Mongolia: high workload of investigators negatively affects the fight against corruption. “The level of corruption in a country is highly dependent on the activities of the Anti-Corruption Authority, which is usually the only entity authorized to detect and investigate corruption crimes. Therefore, it is possible to fight corruption effectively by keeping the workload of the Anti-Corruption Authority’s investigators at a normal level and conducting investigations efficiently.”
