Trust or Verify: Shifting Emphasis in Control and Oversight

RUSSIAN ECONOMIC AGENDA
Panel Session
Congress Centre, Conference Hall B2

The modernization of state control and oversight goes hand-in-hand with efficient risk management. It is also accompanied by adjustment of goal-setting, improvement of the control bodies’ performance metrics, and provision of a system allowing transparent navigation among the multitude of mandatory industrial requirements. To deliver all this, comprehensive information systems and systemic retention of key personnel are required. The path ahead for the Russian Government is clear and foundations have already been laid: individual practices are being developed in risk-informed approach, performance assessment, and other areas. How universal are the approaches to reforming control and oversight used by various countries? What lessons can and should be learned and what steps should be taken to adjust practices with the appropriate level of caution?

Key moments

The less contact the controller has with entrepreneurs, with the overseen entities, the fewer problems we have, fewer corruption risks, less bias in government control and oversight.
Mikhail Abyzov
Minister of the Russian Federation
We inherited the current system of government control and oversight from Soviet times, and here we often encounter old Soviet requirements that businesses must comply with.
Mikhail Abyzov
Minister of the Russian Federation
If we cut off the flow in the artery of entrepreneurial initiative, the same fate will befall our business and, from there, it is but a short trip to economic and even political bankruptcy.
Zhakip Assanov
Prosecutor General of the Republic of Kazakhstan
The next stage we are now preparing for and have already done much for is risk management.
Anna Popova
Head, Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing
It is, in fact, very important that not only businesses but also budget-financed institutions should feel the effects of changes to control and oversight activities.
Mariya Shklyaruk
Head of the Institution and Society Division, Center for Strategic Research Foundation
Some facilities that we can see remotely, we are prepared not to inspect, that is, essentially, not to contact them.
Anna Popova
Head, Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing
When we speak about administrative inspections, we should change the paradigms. This should be a controlling function only.
Boris Titov
Presidential Commissioner for Entrepreneurs’ Rights
