Financial declarations or income and
asset disclosures (IADs) are quickly becoming an important
tool for anticorruption agencies and governments to fight
corruption. IAD systems can play two important roles within
a broader framework of good governance: prevention and
enforcement. In an effort to discover how best to design and
implement an IAD system, the analysis conducted suggests
that countries ultimately must design a system that best
complements the environment in which it will function.
However, there are several key principles that policy makers
and practitioners need to consider: limit the number of
filers to improve the odds of success, set modest and
achievable expectations, provide resources commensurate with
the mandate, and prioritize verification procedures to align
with available resources, and balance privacy concerns with
public access to declarations. |
