Federal ethics refers to the principles and standards that guide the conduct of government employees and officials in the United States. These guidelines aim to ensure integrity, transparency, and accountability in public service. They help prevent conflicts of interest and promote ethical decision-making in federal agencies. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) is responsible for overseeing these ethical standards. It provides training, resources, and regulations to help federal employees understand their responsibilities. By adhering to these ethics, officials can maintain public trust and uphold the values of democracy and good governance.
