| description |
The fight against corruption is a
developmental imperative. While international efforts have
achieved some significant results, they also illustrate the
extent of the challenges that remain. A key lesson of
experience is that tackling corruption needs to be waged
simultaneously on two fronts: prevention and enforcement.
Both approaches are complementary and self-reinforcing. The
vast scale of illicit financial flows from the proceeds of
corruption and the challenges associated with national and
international asset recovery efforts call, in particular,
for significant investments in prevention and a broadening
of prevention tools. Income and asset disclosure (IAD)
systems are gaining prominence as a tool in the fight
against corruption, and have the potential to support
efforts in both prevention and enforcement. This
contribution is recognized in the United Nations Convention
against Corruption (UNCAC) and other international
anticorruption agreements. Chapter one of this guides
provides an overview of the objectives of IAD systems,
identifies the relevant international anticorruption
instruments, and provides a summary of key considerations
that should influence the design, implementation, and
enforcement of an IAD framework. Chapters two and three
drill down into the design of IAD systems and address
practical aspects of implementation. |
