In order to strengthen the "Law and Order" narrative in the activities of quasi-public sector entities, as well as provide methodological support to compliance control specialists, the Anti-Corruption Service of the East Kazakhstan region organized an anti-corruption school for compliance officers in the region. The event was attended by more than 150 representatives of quasi-public sector organizations. Opening the school, Asylkhan Ashikov, First Deputy Head of the Anti-Corruption Service of the East Kazakhstan region, presented a report on the current state of compliance activities in the region. In his speech, he noted both the results achieved and the existing problems affecting the effectiveness of compliance services. In particular, it was emphasized that in many organizations the process of internal analysis of corruption risks is formal, limited to standard recommendations, which reduces its practical significance. In this regard, attention is focused on the need to introduce effective anti-corruption mechanisms and the active participation of compliance officers in the formation of a culture of integrity. During the discussion, special attention was paid to the role of compliance officers in strengthening the principles of corporate ethics and law enforcement practice, in particular, in the context of the implementation of the "Adal Azamat" concept presented by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the Kurultai. The report was also delivered by the chief specialist of the state and Legal Department of the office of the Akim of the East Kazakhstan region, E. Karpova, who highlighted the key aspects of the work of compliance services within the framework of TBN4 project management. An important area of the school's work was the professional development of compliance officers. In this context, Professor S. Kovalev of the East Kazakhstan Branch of the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan discussed in detail the functional issues of compliance officers, their tasks and responsibilities in the quasi-public sector. V. Nadtochiy, Compliance Officer at Ulba-TVS, shared practical aspects of compliance control and corruption risk management. In his speech, he presented effective risk assessment tools and methods, as well as ways to implement preventive anti-corruption measures. The final stage of the event was a speech by Senior lecturer of the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of KAFU, PhD F. Iskenderova, who presented a report on the psychological aspects of the formation of corporate culture and anti-corruption values in organizations. Upon completion of the school, all participants were awarded certificates confirming their training at the anti-corruption school for compliance officers.
