However, the control of assets and income of cadres and civil servants in recent years has not been effectively implemented, leading to many incomplete declarations of assets and incomes of cadres and civil servants. sufficient, dishonest, and concealed, especially assets that cannot be checked and verified such as hidden assets or opened accounts in foreign countries but undeclared. Therefore, the measures to fight against corruption through declaration of assets and income have not been effective and feasible due to the inadequate and unrealized inspection and verification mechanism for assets and income. present fully, seriously and comprehensively.

Besides, it is very difficult to inspect and supervise the declaration of assets and income of officials and civil servants, due to the dispersion of assets by asking others to name the ownership rights. , thus making it difficult to detect and recover corrupt assets.

The purpose of the declaration of assets and income is for officials and civil servants to have the responsibility to declare, explain and prove their income in a lawful manner and promptly prevent possible corrupt acts. happen. To know if the declaration of assets and income is honest or not, the management agencies must also monitor the assets and incomes of spouses, children, parents, etc. of officials and civil servants; coordinate with management agencies to verify whether officials or public servants own any assets other than those declared.

And one of the important solutions is, it is necessary to publicize and expand the scope of supervision of the declaration of assets and income of cadres and civil servants at the place of work and residence. At the same time, strengthening the inspection, inspection and supervision of the declaration of assets and income of officials and civil servants not only serves the settlement of complaints and denunciations but also has to develop a plan to performed annually. Thus, the declaration of assets and income of cadres and civil servants will be put into order, in fact, contributing to improving the effectiveness of the current anti-corruption work.
