The integrity of Lithuanian public, private and non-governmental sectors is viewed only as satisfactory by Lithuanian experts. According to the results of the Lithuanian national integrity system assessment study coordinated by Transparency International Lithuania and supervised by the Lithuanian Institute of Law, the Lithuanian integrity system scores 68 out of 100 possible points. Experts assess legal integrity framework as high (81 points out of 100) while their practical implementation is lagging behind (54).
Within the research the experts studied the integrity of thirteen institutions and sectors of the country. The experts analyzed whether these thirteen pillars had enough resources to implement their activities and whether they operated in an independent, transparent, accountable and ethical manner. They also analyzed the role these NIS pillars play to support the anticorruption system of the country. Among the institutions and sectors analyzed were the parliament (the Seimas), the government, the judiciary, the public sector, law enforcement institutions, the Central Electoral Commission, Office of the Seimas Ombudsmen, the National Audit Office, anti-corruption agencies, political parties, media, civil society and business.
