interests leading to private benefit.

All staff must complete an annual return and update it if their circumstances change. Staff with no interests to declare must submit a ‘nil’ return. 

Please ensure that you submit a return for the 2023/24 academic year as soon as possible using the online system. 

Unfortunately, the online system is currently only available on campus and when logged into the Global Protect VPN.  Any issues in logging into the VPN should be directed to the IT Helpline.  Any other issues or queries can be directed to ROI@manchester.ac.uk. 

An updated Register of Interest system is being developed as part of the SharePoint Migration project and will hopefully be launched for the 2024/25 academic year.  Please use the current system until otherwise notified.

How to complete and submit your Register of Interests form:

To access the online system whilst on campus, please go to the url:

https://rm.manchester.ac.uk/sites/ROI/Pages/YourForms.aspx

To submit a ‘nil’ return from a computer on the University network should take only four mouse clicks.  

1. Click on the online system
   
2. Click on the date of the Current Return.
3. Click on ‘No, I wish to file a Nil Return’.
4. Click on ‘Submit Return’. 

To submit an interest:

1. Click on the online system
2. Click on the date of the Current Return.
3. Click on ‘Yes I have interests I wish to declare’
4. Add the relevant information in the box displayed.
5. Click on ‘Add new interest’ to add any additional interests.
6. Once you have entered all the information, click on ‘Submit Return’.

Any interests declared can be retrieved and edited at any time.

When logging into the Register of Interests to update an entry, some browsers may direct users to a page where, despite it saying “click on the ‘Date Return Filed’ link for your last return on the right”, this link is not visible. In such cases, please click instead on “Your Forms” in the left hand column, which should direct you to the correct page.
