One of the key features of the activity of detectives is their procedural independence, which ensures the objectivity of investigations, as well as cooperation with the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP). The work of detectives is regulated in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, taking into account the principles of legality, transparency and respect for the rights of the participants in the process.

In the conditions of martial law, NABU adapts to modern challenges, in particular the fight against corruption in the defense sector, the investigation of procurement for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, control over the use of budget funds and international aid. Cooperation with the State Financial Monitoring Service (SFMS) allows effective analysis of financial flows and detection of money laundering schemes, in particular through international channels.

An important aspect of the work is the strengthening of cyber security with the support of international partners, which includes technical modernization, personnel training and the application of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. The successful implementation of these measures will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of the fight against corruption and strengthening international trust in Ukraine.

Prospects include the creation of a single platform for data exchange between NABU, DSFM and other law enforcement agencies, which will allow for more prompt response to corruption risks and increase the transparency of financial flows.
