Anti-corruption legal education: “Gift notification, delivery and registration of a gift”
A notification on receipt of a gift in connection with protocol events, business trips and other official events in which participation is connected with the performance of official duties is presented at the place of service no later than 3 business days from the day the gift is received.
According to established practice, a notification in duplicate is submitted to the department for the prevention of corruption and other offenses of a state body.
The notice shall be accompanied by cash, sales receipts, documents on payment (purchase), confirming the value of the gift, documents according to which the cost is less than three thousand rubles or equal to the specified amount. In this case, the gift itself in this situation may not be presented and not give up.
The procedure for giving and receiving a gift is made out by signing the gift delivery and acceptance certificate, and the gift must be delivered no later than 5 working days from the date of registration of the notification of its receipt.
Gifts and related documents are stored in a room, which ensures their safety. Prior to giving a gift to a financially responsible person, the official who received the gift is responsible for its loss or damage.
If there are documents confirming the value of the gift, carrying out procedures to determine the current estimated value of the gift is not required.
The basis for the start of the procedure for determining the current estimated value of a gift is a notification of receipt of a gift, the value of which is unknown and delivery of a gift according to the certificate of receipt and transfer of the gift.
If, as a result of determining the current estimated value of a gift, it is revealed that its value is less than three thousand rubles, the gift shall be returned to the official who handed it over. Refusal to accept this gift by regulatory legal acts is not provided, in connection with which the gift must be returned. The return of the gift is documented in an act.
Also, the right to redeem a gift can be exercised by the official who delivered the gift within two months from the date of delivery according to the acceptance certificate.
The person who filed a gift redemption application shall be notified in writing of the evaluation results, after which within a month it shall redeem the gift at the value established as a result of the evaluation or have the right to refuse to redeem it.
