Institute for Ethics in Government

Part 1

Part 2

Each year, ethics officials and other reviewers in the executive branch review and certify more than 300,000 confidential financial disclosure reports (OGE Form 450s) to prevent conflicts of interest and other ethics concerns. In this two-part series, Institute for Ethics in Government instructors provide viewers an opportunity to practice their review skills through the review of a hypothetical OGE Form 450.

In Part 1, instructors introduce the exercise and orient viewers to the resources they will need to complete the exercise.

In Part 2, they debrief the hypothetical OGE Form 450 exercise, discussing conflicts of interest and other substantive ethics issues, as well as technical disclosure requirements.

If new to the OGE Form 450 review process, view Parts 2 and 3 of the training, Confidential Financial Disclosure: An Introduction to the System, the Form, and the Review Process.
