How Much Does Control Cost?

Building B, level 6, conference hall 9

In 2022, the Government of the Russian Federation imposed restrictions on unscheduled control and supervision measures up to the end of 2024, as well as scheduled ones until 2030. Scheduled control and supervision measures will not be conducted with respect to PDA and FPV residents from 2024 onwards. Systematic work over the last few years has managed to lighten the burden on entrepreneurs. Since 2019, the number of audits has been reduced four-fold, from 1.5 million to 350 thousand in 2023. Abolition of 140 thousand requirements has allowed businesses in Russia to save RUB 200 billion a year, and audit moratoria – up to RUB 100 billion. Even so, despite the measures introduced, the number of preventive ones has risen substantially and there are spheres where control optimization is needed, particularly with respect to customs and other types of control at entry points. Against the background of a general fall in the number of audits of residents, that of enquiries and the administrative burden are increasing not only on businesses but also government agencies and development institutions. Optimization of control and supervision creates additional potential for developing the economy. For instance, simplification of customs control administrative procedures can increase the capacity of land entry points and boost customs payments into the Treasury by RUB 0.5 billion. How should control and supervision measures be re-tuned to ensure maximum business efficiency? How can a risk-orientated approach to control and supervision activities be ensured?
