TS. Plokhov Sergey Vladimirovich — 2026-03-30

This article analyzes the legal and institutional foundations governing anticorruption measures within the private sector of the Russian Federation. It examines the scope of Article 13.3 of the Federal Law 'On Combating Corruption,' which mandates that all organizations, regardless of legal form, implement comprehensive internal anti-corruption compliance programs. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of prosecutorial oversight in ensuring corporate adherence to these statutory requirements. The study demonstrates that systematic prosecutorial inspections are critical in identifying systemic deficiencies in internal compliance mechanisms and incentivizing firms to develop tailored anti-corruption policies that reflect their specific operational risk profiles. Furthermore, by reviewing common compliance failures among legal entities, the article concludes that fostering a culture of legal awareness among corporate leadership is a strategic imperative for mitigating liability risks and enhancing overall corporate governance.
