Submission of the civil servant’s declaration to the NAZK

Welcome to the page of the website of our legal company "Prykhodko and Partners", dedicated to the important topic of submitting a public servant's declaration to the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NACP).

What are the declarations of a civil servant to NAZK?

Declarations of civil servants to the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) are a key tool in the system of openness and transparency in the management of public resources in Ukraine. These declarations are formal reports that civil servants are required to submit regularly, detailing their financial and other significant interests.

Declarations are intended to reflect the financial status, property and non-property assets, income and liabilities of the civil servant, as well as other important data that may indicate possible conflicts of interest or potential risks of corruption. This control mechanism helps to ensure openness and transparency in the work of state structures, and also helps to identify and prevent possible corrupt practices among senior officials.

We would like to emphasize that declarations of civil servants to the NAKC not only determine the personal financial status of the official, but are also an important tool for ensuring high standards of ethics, responsibility and trust in the public administration system. The submission of comprehensive and reliable declarations is determined not only by legislative requirements, but also contributes to the maintenance of democratic values and the development of an open society.

When and how to submit such a declaration in Ukraine?

The procedure for submitting a civil servant's declaration to the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) in Ukraine is mandatory and has clearly defined terms and conditions. Below is key information regarding when and how to file returns:

Submission deadlines

• Civil servants must submit their declarations annually. The exact filing period is defined by law and usually covers the calendar year ending on December 31. Declarations must be submitted by March 31 of the following year.

Method of submission

• Declarations are submitted electronically through the official web portal of the NAZK. The web portal system provides convenient and secure tools for filling out the electronic declaration form, as well as uploading the necessary documents and information. Before that, employees must ensure the completeness and reliability of the provided information, meeting all the requirements of the law.

Preparation and important aspects

• In order to successfully submit the declaration, the employee must start preparing for the process in a timely manner by collecting all the necessary financial and other documents. It is also important to consider changes in legislation and declaration instructions to avoid possible errors.

What will happen if you make mistakes?

Providing inaccurate or incomplete information in a public servant's declaration can have serious consequences, as this document is important for determining financial integrity and conflicts of interest. Possible consequences of errors in the declaration are considered below:

• Fines and penalties. Incorrect or incomplete information in the declaration can lead to the occurrence of offenses, which can lead to the imposition of fines. NAKC has the authority to impose fines on civil servants for violation of declaration requirements.
• Loss of trust. Misdeclaration can lead to loss of trust both from the public and from colleagues and senior managers. This may affect the professional status and reputation of the civil servant.
• Criminal liability. In case of detection of intentional inclusion of false information or concealment of facts, the civil servant may become the object of criminal prosecution. Criminal liability may arise in case of serious violations, such as bribery or money laundering, revealed as a result of inspections.
• Refutation of the declaration. NAZK has the right to refuse to accept the declaration if it contains significant violations. Doing so may lead to additional checks and investigations, as well as the risk of removal from office or suspension from public service.
• Consequences for career. Errors in the declaration can have far-reaching consequences for further career development. A civil servant may become unfit for certain positions or lose the possibility of competitive selection.
