Abstract

The subject of the study is management and public relations in the field of anti-corruption compliance in the context of recovery. Methodology. The methodological basis of the study is the methods of induction and deduction, the dialectical-materialist method, the method of analysis and synthesis, and the historical method, which allowed for an objective understanding of the content and essence of the issues under study. The aim of the article is to analyse the theoretical aspects of the peculiarities of anti-corruption compliance and management in the context of recovery and to propose effective ways to improve the mechanism of these procedures. The results of the study showed that anti-corruption compliance in the context of restoration means not only a methodology for fighting corruption, but also the formation of principles and conditions related to conducting transparent and honest business. Conclusion. The successful operation of any company depends entirely on its attitude to corruption, which it must be aimed at combating. Violation of the anti-corruption policy can lead to irreparable consequences. The issue of establishing an effective anti-corruption system in commercial organisations is quite relevant. The main task of such a system is to identify and minimise corruption risks in advance, as well as to eliminate the causes and conditions of their occurrence in a timely manner. The need to develop and use compliance is based on the complexity of regulation and, therefore, the high probability of violating certain legal norms or internal rules. Anti-corruption compliance reduces the risks associated with corruption offences committed by employees, as well as the risks of damage to the company (not only material but also reputational). The study and synthesis of local acts adopted by organisations aimed at combating corruption allowed to summarise and critically evaluate an approximate list of principles that they most often adhere to when building an anti-corruption compliance system in the context of recovery. Adherence to the list of principles, taking into account their content and identified implementation problems, will allow to improve the typical model of anti-corruption management in the context of recovery. There are key management elements that can be identified, the presence of which in the corporate anti-corruption compliance control system allows to judge the success of such a system in the recovery environment. These key elements require a more detailed study, taking into account the specifics of the company's activities, but with their help, management can make anti-corruption compliance more effective in the recovery environment.
