Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 2 investment accounts ($48,089) 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”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $759,668; listed items add up to $809,668

Reported net worth: $759,668. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $809,668. The difference matches the household goods, which the filer may have left out of net worth. 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.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Missing or incomplete

$112,031 of assets itemized in an attachment on pages 5–6; $48,089 of it isn't found there

The form says “see attached” for 3 entries, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 5–6). Florida Deferred Compensation-Nationwide-See Attached — $63,942: matches “* May consist of divideras, fund FEM eee eine wie Ue $63,942.17” (page 6); UBS IRA accounts-See Attached — $39,200: no matching amount found on the attachment; Schwab Brokerage Account-See Attached — $8,889: 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.

Rule: Itemized in an attachment

Context Income & business ties

100% of listed income ($169,369) comes from State of Florida

Listed income totals $169,369 from 1 source. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

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”2022 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,200,000 (158% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check
  • Look the parcels up with the county property appraiser: land use (vacant or improved), assessed value and when they were bought.
  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.

Rule: Real estate holdings
“Real property: Identify by providing the street address of the property.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
