PFD (Public) stands for "Public Financial Disclosure." It is a requirement for certain public officials and employees to report their financial interests, including income, assets, and liabilities. This transparency helps to prevent conflicts of interest and promotes accountability in government. The PFD is typically filed with a designated government agency, such as the Office of Government Ethics in the United States. The information is made available to the public, allowing citizens to review the financial dealings of their elected officials and ensure they are acting in the public's best interest.
