Principle of Transparency in Government Transactions

Abstract

From Islamic point of view, economic corruption is a deviation from religious rules in all economic fields, and the concept of "forbidden businesses" is a precise and deep equivalent for the concept of economic corruption in the Islamic-Shiite tradition. Government transactions are one of the major methods of budget spending and are therefore one of the legal tools to commit economic corruption. The importance and necessity of government procurement and its fundamental and positive role in the trade of goods and services has led governments to take steps to regulate government procurement in response to this concern in their plans. Considering the principles of jurisprudence, the fundamental and principal strategies in fighting and avoiding collusion have been considered in achieving transparency, and it can provide an effective and practical solution to be taken into account in domestic laws and regulations. The result of the research showed that our country's laws on government transactions do not fit well with those of the world, and, despite the current state of affairs, transparency and non-discrimination should be taken into account in existing laws; the current domestic laws on combating corruption in government transactions are not up-to-date and efficient and have shortcomings that make corruption possible.
