The agency is one of the three anti-corruption pillars of Ukraine, created after the Euromaidan revolution, along with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO).

In contrast to the NABU, which is a law-enforcement institution, the NACP has a preventive function. As such, the Agency develops regulations that help prevent corruption and ensures compliance with them.

The candidates of the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election were required submit a declaration of income for the year preceding the year of the beginning of the election. These documents will be scrutinized by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention who will subsequently publish the results of the audit.

As one of its major services, the agency runs an anti-corruption portal. The agency maintains a list called International Sponsors of War with companies they deem contribute to the Russian war effort in Ukraine.
