2023 Annual Ethics Training

Why Are We Here?

• This annual ethics training reinforces your basic knowledge about core ethical obligations: financial conflicts of interest, an appearance of loss of impartiality, misuse of position, impermissible gifts, outside activity requirements, and the ethics rules as they apply to social media use.
• Detailed information about these and other ethics topics can be accessed using the links available at the end of this training.
• Your component's Deputy Ethics Counselor (DEC) or Ethics Coordinator (EC) can help you resolve any potential ethics problems. Their contact information can be found online at HHS Deputy Ethics Counselors and Ethics Coordinators.
• Please do not hesitate to contact them. For your own peace of mind, and the public's trust in government action, the best policy is to ask before taking action.
