REPORT BY THE                                                   LM110150



Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES





The District Of Columbia

Government Should Establish

A Separate Office Of Ethics



The financial disclosure systems for District
of Columbia Government employees are
administered by two offices--the District
Board of Elections and Ethics and the District
Personnel Office. However, their administra-
tion and enforcement of these systems have
been minimal due to higher priorities and
understaffing.

Under the Board's system the financial dis-
closure statements are not reviewed for
conflicts of interest, and until recently many
employees were required to file disclosure
statements with the Board and with their
department.

Recent legislation may remedy some but not
all of the deficiencies.

GAO recommends that the District consoli-
date responsibility for administering and
enforcing the systems in a separate Office of
Ethics to more effectively prevent conflicts of
interest.
