This article examines the theoretical, legal, and practical aspects of preventing corruption and conflicts of interest within the public civil service system. Particular attention is paid to the adverse impact of corruption on the effectiveness of public administration, the openness and transparency of state bodies, as well as public trust in state institutions. The essence and types of conflicts of interest, along with their significance as factors generating corruption risks, are analyzed based on the approaches developed by international organizations and scholars. Furthermore, the article discusses existing mechanisms for assessing the quality of public services and identifies challenges associated with their improvement. The author proposes a number of organizational and legal measures aimed at preventing corruption and conflicts of interest in the public civil service, including the introduction of an asset and interest declaration system, the adoption of a unified methodology for corruption risk assessment, and the development of ethics and integrity indices and digital monitoring mechanisms.
