Anti-corruption Compliance

An important role in the fight against corruption and fraud is played by an anti-corruption audit, which constantly monitors compliance with anti-corruption restrictions, as well as the implementation of anti-corruption measures in a company, government or local government. 

Anti-corruption audit is a professional activity aimed at checking compliance with the requirements of national legislation (Law of Ukraine «On the Prevention of Corruption» as of 14.10.2014 No. 1700-VII), regulatory acts and standards of other countries related to the fight against corruption (US Law «On Foreign Corruption», the UK Anti-Bribery Act), as well as ethical standards.

 

The goals and objectives of the anti-corruption audit

The main goals and objectives of the anti-corruption audit include:

checking of the company’s compliance with anti-corruption laws and anti-corruption policies;
checking and evaluation of the anti-corruption system in the company (anti-corruption program);
research and analysis of unusual financial transactions;
evaluation and analysis of hospitality expenses regarding their validity.

During the assignment, the anti-corruption auditor performs the following actions:

conducts an unscheduled inventory of company assets;

selectively verifies the activities of certain company officials;

Anti-corruption audit in companies is an effective tool against corruption and corporate fraud. It helps to reduce the negative trends caused by the actions of company officials related to abuse of authority.

 

Anti-corruption programs
