R.A. 6713: SALN, Divestment and Penalties
Who files the SALN, when and where; who may see it; how fast an official must resign and divest; and the penalties for breaking R.A. 6713.
What it is
The SALN (Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth) is a sworn list of what an official owns and owes. It is filed together with a disclosure of business interests and financial connections. R.A. 6713 says who must file it, when, where, and who may see it (Sec. 8). It also says how an official must get rid of a conflict of interest by resigning and divesting (Sec. 9), and what penalties apply to violations (Sec. 11).
Why it matters on the exam
Exam items on this part are mostly about numbers and places: 30 days, April 30, 10 working days, 10 years, 30 and 60 days, six months, one year, five years, P5,000. The traps are nearby numbers (April 15, 15 days) and the wrong office. A clear table for each makes these items quick points.
At work, every government employee except a few groups files a SALN every year, so this is practical knowledge too.
- On or before April 30 of the next year
- Within 30 days after his separation from service
- Within 60 days after his separation from service
- He no longer needs to file because he left
- On or before April 15 of the next year
