On March 26, 2014, OGE's Director, Walter M. Shaub, Jr. met with Chairman Sungbo Lee of Korea's Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC). Director Shaub and Chairman Lee had a wide-ranging discussion about the similarities and differences between the respective agencies' programs, laws, and regulations, including elements related to gift rules, financial conflicts of interest, and post-employment restrictions. As Director Shaub pointed out, "Meetings like these provide perspective on how OGE approaches its own ethics program. OGE benefits when we take a moment to consider how our overseas counterparts handle challenges similar to those that OGE faces. We learn by hearing about the things they do well."
