Confidential Financial Disclosure
Certain executive branch employees are required to file confidential financial disclosure reports (OGE Form 450). Each agency determines who must file a confidential financial disclosure report, based on criteria established by OGE. Typically, employees who file confidential financial disclosure reports are those whose duties involve the exercise of discretion in sensitive areas such as contracting, procurement, administration of grants and licenses, and regulating or auditing non-Federal entities.
The purpose of the financial disclosure system is to prevent conflicts of interest and to identify potential conflicts by providing for a systematic review of the financial interests of both current and prospective employees. Reviewing officials within each agency certify and maintain these reports. If a reviewing official identifies a potential conflict of interest between a filer's official duties and the filer's private financial interests and affiliations, several remedies are available to avoid an actual or apparent violation of Federal ethics laws and regulations.
