About the Board
The Conflicts of Interest Board is an independent body whose five members are appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City Council.

The Board's responsibility and purpose is to foster trust in City government through the administration of the conflicts of interest law, contained in Chapter 68 of the NYC Charter. The law is a basic ethics code for all public servants in the City. The Board is also responsible for the enforcement of the Financial Disclosure Law, Section 12-110 of the NYC Administrative Code, and the Lobbyist Gift Law, Section 2607 of the Charter.

A staff of 21, divided into four units (plus MIS and Administration), tends to the Board's day-to-day business. The Four Substantive Units are: Training and Education, Legal Advice, Enforcement, and Financial Disclosure.

The Conflicts of Interest Board views as its primary purpose the prevention of unethical conduct by City officers, employees, and elected officials. Whether giving oral or written advice about the City's ethics law, teaching public servants what that law requires of them, administering the City's financial disclosure requirements, or prosecuting and fining public servants for violation of these rules, in all of its actions, the Board focuses its efforts, first and foremost, upon prevention.

Working for the COIB affords an opportunity to contribute substantially to the integrity of City government.

The Board is conveniently located at 2 Lafayette Street, Suite 1010, in the City Hall Area. Our phone number is (212) 442-1400.
