Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth

Q: What is the SALN?A: SALN stands for Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth. It is the form used to enforce the asset disclosure system of the government. The SALN also requires the disclosure by a Government employee of Business Interests and Financial Connections, and identification of Relatives in the Government Service.

Q: What is the basis for the SALN?A: The governing law is Republic Act No. 6713, otherwise known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.

Q: What is the importance of the SALN?A: The SALN is the badge of honor of the honest civil servant that must be accomplished with pride. It shows that an employee did not exploit his or her public office for illegal gain. On the other hand, it is a prosecutorial tool against those who misuse their office in order to enrich themselves.

Q: Who must accomplish the SALN?A: All public officials and employees, whether regular or under temporary status, are required to file the SALN, with the exception of the following:

Public officials serving in an honorary capacity, without credit or pay; Temporary laborers; and, Casual or temporary and contractual workers (those not in the plantilla of the
