“The updated Guide contains OGE’s most current and comprehensive guidance on public financial disclosure requirements for filers in the executive branch, including the best way to disclose specific financial interests. The Guide also includes revised information regarding how to manage a public financial disclosure program for agency ethics officials,” says a legal advisory announcing the update.
