On the initiative of the State Audit Office, the Minister of Public Administration and Justice, the General Prosecutor, the President of the Supreme Court and the President of the State Audit Office signed a joint statement. The National Office for the Judiciary joined this statement in 2012, while the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2014. In 2016, the Public Procurement Authority and the National Bank of Hungary also approved the statement. The signatories have made a moral commitment to strengthen their state-run bodies to resist corruption and develop anti-corruption tools.

The Code of Ethics, the Code of Integrity and trainings have all contributed to improve public confidence in courts, as shown on the European Commission Scoreboard.
