Abstract

The article, on the basis of the analysis of normative legal acts and scientific and legal literature, clarifies the role of the principles of good governance in reducing corruption-inducing factors in the activities of public administration bodies. The most common corruptionogenic factors, such as: discretion; legal uncertainty; conflict of interests; the possibility of receiving an offer, promise or receiving an improper benefit; use of legal constructions of an evaluative nature. The content of these corruption-inducing factors is considered in detail. A number of legal and normative acts were analyzed, including both draft and current acts regarding the presence of corruption-inducing factors in them. Some of them were considered, in particular, those where corruptionogenic factors were identified and the role of good governance principles for their reduction was determined. It was found that in some legal and normative acts, such principles of good governance as legal certainty, transparency, delegation, accountability, responsibility, justice, consensus orientation are leveled or violated. In order to properly comply with the specified principles of good governance, proposals were submitted to improve the provisions of a number of regulatory acts. It is argued and emphasized that in order to simplify the identification of corruption-inducing factors in the activities of public administration bodies, it is necessary to enshrine the most frequently encountered corruption-inducing factors in the anti-corruption law of Ukraine. The comprehensive observance of all principles of good governance in the practical activities of public administration bodies will contribute to the reduction of corruption-inducing factors in particular and the prevention of corruption in general. Key words: corruption-inducing factors, principles of good governance, regulatory act, public administration.
