The Corruption Prevention Commission (CPC), established in 2017 and operational since November 2020 following election of its members by the National Assembly, is Armenia's primary preventive anti-corruption body. It verifies asset and interest declarations of public officials — including police and penitentiary staff — monitors political party financing, and since 2024 conducts integrity checks on judges, prosecutors, and investigators. It has full access to protected state databases.
The CPC is not an investigative body; it refers violations to the ACC or prosecutors. Its members are elected by the National Assembly from candidates nominated through a competitive process involving the Government, parliamentary factions, and the Supreme Judicial Council.
