Last year, the BRDO together with the SRS and the Ministry of Economic Development worked hard to implement innovative solutions in the state supervision (control) system before the end of the moratorium on business inspections. For example, a pilot IAS module, which is a significant step from the unpredictable and therefore corrupt system to a transparent and clear risk management system.
Now the moratorium on inspections is extended until the end of 2018, but this year we have a special “reasonable moratorium”. Why? There are two main points.
The first one is a leverage, which, under appropriate conditions, will allow involving those inspection bodies that can be partners, but not a problem for businesses, in a smart and consistent way. This leverage is the fact that a list of bodies, which are not subject to the moratorium, is determined by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, and not by the Verkhovna Rada. The CMU’s decision is not only more flexible by default, but also better informed, since most of supervisory bodies are coordinated by the relevant ministries.
The second one is related to additional grounds for unplanned inspection during the moratorium in 2018. In particular, when there is a need to control whether an entrepreneur eliminated violations identified during the preliminary inspection. And more importantly – if there is an event that has a significant negative impact on the rights, interests, life and health of people, the environment and the state security. This new ground will allow supervisory bodies to respond effectively to threats to main social values in real time, and not just to make a helpless gesture while waiting for complaints or court decisions.
Meanwhile, we are still working hard on the national risk management system.
