The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) provides overall leadership and oversight of the executive branch ethics program designed to prevent and resolve conflicts of interest. OGE’s mission is part of the very foundation of public service. To carry out its mission, OGE:

  • promulgates and maintains enforceable standards of ethical conduct for approximately 2.7 million employees in over 130 executive branch agencies and the White House;
  • oversees a financial disclosure system that reaches more than 26,000 public and more than 380,000 confidential financial disclosure report filers;
  • ensures that executive branch agency ethics programs are in compliance with applicable ethics laws and regulations;
  • provides education and training to more than 4,500 ethics officials executive branch-wide;
  • conducts outreach to the general public, the private sector, and civil society; and
  • provides technical assistance to state, local, and foreign governments and international organizations.
