CRS Report: Entering the Executive Branch of Government: Potential Conflicts of Interest With Previous Employments and Affiliations
“Ethics and conflict of interest concerns have been expressed about the impartiality, bias, or fairness of government regulators, administrators, and other executive branch decision makers who, shortly before entering government service, had represented, owned, or were employed by industries, firms, or other entities that they must now regulate and oversee. Federal conflict of interest law and regulation, for the most part, deal with the potential influence of existing and current financial assets, properties, arrangements, and relationships of the federal official. While the laws and regulations focus primarily on current economic and financial interests of a government official and those closely associated with the official, there are some limited conflict of interest regulations and ethics standards which look also to previous employment and past associations of those entering federal service.”
