The Office of Government Ethics seeks to prevent conflicts of interest on the part of Government employees, and to resolve those conflicts of interest that do occur. Under recent changes to the Presidential Transitions Act, the Office of Government Ethics is required to recommend to the Governmental Affairs Committee ways of " streamlining, standardizing, and coordinating the financial disclosure process" and "avoiding duplication of effort and reducing the burden of filing with respect to financial disclosure of information to the White House Office, the Office of Government Ethics, and the Senate." For more information about the activities of the Office of Government Ethics, please visit their website at www.usoge.gov.
