In 2024, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) received more than 64.4 thousand reports of cases of failure to submit or late submission of declarations by persons authorized to perform state or local government functions, and, based on the results of reviewing such reports, sent more than 22.4 thousand notifications to declarants.
Also, 63 protocols on administrative offenses related to corruption (parts 1, 2 of Article 172-6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) were drawn up, materials were sent to the National Police regarding more than 4.7 thousand declarants to draw up protocols on administrative offenses for late submission of declarations, 69 substantiated conclusions on the detection of signs of criminal offenses under Article 366-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on the facts of intentional failure to submit declarations were approved and sent.
"Declaration is one of the most effective tools for preventing corruption in the public sector. Thanks to it, every citizen can learn about the wealth of civil servants, and the NACP controls the compliance of their expenses with their legal income. At the same time, failure to submit or late submission of a declaration is an offense that can negatively affect the reputation of an official,” said Oleksandr Ampleiev, Head of the Department for Special Inspections and Control over Timely Submission of Declarations.
According to the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention of Corruption,” each organization must have an anti-corruption commissioner who, among other things, controls the submission of declarations. If he or she identifies cases of failure to submit or late submission of declarations, he or she reports them to the NACP.
Failure to submit a declaration without valid reasons is subject to administrative liability in the form of a fine of 50 to 100 tax-free minimum incomes. Instead, failure to report or untimely reporting of significant changes in property status is punishable by a fine of 100 to 200 tax-free minimum incomes.
Information about persons who have been brought to justice for committing corruption or corruption-related offenses is entered into the Unified State Register of Persons Who Have Committed Corruption or Corruption-Related Offenses.
Last year, 3,724 entries were made to the Unified State Register of Persons Who Committed Corruption-Related Offenses based on court decisions (compared to 2,912 entries in 2023).
