Control and supervisory activities

On the basis of the Bison Capital Wealth Analytical Center there is a Project Office for the implementation of the reform of control, supervision and permitting activities. Its key task is expert and analytical, organizational and methodological support of the reform measures.

Priorities of the reform : 

  • implementation of a risk-based approach
  • development of prevention of violations of mandatory requirements
  • introduction of performance and efficiency assessment of IPA focused on reducing damage and costs of controlled entities
  • comprehensive update of mandatory requirements

On January 1, 2020, a new system of control and supervisory legislation came into effect.  Two major federal laws have been adopted, “On Mandatory Requirements” and “On State Municipal Control”.

More than 24 thousand acts fell under the “regulatory guillotine” – this is about 80% of all acts containing mandatory requirements. A significant part of them are documents from the Soviet and post-Soviet era. Many of them duplicated each other, and some of them turned out to be irrelevant.

The work on improving the system of state control (supervision) and permitting activities involves 12 authorities carrying out normative and legal regulation, 33 authorities implementing control and supervisory functions, as well as more than 20 sectoral working groups.

Another important thematic area of the Project Office’s activities is pre-trial appeal of control and supervisory activities. This is a digital service that allows to settle a dispute between a controlled person and a controlling body in a pre-trial order, as well as actions (inaction) of its officials.

Pre-trial appeal against actions and decisions of control and supervisory authorities for certain types of control (supervision) is available from August 2019, and will become mandatory for all from January 1, 2022.
