Classification of tools for reducing corruption risks in the system of public procurement, depending on their impact on the factors of corruption R. Klitgaard

Abstract

Importance. The development of tools to reduce corruption risks in the procurement system to ensure public needs (public procurement) is an important state task. The current state of public procurement indicates the presence in this area: firstly, contradictions between the anticorruption target of creating a modern public procurement system and the reality of largescale corruption in this system; secondly, the variety of forms and manifestations of corruption in the public procurement system that require study, systematization for the purposes of effectively countering this negative phenomenon. Scientific thought has formed a rich theoretical and methodological basis for combating corruption, the important elements of which are the economic formula of corruption by R. Klitgaard and the formula of the expected benefit of the criminal G. Becker. We believe that taking into account the factors underlying these formulas is an important condition for developing an effective anticorruption policy in the public procurement system based on the laws of the economy. Objectives. Classification of tools for reducing corruption risks in the public procurement system depending on their impact on corruption factors by R. Klitgaard. Methodology. In the process of achieving the set goals, the methods of scientific cognition were used: retrospective analysis of normative regulation; structural analysis, formal logical analysis, method of scientific classification. The research is based on the study of current scientific and periodical economic literature. Conclusions and Relevance. As a result, the article highlights anticorruption measures of regulation of public procurement aimed at: reducing the monopoly position of an official; reducing arbitrariness in choosing decisions; increasing responsibility through punishment provided for by legislation; increasing responsibility through the detection of corrupt transactions and the application of punishment
