Description

Developing an anti-corruption framework is a crucial yet a difficult task in any country, with Kosovo being no exception. Asset declaration is a key element of any anticorruption framework. The assets of public officials, particularly public officials in developing countries, are often excessive in relation to their income which in turn raises an ethical question- where did they get the money? One important tool for identifying the legality of the assets of public officials is asset declarations (AD), also referred to as financial disclosures, which are a foundational element of well-established anticorruption programmes. Asset declarations refer to “a person’s balance sheet that covers assets, from all homes, valuables and financial portfolios, to liabilities, such as debts and mortgages, and all sources of income from directorships and investments to consulting contracts.
