Promoting integrity in the public sector
In-depth research into corruption risks allows identifying potential points of manifestation of corruption in both the public and private sectors. The Law of Ukraine “On Prevention of Corruption” creates a legal framework for identifying, monitoring and eliminating such risks, defining the obligations of civil servants and public sector entities regarding transparency and integrity.
The study shows that corruption risks are also present in courts, law enforcement agencies and private companies. The analysis of these risks allows for the formulation of specific legislative proposals aimed at increasing transparency, strengthening control and developing effective monitoring.
Communication with authorities, particularly the Ministry of Justice in 2003–2004, demonstrated the effectiveness of working together on anti-corruption initiatives. The current study continues these approaches, adapting them to new realities and more complex relationships between the public and private sectors.

3. Are corruption risks only present in the public sector?
No. Corruption risks are also present in private companies, courts, and law enforcement agencies. Studying all areas allows for the development of comprehensive anti-corruption measures.

Analysis of corruption risks makes it possible to propose changes to laws aimed at increasing transparency, strengthening control, and developing effective monitoring in the public and private sectors.
