The results of the full verifications indicate that applying a risk-based approach to selecting declarations for full verification has positively impacted their effectiveness.

Important: the initiation of a full verification does not mean that the declarant has committed corruption or a corruption-related offence. If violations are established based on verification results, the NACP takes measures to bring the person to responsibility in accordance with the law.

If grounds exist, the materials are forwarded to pre-trial investigation bodies, as well as to SAPO to consider civil forfeiture of unjustified assets.
