Implementation of the Right to the Anti-corruption Expertise as a Strategy for the Protection of Business.

Abstract

The article describes the role and essence of the anti-corruption expertise in the

prevention of corruption. The author proved that the prevention of corruption requires the

identification and eradication of the roots of corruption in drafts and existing regulatory legal

acts. In the study of the essence of the anti-corruption expertise the attention was paid to the

subjects of its implementation. It was proposed to actively involve business in conducting anti-

corruption expertise through the Public Councils under the executive and local government

bodies, the Council of Business Ombudsman, and civil society institutions. The gaps in the

legislation on the public anti-corruption expertise were characterized, in particular, the lack of a

uniform methodology for its conduct, the procedure for accrediting independent experts, the

possibility of using the conclusion of the anti-corruption expertise as evidence in administrative,

civil, economic proceedings. In the conclusion, the characteristic features of the anti-corruption

expertise were formulated and directions for enhancing the participation of civil society

institutions in the realization of the right to the anti-corruption expertise as the main business

protection strategy were identified.
