Message from
Clerk Bock

Sharon R. BockAs Clerk & Comptroller of Palm Beach County, I am committed to protecting public records and public funds, while safeguarding the standards of ethics and integrity in our community.

Our Ethics Hotline is one weapon in our ongoing fight against fraud, waste, abuse and ethical misconduct. It currently allows our frontline of defense ‑ my office’s 700 employees ‑ to report issues anonymously, if they choose. While regular audits and strict internal controls are built into how we do business, research shows that anonymous tips are another effective means for identifying opportunities for improvement.

At the Clerk & Comptroller’s office, we have an organization-wide commitment to shining the light on ethics.

Sharon Bock, Esq.
Clerk & Comptroller
