Abstract
In the article the authors consider legal measures aimed at forming the image of a civil servant. The authors suggest measures related to strengthening the financial control over the activities of officials. It is suggested to supplement the conceptual apparatus in the anti-corruption legislation in order to improve the image of the civil service. Besides the ethical problems of forming the image of a civil servant which the authors consider to be the main ones are considered. The process of forming the image of a civil servant is the result takes a long time. First of all, it is necessary to remember that it is the result of a long and painstaking work that requires a preliminary research of problems related to formation of the image of a civil servant. Based on the analysis of specialized literature, law enforcement practice as well as the regulatory framework governing the activities of civil servants, the authors offer recommendations for improving image of a civil servant. Since the quality of performance of functional duties also depends on the quality of the regulatory framework, the authors would like to note that the legal direction of ensuring the image of a civil servant is one of the effective methods of improving the efficiency of the public service system. However, this is not always possible if there are incompetent officials in local government bodies. In this regard, it is necessary to create systematic measures to form a positive image of civil servants.
