Nominee Financial Disclosure Review During Presidential Transitions

Navigating the financial disclosure process is a crucial yet complex part of presidential transitions. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) plays a key role in reviewing nominee reports to ensure transparency and prevent conflicts of interest. In the 2024 transition, 26 reports were received before Inauguration Day, with the majority of reviews occurring post-inauguration. As financial interests grow more intricate, the process requires careful scrutiny, multiple revisions, and coordination between nominees, agencies, and the Senate.
