The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption has approved changes to the procedure for conducting a full check of declarations of persons authorized to perform the functions of the state or local self-government. This is notified on the official website of NAZK.
Reviewed approaches to defining the terms “unreliable” and “inaccurate” data. The criteria for the amount of information in the declaration that do not correspond to reality have been unified in terms of “unreliable information in the declaration”. and “inaccurate information in the declaration” defined in the order. The limits of unreliable information, for which administrative or criminal liability is provided, are also clearly established.
From now on, the information in the declaration that differs from the reliable one by an amount exceeding 150 subsistence minimums (PM) for able-bodied persons established on the date of submission of the declaration, and/or information that does not make it possible to identify a family member of the subject of the declaration or the object of the declaration, will be recognized as unreliable. Information that differs by an amount that does not exceed 150 PM is considered inaccurate.
NAZK emphasizes that after the entry into force of the Law of Ukraine dated June 17, 2025 on amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, the liability thresholds have been increased: for administrative liability — from 100 to 150 PM, for criminal — from 500 to 750 PM.
The agency also improved the full inspection procedure itself, focusing on the declarant’s right to provide explanations during the inspection, and defined additional grounds for stopping or terminating the inspection. From now on, the full verification of declarations submitted by persons who are conscripted into military service during mobilization, including reservists or under contract during a special period (except for persons specified in clauses 1-3 of part 7 of Article 45 of the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention of Corruption”), is stopped until the termination of such circumstances or the cancellation of martial law.
“ Among the reasons for stopping the inspection without confirming the results – a record of the declarant’s death in the State Register of Civil Status Acts of Citizens and the presence of information about the person in the Unified Register of Persons Disappeared Under Special Circumstances, the message says.
An extrajudicial mechanism to protect the rights of declarants has also been introduced. The procedure is supplemented by provisions on recognition of a declaration, in respect of which a full check has been carried out, as one that has not been checked.
“If a person whose declaration has been fully verified believes that he was not obliged to submit such a declaration, or, in his opinion, the declaration is not subject to full verification for other reasons, he can submit a corresponding application to the NAKC (in paper or electronic form), attaching supporting documents (their copies)”, – informs the agency.
The application is considered within 30 calendar days. In the case of satisfaction, the certificate on the results of a full inspection is removed from the official website of the NAZK, which will mean that the declaration is recognized as not inspected, and the reasoned conclusion about the established signs of violation is withdrawn. In case of refusal, the applicant will receive a notification.
In addition, a rule was added to the order that the certificate on the results of a full verification of the declaration, removed from the public part of the Register of Declarations, is not subject to publication on the official website of the NACP during the period of its removal.
