Morocco’s Asset Declaration Renewal: What Public Servants Need to Know
The Moroccan Court of Auditors (Cour des Comptes) has announced the start of its triennial asset declaration renewal process. This mandatory declaration, affecting a significant portion of the public sector, begins February 3rd and runs for a full month. It applies to all state employees, local government personnel, public institution staff, and employees of bodies under their supervision. This regular declaration process is a key element of Morocco’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency and accountability within its public administration. Similar initiatives are seen globally, as governments strive to maintain public trust and combat corruption. For example, many countries, including France and the United States, have established asset declaration requirements for public officials.

This renewal isn’t just a formality; it’s a vital part of ensuring ethical conduct and responsible governance. Think of it as a routine check-up for the public sector, helping to maintain the health and integrity of the system. By requiring public servants to declare their assets regularly, the Court of Auditors can monitor for any unexplained wealth accumulation, which could be a red flag for potential corruption. While the exact figures regarding the impact of asset declaration on corruption are difficult to quantify, studies suggest a strong correlation between transparency measures and reduced corruption levels.

The Court of Auditors urges all concerned individuals to confirm their inclusion on the list of those obligated to declare. This list is maintained by designated officials within each respective authority. Checking your status is easy and ensures you’re fulfilling your obligations. Don’t wait until the last minute – confirm your inclusion now to avoid any potential complications.
To streamline the declaration process and make it as user-friendly as possible, the Court of Auditors has implemented a new online platform. Accessible through their official website (www.courdescomptes.ma), this platform allows individuals to schedule appointments for submitting their declarations. You can choose to submit your declaration either directly to the Court of Auditors or to one of the regional audit offices, depending on your geographical location and the legal requirements. This online system offers a convenient alternative to traditional paper-based submissions, saving time and resources for everyone involved. It also reflects the Court’s commitment to leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and accessibility.
