    The Federal Integrity Commission in Iraq audits the financial statements of the heads and founders of political parties, as part of the preparations for the provincial elections. The commission aims to combat corruption and remedy the legislative void with regard to disclosing the financial sources of party leaders. The Commission urges the political leaders in Iraq to be transparent, bear financial and moral responsibility, and cooperate with the relevant bodies in detecting and fighting corruption. It is expected that the Iraqi parties will be elected next November, and participate strongly in order to control local governments.
    The London-based Al-Arab newspaper said in a report, followed by Al-Muttall'a, that "the leaders of political parties in Iraq are evading disclosure of their financial liabilities, taking advantage of loopholes in the law regulating the work of parties that was approved in 2015."
    She added, "Many party leaders own financial empires of unknown origin, and a large part of this money is deposited in banks and banks abroad, and part of this money is used during election periods to influence the electoral process, whether by buying votes or controlling propaganda." Media".
    Party leaders take advantage of the absence of legislation to avoid any obligations to disclose their financial sources, for fear of falling under the law for committing economic violations. In this regard, the Federal Integrity Commission called on the competent authorities to provide it with the names of those covered by the disclosure of their financial liabilities, and described the response of party leaders and members of its founding bodies to the duty to disclose financial liabilities as "very low."
    The Federal Integrity Commission, an independent institution subject to the oversight of the House of Representatives and whose tasks focus on combating corruption, seeks to remedy the legislative vacuum with regard to disclosing the financial sources of party leaders. The Commission issued a decision in 2016 that includes all heads of political parties and members of its founding bodies with the duty to disclose their financial liabilities, in accordance with the provisions of Article (17 / Item Twelve) of its Law No. 30 of 2011, which stipulates that “everyone whom the Commission deems necessary shall be included.” disclosure of their financial liabilities.
    The commission works in coordination with the Independent High Electoral Commission to provide it with a list that includes the names of those included, and to update its database for them, and stresses that taxpayers must fill out a financial disclosure form, in order to avoid economic irregularities. It is important to note that the response of the heads of parties and members of the parties' founding bodies to this duty was very low, which exposes them to legal accountability in the event that it is determined that there are economic violations. The political leaders in Iraq must assume their financial and moral responsibilities, be transparent with regard to the sources of their wealth and money, and cooperate with the concerned bodies in exposing and fighting corruption.
    She said that she “contacted with the Non-Governmental Organizations Department in the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers in order to coordinate with them, for the purpose of filling out a financial disclosure form for the heads of organizations,” noting that “her request for a list that includes the names of all organizations and their heads,” stressing “the importance of notifying the heads of organizations that they have responded to their duty Disclosure of their financial liabilities.
    She pointed out that taking these measures coincided with the preparations for holding the provincial council elections, and based on Article (16/First-C, and Third) of the amended Integrity and Illicit Gain Commission Law No. (30 of 2011), which required the heads of associations, unions, unions, and organizations And the founders and heads of political parties to disclose their financial assets.
    And the commission granted “the authority to assign any political organization, non-governmental organization, federation, syndicate, or association to prove the legality of funding sources, donations, and expenditures in accordance with the rules followed in spending.”
    Observers rule out that the Integrity Commission's moves will receive a response, especially from the dominant parties in the Iraqi scene, pointing out that these parties have more than one way to circumvent the Commission's demands, including submitting fabricated documents, as this has already happened.
    The Iraqi parties are preparing for the provincial elections scheduled for next November, and it is expected that these parties will lose their financial weight in this election, which is of great importance as it is the gateway to controlling local governments.
