Deadline to file Kansas 2013 Statements of Substantial Interest is April 30
Submitted by Susana L. Valdovinos
Dear Faculty and Staff,
The Governmental Ethics Commission has mailed notices to the home addresses of all employees who must file a 2013 Statement of Substantial Interest, or SSI, with the Kansas secretary of state’s Governmental Ethics Commission. The deadline to file is April 30.
The statement is required by Kansas statute and is filed directly with the Governmental Ethics Commission upon appointment and annually in April. It may be conveniently accessed and completed at http://www.kssos.org/elections/ssi_online.asp.
Please remember that the Statement of Substantial Interest is different from the Conflict of Interest and Conflict Time Commitment form that is filed online internally later in the spring. Both reports are due every year and both reports are required.
You will need to file the required Conflict of Interest and Time Commitment form with the university when you receive your contract for next year.
Any questions about the Statement of Substantial Interest should be addressed to Kelley Cochran of the Governmental Ethics Commission by emailing auditor1@ethics.ks.gov or calling 785-296-4219.
Thank you,
Susana Valdovinos
Director, Academic Personnel
