78 inspections – 78 violations: NACP reports on the results of declaration control
17 December 21:55
The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption announced the completion in November of 78 full audits of declarations selected on a risk-based approach. In each of them, the agency found violations, which the NAPC calls an indicator of the effectiveness of the new selection mechanism, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
What is known about the inspection
According to the agency, 37 declarations showed signs of submitting inaccurate information worth more than UAH 172 million, and five more showed signs of unreasonable assets worth more than UAH 12 million. Based on the results of the audits, the NACP sent 26 substantiated conclusions to the competent authorities, and one material on unjustified assets was forwarded to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
November’s results fit into the broader picture of 2025. In eleven months, the NACP completed 924 full verifications of declarations, and violations were found in 917 of them. In 57% of cases, there were signs of false declarations, illicit enrichment, unreasonable assets, or violations of anti-corruption restrictions.
In monetary terms, these are significant amounts. Signs of illicit enrichment were found in 13 declarations worth UAH 463.2 million, unreasonable assets in 29 declarations worth over UAH 123 million, and false information in 475 declarations worth over UAH 3.6 billion. The NACP also recorded 13 cases of conflict of interest.
Since the beginning of the year, pre-trial investigation authorities have opened 232 criminal proceedings based on the NACP’s materials
Since the beginning of the year, pre-trial investigation agencies have opened 232 criminal proceedings based on the NACP’s materials, and another 59 materials have been added to already opened cases. Forty-three indictments have been sent to court, and 35 criminal proceedings completed in 2024-2025 are currently under consideration. Twelve guilty verdicts have already been handed down, ten of which have entered into force.
The agency itself emphasizes that the risk-based approach allows it to focus resources on declarations with the highest probability of violations and thus increases the effectiveness of control. At the same time, these statistics again raise the issue of not only detecting violations, but also the inevitability of punishment, given the limited number of sentences compared to the scale of the identified abuses.
