# National Integrity System Assessment Poland (executive summary) URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/national-integrity-system-assessment-poland-executive-summary Type: Publication or report Published: 2012-03-05 Updated: 2019-11-22 --- 05 March 2012 The National Integrity System (NIS) assessment approach provides a framework which anti-corruption organisations can use to analyse both the extent and causes of corruption in a given country as well as the effectiveness of national anti-corruption efforts. The picture emerging from the reports assessing the institutions which, with time, could form a coherent system of integrity of public life in Poland, can be described as only fairly satisfactory. The general profile of corruption in Poland allows us to claim that it is not a phenomenon of dramatic proportions or one that threatens the foundations of the state and the social order in Poland. Nonetheless there are numerous problematic areas which must be addressed if we are to talk meaningfully about having a functioning national integrity system in the country. ### Related publications ## [How effective is whistleblower protection in the EU?
