The agency is one of the three anti-corruption pillars of Ukraine, created after the Euromaidan revolution, along with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO).
In contrast to NABU, which is a law-enforcement institution, NACP has a preventive function. As such, the Agency develops regulations that help prevent corruption and ensures compliance with them.
The candidates of the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election were required submit a declaration of income for the year preceding the year of the beginning of the election.[4] This document will be scrutinized by the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption who will subsequently publish the results of the audit.[4]
