Alabama Statement of Economic Interests due for certain employees

The Alabama Ethics Law requires that public employees at an annual salary level of $97,000 or more or having any supervisory role (regardless of salary level) in the prior year, file an annual Statement of Economic Interests, or SEI, with the Commission by April 30.

University employees to which this requirement applies received an email from the AU Division of Institutional Compliance & Privacy in February notifying them that they must complete the form, along with a link to the online form and instructions, which are available here.

If you meet the requirements to file an SEI and have not done so, you must do so as soon as possible to avoid any potential sanctions. The Commission may impose fines of $100 per day up to $1,000 for delinquent responses or for failure to file, or may charge the non-respondent with a class A misdemeanor.

Please note, the SEI form is separate from Auburn University’s annual conflict of interest/commitment disclosure which is required for all full-time employees and occurs in the fall. The information requested in the SEI form is different and is mandated by state law.

For questions or concerns regarding the requirement to complete the form, contact the AU Division of Institutional Compliance & Privacy at oacp@auburn.edu. If you have specific questions about the SEI form, please contact the Alabama Ethics Commission at sei@ethics.alabama.gov or (334) 242-2997.
