Download or read book Combating Conflict of Interest in Local Governments in the CEE Countries written by Barbara Kudrycka and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the last decade, privatization, decentralization, and public procurement processes in Central and Eastern Europe have provided opportunities for unscrupulous public officials and their cronies in business to benefit financially from their unfair, and often illegal, access to public funds." "Conflict of interest involves the power of public officials to promote their private interest, the private interests of their relatives, or the commercial enterprises in which they participate. A legal and regulatory framework on conflict of interest would prohibit public officials from engaging in private businesses that could benefit from their public positions, require officials to disclose private interest in any issue under consideration, or force them to withdraw from participation in such decisions." "Among its strongest conclusions, Combating Conflict of Interest recommends: the establishment of a clear legal regime related to local government employees and elected officials; the development of a monitoring, accountability, and sanction system; the implementation of an effective audit and risk assessment mechanism; efficient legal remedies against biased decisions on concessions, licenses, subsidies, tax breaks, and land management; legal and binding declarations of local officials' private interests; the adoption of an obligatory code of ethics; withdrawal procedures from potential conflicts of interest for all officials; and a Commission of Ethics for reporting and investigating cases and enforcing sanctions." "Reports on conflict of interest in Bulgaria, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovakia are included in this new volume of the Local Government Policy Partnership."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict of interest occurs at all levels of governance, ranging from local to global, both in the public and the corporate and financial spheres. There is increasing awareness that conflicts of interest may distort decision-making processes and generate inappropriate outcomes, thereby undermining the functioning of public institutions and markets. However, the current worldwide trend towards regulation, which seeks to forestall, prevent and manage conflicts of interest, has its price. Drawbacks may include the stifling of decision-making processes, the loss of expertise among decision-makers and a vicious circle of distrust. This interdisciplinary and international book addresses specific situations of conflict of interest in different spheres of governance, particularly in global, public and corporate governance.
