MOSCOW, June 20 (RIA Novosti) - Top state officials should declare their incomes and property acquisitions, the head of Russia's Audit Chamber said Tuesday.
Speaking at a round table on corruption, Sergei Stepashin said: "It is necessary to ensure that Group A officials [top state officials] report their incomes and property ... and [that Russia] develop legislation to enforce the transparency of bank accounts for this category of officials."
The Audit Chamber has also proposed to introduce an anticorruption evaluation of draft legislation and several amendments to legislation ensuring financial independence of fiscal bodies, including the chamber itself.
