CERTIFYING PERIOD:
UTS 110, Financial Disclosure and Conflict of Interest Statement: It is the policy of the State of Texas and The
University of Texas System that employees may not have a direct or indirect interest, financial or otherwise, in a
corporation or business, engage in a professional activity, or incur an obligation of any nature that is in substantial
conflict with or might reasonably tend to influence the discharge of the employee’s official duties.
This policy implements the State’s conflict of interest policy by providing a transparent process for disclosing
relationships with business entities, corporations, and donors. The information provided in the financial disclosure
statement is for the purpose of assuring compliance with State ethics laws and with the Regents’ Rules and
Regulations.
Filing Requirements – Who Must File
Each Vice President will require that all Account Managers file the financial disclosure and conflict of interest
statement, as well as, those employees who
 exercise discretion with regard to the award of contracts or other monetary transactions, or whose job duties
include making a recommendation that is considered by the final decision maker in the decision to award
the contract.
Filing Deadline and Where the Statement is filed
Each Account Manager and identified employee must file the financial disclosure statement with their respective
Vice President no later than April 1 of each year. Newly-hired employees must file this statement not later than the
45th day after the first day of employment. The Vice President must review, sign and file the statements for future
Internal Audit or Compliance review and submit this certification to the Office of the President by April 30th each
year.
I certify, based on the limits of my knowledge and authority, that all employees under my division who are
responsible for preparing and submitting a financial disclosure statement, as stated above, have done so. I also
certify that all filed statements have been reviewed, approved and kept in appropriate files.
