Nicole, At Cornell, we ask the same question upon hiring, but I'm not sure how much good it does us, for the reasons you mention.
We also require certain individuals (faculty, mostly, but also certain staff members) to disclose any real or potential conflicts, including familial ones, through an online application, so that each can be dealt with. We built the application in-house, but I'm sure you could find a proprietary one.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nicole Goodman Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2016 1:03 PM To: ACUPA-L <[email protected]> Subject: [acupa-l] conflict of interest monitoring I was wondering if any of your institutions have a process of maintaining information on disclosed relationships. We ask the question "do you have any family employed by Western?" upon hire to avoid supervisory conflicts but we need a better way of having that information for when, for example budget authority is established which can be much later following hire.
