Annotation:  The article examines various types of responsibility of independent experts (individuals) carrying out an-ti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts and their projects. Particular attention is paid to disciplinary and ethical responsibility. This approach is connected with the independent status of an expert: his own will to obtain this status, the initiative nature of expert activities, the lack of material incentives, as well as contractual, official and other relations between him and various authorities, drafters of normative legal acts. The authors conclude that the disciplinary responsibility of an expert can occur only when he is an employee of a legal entity accredited to conduct an independent anti-corruption examination of normative legal acts and their projects, and unfairly carried out an examination in the context of the performance of their labor functions. The moral and ethical responsibility of an expert is considered from the position of an expert’s responsibility to himself, to others, and also to society and the state.
