OCC Ethics Guidance for New Hires

Welcome to the OCC! You are joining a great organization, and we look forward to welcoming you as a colleague. As an OCC employee, you will be expected to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct and to complete certain ethics requirements within your first weeks on the job. These new hire ethics requirements include the following:

• If the vacancy announcement for your position included a financial disclosure notice, you must submit a financial disclosure report within your first weeks on the job and on annual basis thereafter. (Most employees, including all examiners and all attorneys, are required to file a financial disclosure report.) Please review the OCC financial disclosure form (PDF), provided here for reference only, to identify the information you must collect now to be able to submit during your first week at the OCC.
• After you join the OCC, you must complete an online ethics orientation module, which is available in the Integrated Talent Management (ITM). You will receive an ITM password once you are on board.

Below are resources to help you become familiar with the ethics standards that will apply to you once you join the OCC.
