The US Office of Government Ethics (OGE) fights conflicts of interest. Established in 1978, the OGE mediates potential conflicts of interest among government employees and develops ethical standards among various Executive Branch agencies. The office is split into five separate divisions: Office of the Director (overall direction); Office of International Assistance and Governance Initiatives (international ethics and anti-corruption programs); Office of General Counsel and Legal Policy (legal framework and ethics policy development); Office of Agency Programs (monitoring Executive Branch agency ethics programs); and Office of Administration and Information Management (supports all OGE operating programs).
