The Electronic register of relations subject to corruption at the ‘low’, ‘medium’ and ‘high’ levels is formed by the Agency and publicly published on the Internet. The practice of compiling a corruption risk map will be introduced, which includes a description and level of identified corruption risks for each function, as well as measures to eliminate them.

This training is organized in order to explain in detail the innovations expected in the activities of the Internal Anti-Corruption Control Units, open discussion of relevant issues in the field, exchange of views on the implementation of legal documents regulating activities and assessing corruption risks, etc.
