Accountable government starts here

Clean government starts with transparent government. The Ethics Commission’s public disclosure tools empower you to hold City officials accountable.

English

San Franciscans deserve to be confident that the operations of the City and County and the decisions its officials make are fair, just, and made without any regard to private or personal gain. Accountable government starts with public disclosure filings that help officials detect and avoid possible conflicts of interests.

City officials and designated employees of the City & County of San Francisco are required to disclose personal assets, income, and gifts that pose a potential conflict of interest when participating in government decisions. In addition, officials and employees – including members of City Boards and Commissions – are subject to state and local laws requiring ethics and sunshine training.

To promote transparency about interests that seek to influence City decision makers, City laws also require regular public disclosure reporting by lobbyists, campaign consultants, major developers, and permit consultants.

These disclosures are available for public review on the Ethics Commission’s web site.  Follow the links below to use the Ethics Commission’s tools to view and search disclosed information.

All disclosure filers should make sure their required disclosures are complete, accurate, and timely by reviewing the Ethics Commission’s online compliance resources or contacting Ethics Commission staff for guidance and advice.

Holding public officials accountable requires all of us to play a part.  If you suspect a violation of the City’s ethics, campaign finance, or lobbyist laws have occurred, we encourage you to file a complaint with the Ethics Commission. All complaints are treated confidentially. If you are unsure if the Ethics Commission is the appropriate agency to file your complaint, speak to an investigator by calling 415-252-3100.

City law also provides protection against whistleblower retaliation for City officers, employees, contractors, and employees of contractors for engaging in protected whistleblower activity. If you suspect that you have been retaliated against for reporting improper government activity we urge you to contact the Ethics Commission.
