Abstract. Recently, academic integrity literacy and anti-corruption issues have become very topical in education system. Lithuanian domestic and foreign policy is interested in reducing corruption in order to improve Lithuania's international image in all sectors. Research conducted in recent years lacks the anti-corruption theme of public education and the image of impunity is relevant. In the education system, corruption takes many forms and dimensions [37]. In all cases, corruption challenges the quality of education and thus the socio-economic development of the society.The research aim was to analyse documents available to higher education communities aimed at enhancing academic integrity literacy and prevent possible manifestations of corruption in higher education systems. The objectives of the research: to analyse documents which are available to higher education communities and related to academic integrity literacy, to assess the documents visibility and accessibility to the academic community and the public, to establish if the available documents were analysed and examined by the academic community members. Analysis of recent research and publications. Academic integrity literacy and preventing corruption in higher education is a growing topic in educational research. I. Silova, M. Johnson, S. Heyneman (2007), E. Denisova-Schmidt (2016), highlights more how corruption affects the efficiency of the economy. R. Bikulciute and R. Mrazauskaitethe (2013) excluded the problems of academic integrity literacy. N.L. Rumyantseva (2005) represented the taxonomy of corruption in the higher education system. A.L. Osipian (2008), S. Tanaka(2001) G. Mohamedbhai (2015) and others, wrote the manifestations of hidden and open corruption or corruption forms.Research methodology. Aiming at analysing the documents available to higher education communities to enhance academic integrity literacy and prevent possible corruption in the higher education system, analysis of these documents was carried out. Also, their visibility and accessibility to the academic community and the public was assessed. Quantitative research with students and teachers was used to establish how well the academic community members knew the aforementioned available documents.Conclusion. On their websites, higher education institutions publish all documents that regulate their activities including studies, which allows to prevent or partially reduce the existence of not only visible corruption but also hidden forms of corruption. As a preventive measure in higher education, members should be made more aware of the code of ethics and internal rules of work. However, various forms, such as thematic training, seminars or surveys, should be used systematically to fight corruption.
