FMCS employees provide conflict management services across federal, public, and private sectors. FMCS employees are entrusted with sensitive, non-public information. FMCS employees file financial disclosure reports disclosing financial interests to prevent conflicts of interest and to identify potential conflicts. This ensures compliance with 18 U.S.C. 208 and 5 C.F.R. 2635, et seq. FMCS ethics officials regularly review job duties to ensure appropriate employees are required to file financial disclosure reports.
FMCS has instituted a rigorous ethics program including drafting and adopting a supplemental regulation that governs employee participation in activities and employment opportunities outside the government.
FMCS does not have an internal Office of Inspector General. To ensure FMCS employees have all available reporting avenues for fraud, waste, and abuse, FMCS entered into an interagency agreement with another agency with a robust Office of the Inspector General staff and expertise. FMCS employees have access and mandates to report any and all suspected wrongdoing to an inspector general via phone or email.
FMCS undergoes an annual financial audit conducted by a third party. These audits have consistently returned clean audits.
