A Final Word

And now...a final word from the Director of OGE:

"I hope this course helped to give you an introduction to many of the most common ethics issues that you might encounter when you work with employees of contractors. It's important to communicate with your ethics officials if you have questions. When you do, you help your agency determine whether you have any potential conflicts of interest. Resolving any conflicts will ensure that our work is conducted with the highest ethical standards.

When we follow high ethical standards, we improve public confidence in our work. So we must make every effort not only to comply with all the ethics rules, but also to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

Working together, we can ensure that the Government's business is conducted with impartiality and integrity."

Robert I.Cusick, Director

U.S. Office of Government Ethics
