Recommendations:
The Ethics Office should provide timely notifications to employees to ensure they are aware of their
obligations to meet required filing deadlines and training requirements. To support these efforts, the Ethics
Office should continue to track and notify individual filers of due dates, notify them if and when their
reports are overdue, and notify component management of delinquencies so that appropriate measures
may be taken to compel compliance. The Ethics Office should continue to conduct ethics training each
pay period for new employees and conduct ethics training sessions in person each calendar, provide online
training examples and review for the acquisition workforce ethics training and provide ethics training
to all financial disclosure report filers, and other filers upon request. Additionally, the Ethics Office should
work with component Ethics Offices to ensure they establish and implement policies and procedures over
their financial disclosure reporting program as required by Departmental policy.
