Abstract
Corruption remains a major challenge to good governance in countries. It reduces a countryʼs economic development potential and the well-being of its citizens, which is why authorities are constantly looking for new ways to combat it. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the existing methods of fighting corruption and analyse the experience of other countries in this area. The research aimed to analyse the experience of Singapore, Finland, Denmark, South Korea, and Kazakhstan in the context of combating corruption and to formulate recommendations on their basis for the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the study, comparative law and legal modelling methods were utilised to analyse the differences in anti-corruption legislation and enforcement between Kazakhstan and other countries. The differences that exist in these states were described, as well as the reasons for achieving certain results in the fight against corruption, despite many common approaches (tightening legislation, digitalisation of government processes, development of ethical and cultural interactions in the country). Subsequently, an assessment was made of the opportunities for Kazakhstan to apply the methods actively used in Singapore, Finland, Denmark, and South Korea to its specific development. It was pointed out that it is worthwhile to implement extensive anti-corruption measures in all possible areas of the country, and that the policies applied by the authorities should be comprehensive. It will be useful for improving public policies to counteract unscrupulous behaviour on the part of public officials
