Ethics Commission

Governmental Ethics
Priority Outcome: Make Los Angeles the best run big city in America
This program shapes, administers, and enforces laws regarding governmental ethics, conflicts of interests,
campaign financing, and lobbying. For each program area, the Ethics Commission is required by law to
process public disclosure filings, provide advice and trainings, conduct audits, maintain a whistleblower
hotline, investigate and enforce against violations, and analyze and make policy recommendations regarding
the laws. The Ethics Commission also administers a matching funds program, which provides limited public
financing to qualified candidates for elected office.
