What is the deadline for filing the annual Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth each year?

The annual filing of the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) is due on April 30 of each year, as stipulated by R.A. No. 6713, which emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability among public officials and employees. This specific deadline ensures that public officials report their financial status annually, providing a snapshot of their wealth and any changes therein over the course of the year.

By requiring the submission of the SALN by April 30, the law aims to encourage timely disclosures that safeguard public trust and integrity in government service. This aligns with the overarching goal of the Code of Conduct to promote transparency and deter corruption. Understanding this deadline is crucial for anyone working within the public sector, as it directly impacts both personal compliance and the public's perception of government accountability.
