About the project:
NGO ToP launched the Fiscal Watch Ukraine initiative by the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) to strengthen parliamentary oversight and integrity in fiscal governance. The project addresses critical information and coordination gaps in Ukraine’s public finance system, particularly in tax administration, state audit, and the activities of the Accounting Chamber.
Through the production and dissemination of monthly analytical digests, the project provides structured, data-driven insights into fiscal reform progress, corruption risks, institutional performance, and Ukraine’s alignment with EU and IMF benchmarks — especially under Chapters 16 (Taxation) and 32 (Financial Control) of the EU acquis.
The tax digests offer comparative monitoring of the reform process, tracking policy implementation, personnel changes, legislative developments, and oversight of public spending. Thematic areas will include anti-corruption safeguards in tax administration, audit independence, transparency of public expenditures, and an assessment of how the transformation of the Bureau of Economic Security affects tax compliance. The digests will also provide corruption risk assessments aimed at improving integrity mechanisms and strengthening accountability within Ukraine’s public financial management system.
In parallel, the project facilitates closed-door expert discussions with MPs, government institutions, civil society, and international partners, and conducts stakeholder surveys among business leaders and policy experts to assess the perceived progress and relevance of ongoing reforms.
By promoting informed decision-making and enhancing evidence-based public dialogue, the project contributes to building a more transparent, accountable, and EU-aligned system of fiscal governance in Ukraine. The digest series will continue to serve as a public good through the ToP analytics platform.
The project is supported by the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) – the leading anti-corruption support program in Ukraine funded by the EU, co-funded, and implemented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark.
