SOME ASPECTS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPETENCE OF THE AUTHORIZED DIVISION (AUTHORIZED PERSONS) ON PREVENTION AND DETECTION OF CORRUPTION
The purpose of the article is that on the basis of the analysis of positions of scientists-administrators and norms of the current legislation it is necessary: first, to find out the meaning of the term competence in activity of public administration bodies issues of prevention and detection of corruption, secondly, to clarify the basic rights and responsibilities exercised by the authorized units (authorized persons) on the prevention and detection of corruption as part of the administrative and legal status of the latter. The relevance of the article is that one of the main problems associated with the high level of corruption in the activities of public authorities is the lack of effective departmental anti-corruption programs. The annual plans to prevent corruption in public authorities are mostly formal and reproduce the provisions of the relevant higher-level acts. The detection of corruption is virtually nullified, as there are no systems for detecting and analyzing the risks of corrupt procedures, and there is a neglect of the implementation of mechanisms for reporting suspicions of corruption and protecting those who report them. The article provides a scientific review. The article provides a scientific review of the positions of scientists on understanding the competence of public authorities. The competence of the authorized unit (s) to prevent and detect corruption is considered from the standpoint of the legally established possibility of implementing the set of rights assigned to the authorized units (authorized person), which contribute to the implementation of anti-corruption legislation in terms of prevention and detection. It is proved that the competence of the authorized unit (s) to prevent and detect corruption is a component of the administrative and legal status of the authorized unit (s) and ensures the implementation of the entire functional spectrum of prevention and detection of corruption at the local level. In order to clearly regulate the competence of the authorized unit (s) to prevent and detect corruption, the article draws attention to the need to make appropriate changes to both legislative and local regulations, which will contribute to the formation of a culture of unacceptable corruption.
