CORRUPTION RISKS WITHIN BANKING OPERATIONS

It has been noted that the problem of combating corruption for Ukraine is becoming more and more aggravated and relevant today, because our country has the duty to overcome it in accordance with the Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, on the other hand. It has been concluded that determining corruption risks is one of the main areas in the field of corruption prevention. Corruption risks are constantly investigated by academics and NGOs in various fields, including banking. Existing approaches to the definition of the concept of «corruption risk» have been studied and reasoned. It has been noted that nowadays the banking sector of Ukraine is in a difficult situation due to the unstable economic and political situation, hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, a significant level of inflation and the devaluation of the national currency. As a result of the banking system rehabilitation program implemented by the National Bank of Ukraine, the number of banks significantly decreased and the state-owned banks’ share in the banking system assets exceeded. Based on the analysis of the Anti-Corruption Program of the National Bank of Ukraine for 2018—2019, approved by the Decision of the Board of the National Bank and agreed with the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, the authors have defined possible corruption risks within banking operations; and they have been classified into internal (organizational and managerial, financial and economic, personnel, legal procedures for the activities of the bank) and external (activities of business partners, including state authorities, local self-government agencies, with which the bank has business relations). The authors have demonstrated the shortcomings in the Anti-Corruption Program of the joint-stock company «ALFA-BANK», Version 3.00, approved by the decision of the Supervisory Board No. 18 dated from March 29, 2019; and have offered to amend it taking into account amendments in anti-corruption legislation. The issues of assessment mechanisms of corruption risks within banking operations, as well as the activities of the Commissioner for Combating Corruption in the Bank have been determined as perspective areas of research on corruption risks within banking operations.
