Are you waiting for a government inspector’s visit? That is, an inspector to inspect you. Unlike the days of Nikolay Gogol, today you can definitely check whether he has the right to hold inspections, and the BRDO Office will help you better understand “pitfalls” of the supervision and control system.
Inspection life hack #1. UNIFIED FORMS OF ACTS
Do you know that you have the right not to allow inspectors to conduct an inspection of your business, if a supervisory body that “sent” them did not prepare and publish unified forms of acts with an exclusive list of points for inspection on its website? No? Then let’s take a closer look.
What is a “unified form of act”? After any inspection, an inspector has to prepare a document describing what requirements he has checked and whether he has found any violations. This document is an inspection act. Based on the facts reported there, the inspection body may decide to impose a fine on an entrepreneur or the court may suspend his economic activity.
To avoid the situation, when inspectors make inspection acts as they wish, the supervisory body approves the unified form of such an act by its order – that is, the form to be used by all inspectors without exception. An important part of the unified form of inspection acts is a list of points for inspection, that is, a list of all the requirements that inspectors can check during the inspection (bit no more – they can not add requirements on their initiative).
If the supervisory body didn’t approve such a unified form or if it approved, but did not posted on its website – you have the right not to allow inspectors from this body to conduct inspections. You can use the list prepared by the State Regulatory Service here to find those supervisory bodies that have already approved unified forms of acts.
