Andriy Prikhodko took part from the people to update the Anti-Corruption Program of the DPS of Ukraine

As part of the implementation of the state anti-corruption policy and increasing institutional integrity, Andriy Prykhodko took part in a professional meeting on updating the Anti-Corruption Program of the State Tax Service.

During the meeting, a number of key issues were discussed aimed at improving mechanisms for preventing and combating corruption in the activities of tax authorities.

Main areas of discussion

• Development of effective mechanisms for influencing corruption risks

The main focus is on identifying and eliminating factors that create prerequisites for abuse. New approaches to internal control, e-governance and automation of processes are being discussed, which will minimize the human factor.

• Identification of the most vulnerable areas of the State Tax Service's activities

Based on the preliminary analysis, six areas with the highest level of corruption vulnerability were identified. A detailed analytical report is currently being prepared, which will become the basis for further changes in the structure and procedures of the State Tax Service.

• Assessment of the effectiveness of the current Anti-Corruption Program

A comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the current Anti-Corruption Program is being carried out: its strengths and weaknesses, as well as areas that need improvement, are being identified. This approach will make the future program not only formal, but also effective.

• Start of work on the new Anti-Corruption Program of the State Tax Service

The participants of the Working Group have already moved to the stage of designing a new Anti-Corruption Program that will meet modern challenges and best practices in anti-corruption compliance. Feedback from the public, business and internal stakeholders plays an important role in this process.

Transparent tax service - a shared responsibility

Reforming anti-corruption policy in the tax sphere is a task that cannot be implemented by the efforts of a single institution alone. This is a shared responsibility of the state, business and society, united in the goal of creating a tax service that deserves the trust of citizens.
