In 2024, DOT assessed 1,603 potential contractors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for compliance with anti-corruption and sanctions legislation. Of these, two were rejected due to sanctions imposed by the Antimonopoly Committee, and one was disqualified due to outstanding tax debt.
These checks serve as a mechanism for managing corruption risks and potential abuses, as outlined in DOT's Anti-Corruption Program.
Additionally, over the past year, DOT conducted integrity compliance checks on 260 individuals, including employees and job candidates. Of these, five received negative evaluations and were not admitted to work in the agency. The key assessment criteria included conflicts of interest, criminal prosecution, or confirmed cases of information leakage.
"The main goal of DOT's Anti-Corruption Program is to regulate relations with contractors and establish transparent control mechanisms. In addition to standard measures, we have introduced new tools, such as developing restrictive measures for unscrupulous suppliers and obtaining certification under the international ISO 37001:2016 standard. The results of this certification will be available soon," commented DOT’s Director of Risk Management and Compliance, Dmytro Bigunets.
The 2024 Anti-Corruption Program report will serve as a benchmark for measuring further progress in implementing DOT's anti-corruption policy.
