Abstract

This article explores the internal and external context of the public sector. At the same time, the study proves the fact that the corruption risks of the public sector are the risks of certain departments that perform the functions of the state apparatus. The international standards of the OECD and ISO, as well as the recommendations of the international organizations FATF, Interpol and others, always focus on the external and internal context of the state body of the state, which confirm the fact that the identification of internal and external corruption risks always makes it possible to determine ways to prevent corruption. An analysis of the context of the public sector will allow to consider the most vulnerable points for corrupt practices. The scale of a state body is determined by the number of institutions that it covers, that is, to perform several processes of one function, a state body requires several institutions, and, accordingly, personnel. In particular, by analyzing 14 external signs that make it possible to determine the presence of conditions for corruption in the public sector, as well as 6 internal aspects that highlight the weak points of state bodies that contribute to the commission of various corruption schemes (through the use of official powers).
