Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention automatically risk-scores officials' asset declarations, clearing roughly a third of the 1.05 million declarations filed for 2021-22 as low-risk since December 2023, while routing higher-risk filings to manual investigators.

Context
Since 2016, Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP/NAZK) has required senior public officials to file electronic asset and interest declarations in a public register, and it says it was among the first countries to introduce automated bulk risk analysis of these filings.
Activities
The automated tool cross-checks declared assets against the State Demographic Register, State Register of Real Rights, State Land Cadastre, Unified State Register of Vehicles and other official databases, and on 27 December 2023 NACP announced the tool would cover the full backlog of over 1,050,000 declarations filed for 2021 and 2022.
Results
Declarations receiving the lowest risk rating, roughly a third of the total by NACP's own estimate, are cleared through automated checks within one to six weeks, while the remaining, higher-risk declarations are routed to full manual verification by NACP staff; the law sets discrepancy thresholds of 268,400 UAH in 2023 and 302,800 UAH in 2024 (100 subsistence minimums) for classifying filings as containing 'inaccurate' versus 'false' information.
Conclusions
NACP Deputy Head Artem Sytnyk was explicit that automated clearance is a triage step rather than a guarantee of integrity, stating that a certificate of auto-verification only indicates a minimal risk factor rather than that a declaration has been fully verified.

Staffing & skills
The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP/NAZK), a statutory anti-corruption body, runs the declaration register and automated risk-screening tool; Deputy Head Artem Sytnyk announced the December 2023 rollout, with remaining verification handled by NACP's own manual-review staff.
Conditions for success
Cross-checking declared assets against multiple existing state registries (demographic, real-property, land cadastre, vehicle) rather than relying on self-reported data alone.
Defining discrepancy thresholds in law so that risk categorisation is rule-based rather than discretionary.
Common failure modes
NACP itself cautions that automated low-risk clearance is a triage step, not proof that a declaration is accurate.
No independent study yet quantifies how much illicit enrichment the automated layer has caught versus the manual-review track.
