Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($4,095) instead of what's in them

The instructions say the investments held in a brokerage account or IRA are the assets to report — not the account itself. As listed, the public can't see what the filer is invested in.

What to check
  • Which companies or funds are in these accounts? Holdings matter for conflicts of interest.

Rule: Accounts listed instead of investments
“Note that the product contained in a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan, is your asset”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

“IRA” ($4,095) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth -$221,790; listed items add up to -$211,790

Reported net worth: -$221,790. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = -$211,790. They roughly agree.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

Context Income & business ties

73% of listed income ($80,574) comes from Salmon & Dulberg, P.A.

Listed income totals $110,184 from 6 sources. The largest is classed as other / unclassified.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Rule: Where the money comes from
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2024 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties
