The Financial Disclosure Statement must be filed annually by which date?

• A. April 30
• B. January 31
• C. June 15
• D. December 31

Answer: (A)

Disclosures are filed annually to keep asset information and potential conflicts of interest current for oversight and accountability. The deadline of April 30 provides about four months after December 31 to gather, verify, and review the data before the next reporting cycle begins. This timing helps ensure the information is complete and ready for review without lingering into the next year.

January 31 is too soon after year-end for proper collection and verification. June 15 comes too late in the year to support timely oversight. December 31 would occur right at year-end, offering little or no time to process and finalize the filing.
