How many days after assuming office must the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth be filed?

The correct timeframe for filing the Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) after assuming office is 30 days. This requirement is established under R.A. No. 6713, which aims to promote transparency and accountability among public officials and employees. The 30-day period allows for a timely declaration of one’s financial interests and ensures that the public can access this important information quickly. This promotes ethical behavior and helps prevent conflicts of interest, reinforcing the principle that public trust hinges on the financial conduct of its officials. The designated timeframe is crucial for maintaining the integrity of public service and ensuring that officials are held accountable from the onset of their responsibilities.
