Financial Disclosure
This is a reporting requirement for employees
who serve in certain positions or who are in certain pay rates
within the Executive branch of Government. Generally, these
positions have been identified for coverage by the financial
disclosure requirements because they carry decisionmaking
and/or policymaking responsibilities. The positions may also
be designated automatically by law. Employee financial
disclosure reports are tools used by the agency's ethics
personnel to determine whether the filer is in compliance with
the Government's conflict of interest laws and regulations.
Generally, the financial disclosure reporting requirement
is completing a form that requires a disclosure of the
employee's assets, liabilities, business associations,
arrangements and gifts. Department of the Interior employees
will either complete the SF-278 or the OGE
Form 450. |
