Background
Since the implementation of the biennial asset and liability declaration regime in 2016, Cambodian ministries and provincial institutions have been required to submit declarations to the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) as part of the country’s anti-corruption framework.
Scope of Application
The declaration regime covers officials designated with reporting obligations across seven ministries and fourteen provincial administrations. These officials must declare their assets and liabilities every two years as mandated by the ACU.
Key Provisions or Decisions
As of January 21, 2026, the Ministry of Planning and all cooperating ministries and provinces have completed 100% of their asset and liability declaration submissions under the 2026 biennial cycle. A total of 17,378 officials (87.38% of all designated officials nationwide) have submitted their declarations by the deadline.
Deputy Director Kuy Limhong of the ACU led a review meeting and site inspections to monitor progress and encourage compliance among officials and departmental teams responsible for collecting the declaration forms.
The official declaration form is publicly accessible on the ACU website (www.acu.gov.kh) and can be downloaded via a Google Drive link. Officials may also retrieve forms directly from the ACU offices or via a QR code distributed on the ACU’s Facebook page.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
The comprehensive submission of asset and liability declarations reinforces Cambodia’s institutional framework for transparency and accountability in public office. This supports a stable governance environment conducive to investment and compliance with anti-corruption regulations.
