In the contemporary world, social networks and the digitization of social relations exert a growing influence on the fight against corruption. However, the indicators for its assessment have proven to be inadequately adapted to these changes. The primary purpose of this research is to establish a forward-looking system of indicators for assessing corruption processes in the context of social relations digitalisation. Based on cluster and correlation analysis, the research methodology included a quantitative and qualitative assessment of corruption processes in 52 countries. A multivariate analysis of corruption was used as the research method. Over the studied period of 2017-2021, there was a significant increase in the number of corruption cases per 100,000 population in the Bahamas (+110.38), Hungary (+54.02), Denmark (+16.81), and Paraguay (+15.24). Substantial reductions in corruption incidence were observed in Slovenia (-39.95), Switzerland (-39.41), Estonia (-15.54), and the Czech Republic (-12.60). A cluster model for classifying countries according to the level of corruption has been developed. The methods for measuring and assessing corruption derived from the study could also be applied to a wide range of illicit natural resource rent-related activities. The digitisation of social relations entails the increasing influence of digital technologies in society, facilitating the prompt identification of corruption cases and the instantaneous dissemination of information about them.
