Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions about Compliance and Anti-Corruption law in Ukraine, answered.

The key anti-corruption laws in Ukraine include the Law on Prevention of Corruption, which establishes the legal framework for corruption prevention, and the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which criminalizes various forms of corruption, including bribery and illicit enrichment.

The main elements of an effective compliance program include a strong tone from the top, a clear code of conduct and policies, risk assessments, training and communication, third-party due diligence, confidential reporting and investigation mechanisms, and regular monitoring and auditing.

If a company discovers potential corruption, it should promptly conduct a thorough internal investigation to determine the facts. Depending on the findings, the company may need to take remedial measures, such as disciplining employees, strengthening internal controls, and, in some cases, self-reporting to the authorities.
