Results of anti-corruption inspections

This information was presented by the Agency for Combating Corruption, which summarizes its activities for the first six months of the current year.

National anti-corruption certification procedure approved in Uzbekistan for state bodies and companies

A new procedure for national anti-corruption certification has been approved in Uzbekistan. According to this regulation, state structures, budgetary institutions, and companies with a state participation share exceeding 50% will undergo checks.

Goals and Certification Process

This system is designed to determine the effectiveness of institutions in preventing corruption and adhering to transparency principles. The Anti-Corruption Agency is responsible for implementing and realizing the certification. Checks will be carried out in stages, starting with organizations where a high level of corrupt practices was previously recorded, the number of crimes increased, or a large number of appeals from citizens were received.

Assessment Content and Deadlines

During the assessment, specialists thoroughly study the organization's openness and the structure of its corruption risk management system. Compliance with service ethics norms, mechanisms for preventing conflicts of interest, and the effectiveness of internal anti-corruption units are also checked. Certification can be conducted either remotely or by visiting the site, with the maximum duration of the inspection being fourteen working days.

Criteria for Receiving the Certificate

The results of the assessment are recorded on a 100-point scale. Organizations scoring between 81 and 100 points receive a 'good' status and a certificate valid for three years. If the result falls in the range of 55 to 80 points, the institution is given one month to rectify the identified shortcomings, after which it can also apply for the certificate.

If less than 55 points are scored or if the discovered violations cannot be rectified within the established period, the organization is considered to have failed the certification. Until the full launch of the new system, this status will serve as grounds for suspending the payment of incentive bonuses to the leadership of these structures. The new regulation came into effect on July 25, 2026. It should be noted that previously, about 30 employees in the capital's khokimiyats were found engaged in corrupt activities.
