Abstract The article is devoted to the analysis of the system of state control over compliance with ethical principles and standards in the civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan as a key instrument for ensuring legality, integrity, and public trust in the activities of public authorities. The significance of ethical norms in preventing corruption, conflicts of interest, and abuse of official powers is examined. Particular attention is paid to institutional mechanisms of state control, including the activities of ethics commissioners, councils, commissions, and other supervisory bodies in this field. The forms and methods of state control are analyzed, such as legal and regulatory framework, monitoring of civil servants’ conduct, conducting internal investigations, and the application of liability measures. The article also explores foreign experience in state control systems for compliance with ethical and anti-corruption standards in the civil service. Emphasis is placed on the role of prevention of ethical violations, the formation of a culture of official conduct, and the enhancement of legal and ethical awareness among civil servants. It is concluded that the effectiveness of state control largely depends on the coherence of legal, organizational, and educational measures, as well as on the transparency and accountability of the civil service. The results of the study may be used in further improving the system of ethical regulation and control mechanisms in the civil service.
