The Asset and Liability Declaration System is a centralized, secure, workflow-driven digital system developed for CIABOC under UNDP oversight to modernize Sri Lanka’s statutory asset and liability declaration process. Implemented in line with the 2023 Anti-Corruption Act, the platform replaces the previous paper-based submission model with a structured digital environment for declarant registration, declaration submission, review, vetting, and controlled public disclosure. The system is designed to manage large volumes of sensitive financial information while strengthening accountability, transparency, traceability, data protection, and legal compliance.

The Challenge

  • CIABOC required a secure and scalable national platform to digitize a highly sensitive statutory process that had traditionally depended on manual, paper-based submissions. The existing approach created challenges in data capture, record maintenance, follow-up, review efficiency, public access, and compliance monitoring.
  • Manual declaration processes made it difficult to manage large volumes of submissions efficiently and consistently.
  • Paper-based records created challenges in tracking declaration status, maintaining audit trails, and ensuring timely follow-up.
  • Declarants required a guided and standardized method to submit declarations accurately across different categories.
  • CIABOC officers needed secure workflows to review, vet, request clarifications, escalate, and resolve declarations based on internal procedures and risk indicators.
  • The platform had to balance public information disclosure requirements under the Right to Information Act with privacy and confidentiality obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act.

Key Features

  • Online Declarant Registration and Profile Management

The platform allows declarants to securely register, manage their profiles, and access declaration submission services through a controlled online environment.

  • Guided Declaration Submission

Dynamic, rule-based online forms support asset and liability declarations, with built-in validations, contextual guidance, and completeness checks to reduce errors at the point of submission.

  • Configurable Review and Vetting Workflows

Submissions are automatically classified and routed through internal workflows that support risk-based vetting, officer review, clarification requests, escalation, resolution, and status tracking.

  • Role-Based Access Control

A comprehensive RBAC framework ensures that sensitive financial information is accessible only to authorized users based on their role, responsibilities, and need-to-know access level.

  • Audit Trails and System Traceability

Every access, action, submission update, and workflow transition is captured through detailed audit logs, strengthening accountability and supporting legal and administrative review.

  • Dashboards and Supervisory Analytics

Supervisory officers can monitor declaration volumes, review status, ageing, risk indicators, institutional KPIs, and workflow performance through dashboards and drill-down reporting.

  • Controlled Public Disclosure

Public-facing components enable selected approved information to be published in accordance with applicable information disclosure requirements, while protecting confidential and personal data.

  • Security-by-Design Architecture

The system includes encrypted data transmission and storage, secure session management, audit logging, controlled access, and readiness for independent security certification.

  • Scalable and Future-Ready Platform

The architecture supports phased rollout, future expansion of declarant groups, enhanced risk-profiling logic, and potential integration with external data sources.

  • Training, Documentation, and Support

The solution includes user training, technical documentation, deployment support, and post-go-live maintenance to support adoption, sustainability, and long-term operational continuity.
