Deadline for public officers to declare assets ends today

Until today finish the deadline set by General comptroller (CGR) to 19.650 government officials for submitting a sworn statement of assets.

Starting this year, there will only be accepted digital statements, not longer on paper.

The new on-line system processes up to 400 statements per day on average and also security has been strengthened. After the public official fills in all blanks and requirements and closes the system the comptroller’s office registers the statement as received and accepted.

If necessary, the CGR will require to the officer to present additional information that might be requested on paper if the one provided is incomplete.
