Attestation of ESBU employees

Algorithm for the One-Time Attestation of ESBU Employees

"Transformation through professionalism and integrity"

This process is a key stage in rebooting the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, which guarantees the compliance of each employee with high standards of economic security, professionalism, and integrity. We aim to create an efficient and transparent system where every employee realizes their responsibility and the importance of their role in ensuring the economic security of the state.

Principle of transparency: Working at ESBU is a conscious choice of professional verification.

Stage I: Preparatory

It begins with the issuance of an order by the Director of ESBU to conduct a one-time attestation. All employees of the Central Apparatus and Territorial Offices of ESBU familiarize themselves with this order. An important step is submitting a written application by employees, where they can express their consent or refusal to undergo attestation. This ensures transparency and a conscious decision by every employee.

Stage II: Compilation of Lists

The Human Resources Department conducts a thorough reconciliation of the staff schedule with the actual submitted applications. Based on this reconciliation, the final list of the ESBU employees subject to attestation is formed. A full package of documents, including applications and formed lists, is promptly sent to the attestation commissions for further work.

Stage III: Personnel Decisions

At this stage, the preparation of orders for the dismissal of those employees who consciously refused to undergo attestation or failed to submit an application within the established deadline takes place. The principle of transparency is key: working at ESBU is a conscious choice of professional verification and compliance with high standards, which requires readiness for continuous development.

Stage IV: Passing the Attestation

The direct passing of the established stages of attestation by employees takes place, which includes various forms of checking competencies and integrity. After completion of this stage, attestation commissions make and provide decisions on the successful or unsuccessful passing of the attestation by ESBU employees. This is an objective assessment of professional competence and integrity.

Stage V: Finalization

At the final stage, the preparation and issuance of orders for the dismissal of employees who, based on the results of the attestation, do not meet the criteria of professional competence and integrity takes place. This step is necessary to ensure a high level of professionalism and efficiency of the Bureau's work, as well as to strengthen public trust in its activities.

• Each stage of attestation is carefully regulated, which guarantees objectivity and compliance of the procedures with the current legislation. We believe that such an approach will allow ESBU to effectively fulfill its mission.

According to the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Improving the Work of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine” (hereinafter – the Law), in order to confirm the proper level of integrity and professional competence, the employees of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine are subject to a one-time attestation (hereinafter – attestation).

Attestation is carried out by attestation commissions established by decision of the Director of the ESBU.

Each attestation commission consists of 12 members, including:

• six persons appointed by the Director of the ESBU;
• six persons designated by international and foreign organizations which, in accordance with international or interstate agreements, during the last three years have provided international technical assistance to Ukraine in the field of preventing and combating corruption and/or reforming law enforcement bodies, from among representatives selected by them from public associations, unions, professional associations, and other associations of legal entities, which during the last three years have been carrying out activities aimed at improving the business climate and protecting the rights and interests of business in Ukraine.
