Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $2,735,000; listed items add up to $2,911,300

Reported net worth: $2,735,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $2,911,300. Net worth roughly equals the listed assets before debts — the debts may not have been subtracted. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

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

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Missing or incomplete

$89,097 of assets itemized in an attachment on page 5; $89,097 of it isn't found there

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (page 5). Edward Jones: See attached — $89,097: no matching amount found on the attachment. An entry with no matching amount may be on a page that isn't in this copy, or the attachment may total it differently (or OCR misread it) — compare the page with the form.

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.
  • Compare the unmatched entries with the attachment, and with the filer's annual filing.

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.

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $2,735,000 — a millionaire on paper

What to check
  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.
