MANIFESTATION OF CORRUPTION RISKS IN THE ACTIVITY OF PUBLIC SERVICE

Abstract

Nowadays in the formulation of anti-corruption policy international organizations and governments of many countries are paying increasing attention to the possible approaches to the assessment of corruption risks. Risk assessment is often presented as one of the most effective preventive mechanisms to counter corruption, and as a way to ensure the compliance of developed anticorruption measures to real corruption schemes in the country. However, there is no single methodology for a systematic assessment of corruption risks. Foreign experience in the fight against corruption demonstrates the need to identify potential "corruption-factors", the definition of government functions that are mostly at risk of corruption in a particular public authority. Carrying out such an analysis of corruption risks is necessary for the further development of anti-corruption legislation, establishment and implementation of the relevant anti-corruption strategy. The article notes that the study of approaches to risk assessment, development and implementation of the assessment methodology in recent years are of particular relevance in Russia.
