The effectiveness of inspections by regulatory authorities has increased over the first nine months of 2024. This was discussed at a meeting of Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko with regulatory authorities.
“The main result is that we have reoriented the work of control bodies to a risk-oriented approach. This means that inspections are carried out only where there is a risk of violating the law. When a business conscientiously complies with mandatory requirements, there is no reason to come to it. The entire inspection system has been digitalized and has become absolutely transparent. Both the Government and the prosecutor’s office – we see when, where and on what grounds the inspector went, what violations he identified during the inspection,” commented Dmitry Grigorenko.
The most effective checks remain those based on the triggering of risk indicators. Over the first nine months of 2024, the accuracy of checks based on the triggering of indicator signals reached 87%, while for the same period in 2023 it was 69%. For comparison: the average effectiveness of checks for all other reasons today is about 60%. Effectiveness is understood as the ratio of the validity of the check and the violations identified during the inspection.
A risk indicator is a set of features that reflects compliance by a controlled entity with mandatory requirements. If the indicator gives a signal, then there is a high probability that mandatory requirements may be violated at the facility. The number of risk indicators is steadily growing. Today, there are 481 risk indicators in the arsenal of control and supervisory authorities. By the end of the year, it is planned to introduce 20 more.
According to the results of the first nine months of the current year, the volume of inspections based on risk indicators has doubled. The total number of inspections (scheduled and unscheduled for other reasons) has been steadily decreasing – by almost 4.2 times since 2019. Over the first nine months of 2024, 284 thousand inspections were carried out, at the level of the same period last year.
At the meeting, the participants also discussed the need to further improve the supervisory system and the risk system based on feedback from businesses. The government receives it through the service for pre-trial appeal of decisions of regulatory authorities. The service is in high demand, with more than 5,000 applications submitted in the first nine months of 2024, which is the same as in 2023. This year, the ability to challenge the assigned risk category, appeal orders based on the results of events without interaction, and file objections to the announced warning has been added.
Representatives of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Ministry of Economic Development also took part in the meeting.
