Everyelected official and public employee who makes or influences governmentaldecisions is required to submit a Statement of Economic Interest, also known asthe Form 700. The Form 700 provides transparency and ensures accountability intwo ways:
- It provides necessary information to the public about an official’s personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interest of the public and not enhancing their personal finances.
- It serves as a reminder to the public official of potential conflicts of interest so the official can abstain from making or participating in governmental decisions that are deemed conflicts of interest.
Filing a Form 700
TheFPPC is available to answer any questions you may have on Form 700 reporting orfiling. However, in order to better assist you, you should obtain your “disclosurecategory.” A disclosure category is a description of the types of financialinterests you must disclose on your Form 700 based on your job classificationor position. Each agency defines its own disclosure categories for eachposition based on the type and scope of work performed.
Toobtain a copy of your disclosure category, check with a supervisor or otherdesignated staff in your agency’s legal or personnel department.
