SUBJECT: Public Financial Disclosure Review Workshops
in Washington, DC - January 22 and Feb 4, 1998
The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) will conduct two
identical four-hour training workshops on Public Financial
Disclosure Review in Washington, DC on Thursday, January 22 and
Wednesday, February 4, 1998. These training workshops will focus
on the skills and knowledge required to review and analyze the
Executive Branch Public Financial Disclosure Report (SF 278) to
ensure technical accuracy, identify potential conflicts of interest
and determine appropriate remedial action. These are the same
highly praised workshops that OGE conducted last year.
This training is offered FREE to any Federal Government
agency; however, advance registration is required. Each person
planning to attend MUST register by faxing a completed registration
form to OGE by January 15, 1998. Registration will be handled on
a first-come basis and each class size will be limited to 40
participants. NO TELEPHONE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Registration forms are attached. Please fax registration forms to:
Sheila A. Powers
Training Coordinator
FAX Number: 202-208-8039 (or 8038)
OGE will confirm each person's registration by fax prior to
the date of the course. Due to the volume of registrations, we ask
that registrants NOT follow up on confirmations.
You are our primary means of advertising this training. Please
circulate the attached registration forms among your ethics
officials as soon as possible.
