Whats the difference between the criminal rule and the regulatory rule?
Aside from the obvious difference in penalties (a violation of the regulatory rule is not a crime), the impartiality rule has two significant differences from the criminal conflict of interest statute: first, it applies to fewer types of matters, and second, it holds you responsible for the financial interests of a greater number of people. It doesn’t apply to all matters, just “a particular matter involving specific parties,” such as a contract, grant, or agreement–in other words, a transaction of some kind. A program is not a particular matter involving specific parties (although the contracts that support the program are).
