Principles
Criteria for verification of anticorruption compliance programs should be based on the following principles:
–Continuity. Criteria should be based on ‘Anticorruption Guidance’ (appr. by Ministry of Labor and social protection, 08.11.13).
–Consistency. Criteria should assess all kinds of anticorruption activities in a company. They should rely upon corresponding adjustments in the legislation.
–Usability. Criteria should be easy-to-use with their characteristics observed and measurable.
–Adaptability. Criteria should be applicable for verification of anticorruption compliance programs of small and medium enterprises with minimum modifications.
–Adequacy. The assessment of anticorruption compliance program implemented in a company should be objective and not to demand unreasonably high expenses for fulfilling them.

Consistency
Criteria should enable to check the implementation of all major kinds of anticorruption activities in a company:
–Regulatory, meaning that a company should have a required set of internal Anticorruption Standards complying with the Russian legislation.
–Executing, implying fulfillment of all required anticorruption activities and their effectiveness.
–Control, enabling to monitor anticorruption procedures implemented in a company along with quality control.
–Information, implying large public awareness of active anticorruption activities in a company and results with training program for all types of managers and employees. Legislation, in turn, should contain leniency provision for receiving illegal gratification on behalf of a legal entity for companies which have implemented anticorruption procedures (art.19.28 The Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses).
