THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF DESIGNING LEGAL MEANS OF COMBATING CORRUPTION IN CORPORATE ACTS OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISES
The article develops the theoretical foundations of combating corruption in the activities of private enterprises. The author develops the concept of legal design in order to apply it in improving the system of anti-corruption tools, which, in turn, is fixed in the local departmental acts of organizations. The study uses a dialectical method that allows us to understand the socio-legal phenomenon and analyze the totality of its objective and subjective factors. The use of the dialectical method determines the use of specific methods in the study: comparative-legal, hermeneutical, formal-legal. The article contains the author's approach to the relationship of different types of business corruption and its causes, the author identifies the negative consequences for both the organization and the state. The practical significance of the research is expressed in the development of tasks that need to be performed when designing an effective anti-corruption policy. The author points out that the introduction of anti-corruption systems in organizations is rarely associated with strong ethical considerations of the company's managers and owners. On the contrary, most often the reasons are utilitarian and pragmatic in nature. Bringing to justice, including within the framework of the extraterritorial action of foreign anti-corruption legislation, can entail large losses and have significant reputational risks, not to mention the real possibility of bringing the management to criminal responsibility.
