Don’t be a victim! If you
are a public official, part of a GOCC, or a candidate running for public
office, take your Statement of Assets, abilities and Networth (SALN)
seriously and invest in preparing it correctly.
Graft and corruption cases are filed against many public
officials and government employees due to their erroneous SALN. More than 70%
of them do not take to heart the preparation and filing of their SALNs. You
should. A president was ousted in office
while another one is on trial. Chief justice impeached. Senate president out on
bail, senators in jail, congressmen and other public officials with cases in
the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan – all accused of graft and unexplained
wealth with their questionable Statement of Assets Liabilities and Networth
(SALN).
This has caused the freezing and forfeiture of their assets, downfall
of leaders with their impeachment/ conviction and removal from office while
others are in jail awaiting completion of their trial with their reputation
sullied and destroyed. Many of them rely on their accountants or even
secretaries to prepare it. Many are not skilled to prepare it.
With the clamour of many public official
to help them on this, the Center for Global Best Practices is launching a
pioneering seminar entitled, "Best Practices in the Preparation, Defensesand Remedies of SALN ", scheduled on
Friday, June 24, 2016 at The EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City,
