Abstract
The main objective of this study is to identify the role of Assets Disclosure and Registration law in
the reduction of corruption through the Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission of Ethi-
opia. The introduction and implementation of the Assets Disclosure and Registration law by the
Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission of Ethiopia is believed to be beneficial for the
Country in preventing and combating corruption. In order to achieve the research objective, the
researcher gathered data through questionnaires, interviews, and documents analysis. Then, the
researcher analyzed and interpreted the data; drew conclusions; and put forward recommenda-
tions. The major findings include: the commission has scored consistently and in increasingly
rate better than the predeceased and period of pre-promulgation years ADR in corruption pre-
vention activities, Allegations Received, Cases Investigated, Charges filed against suspects,
Number of Individuals Arrested, Number of convictions in terms of files, Conviction Rate in terms
of files (%), Individuals Convicted, and assets recovered lost to corruption by the commission.
Effectiveness of the commission increases and level of corruption perception index decreased at
steady level and increase cleanness of corruption or reduced corruption committing in the coun-
try. Even though the law has a very great role in maximizing efforts of fighting corruption in the
case of FEACC, there is a lack of full utilization of the law as wanted especially conscious verifi-
cation. To alleviate the problem it is recommended that the Commission should be at full scale
engagement to increase the conscious verification of the already registered assets so as to
achieve the very goal of assets disclosure and registration law
