In the course of performing his official duties, an employee may find himself in a situation where he has a real opportunity to use his powers for personal gain or to act in the interests of third persons. Such situation, according to the adopted legislation of most countries, including the Republic of Uzbekistan, is called a conflict of interest. The regulation of the conflict of interest is aimed at identifying such situations in a timely manner, so as not to allow the employee to act in it completely independently and not to give an objectively existing opportunity to develop into an offense, thereby preventing corruption.
The regulation of the conflict of interest allows solving additional tasks:
• Identify the circle of related persons who may be involved in corruption schemes;
• Apply sanctions when an employee acts in personal interests, but harm is difficult to prove for one reason or another;
• Increase the transparency of the activities of the state body (organization).
However, the main task is still to prevent corruption.
