Abstract: In the context of the reform of state control and supervision in the financial sector, new instruments of control and supervision are being generated, which include monitoring. Using the example of tax and customs monitoring, the article highlights and substantiates current trends in the legal regulation of control and supervisory activities in the modern period. The author identifies the general and distinctive features of tax and customs monitoring, substantiates the current directions of their legal regulation. As common features of the institutions under consideration, the following are highlighted: the conditionality of their generation by the digital transformation of state control and supervision, elements of dispositivity, increased transparency of interaction, the role of self-control, limited use, and the development of individual legal regulation. Various formats of regulatory consolidation and criteria for limiting the use of monitoring are indicated as differences between tax and customs monitoring. To achieve the stated goal, methods of system analysis, synthesis, classification, comparative legal and formal legal methods were used. The novelty of the conducted research lies in the proposed options for the theoretical and legal positioning of monitoring as a tool of control, a type of public service, a tool to achieve a balance of private and public interests. The analysis made it possible to identify the features of monitoring used in the tax and customs spheres, which form new approaches to modern tools of state control and supervision in the financial sector. It is concluded that monitoring is positioned as an instrument of the appropriate type of control. At the same time, tax monitoring is clearly defined by the legislator as a new form of tax control, in the centralized sphere of control and supervisory influence, monitoring is understood as a special regime of remote state control (supervision), and the legal status of customs monitoring at the regulatory level in the customs control system is currently not defined. The conclusion is made about the proximity of monitoring to public services, which is reflected in the sign of voluntary participation in the mechanisms of tax and customs monitoring.

Abstract: The subject of the study is operative rules of the Federal Law "On Microfinance Activities and Microfinance Organizations", Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations, and by-laws published by Bank of Russia, which regulate grounds and applications of administrative enforcement measures to microfinance organizations. Moreover, regulations containing mandatory criteria of Microfinance Organizations' activity are examined, contained in the Federal Law "On Microfinance Activities and Microfinance Organizations" and regulatory acts of Bank of Russia. The legal effects are examined, related to the application of administrative enforcement measures to microfinance organizations, violating the prudential regulations. The methodological basis of the article is a set of different methods used in scientific knowledge. In the process of the study were used philosophical methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, deduction, modeling); classical legal methods (formal-logical, interpretive methods) which were implemented in the process of the analysis of specific content of legal regulations; a comparative method that was used to compare different administrative enforcement measures applied to microfinance organizations. The main conclusion drawn from the study is that the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations contains the legal regulations imposing an administrative responsibility for violation of mandatory economic standards on a microfinance organization as a legal body that objectively creates a legal basis for an objective imputation contrary to the principle of the presumption of innocence. At the same time, an exception from the register of microfinance organizations, as an administrative and preventive measure, is imposed for violation of the production order of reporting documentation, which would be more logical to enter into a Special Part of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations as an administrative offense.

Abstract: The object of the research is the system of state management of developing the space sector in the USA. The subject of the case study is the changes that have been happening in the system of management of American space development under the conditions of instability, uncertainty, complexity and contradictions of the modern world. The author of the article focuses on such phenomena as the growth of interest towards the evaluation of societal effects of space projects and programs, improvement of the mechanism that records numerous interfaces of stakeholders, transformation of the role of different elements in the system of state management of space development in order to preserve the leading position of the USA disregarding the external conditions. To achieve the aforesaid research objectives, the author has used general research methods (generalisation, analysis and synthesis), empirical and comparative (comparative history, comparative law) research methods. The author demonstrates that analysis of mechanisms that allow national management systems to make efficient changes and successfully perform their tasks (including space development) is an important area for further research. The author notes that excessive regulation of executive authorities' activity reduces their adaptability. Based on the analysis of the USA, the author demonstrates that under current conditions the role of auditing chambers is growing because this is the institution that offers a unique 'feedback' mechanism and may act not only legally and legitimately but also fast and efficiently.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the current legal acts regulating the banking sector of the economy and the market for shared housing construction in order to assess the effectiveness of mediated administrative-legal forms of influence (licensing, registration) on these segments of the economy. The study is carried out in order to identify promising areas for improving the legislation governing the forms of state influence on the economy. The novelty of the article is caused by the scientific and methodological substantiation of the advantages of forms of indirect influence on various sectors of the economy (on the example of the banking sector and the market for shared housing construction). To obtain reliable results in their study, the authors have used methods for analyzing information contained in official sources. In addition, data presented by independent financial portals and media resources of the Russian financial sector, the Russian segment of the Internet, were analyzed. To identify the degree of effectiveness of the implemented state-legal impact on economic relations, we have specifically developed criteria for assessing direct and indirect forms of government influence. The results are obtained on the basis of the method of comparative analysis of data in two segments of the Russian economy, the banking sector and in cooperative housing projects. The main conclusion made by the authors is that at present the most effective are the mediated forms of state and legal impact on the economy. The analysis showed that, in recent years, there has been a tendency in legislation to strengthen direct forms of state control. Such an impact leads to negative results in the economy, namely: monopolistic trends are growing; representatives of medium and small businesses are forced to leave the market; the number of entities unable to pay high taxes and administrative fines increases.

Abstract: The research subject is the range of current provisions of the federal law “On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (the Bank of Russia)” and the subordinate statutory acts issued by the Bank of Russia, which govern prudential regulation in the banking sphere. The authors study theoretical and methodological approaches to the problem of prudential regulation formed in Russian jurisprudence. The specificity of these provisions consists in their technical legal character mediating economic indexes of the activity of lending institutions. The paper analyzes coercive measures imposed on lending institutions for the violation of prudential directions, which compose the actively forming institution of prudential supervision as a component of banking supervision. The research methodology is based on the set of various methods of scientific cognition. The authors apply theoretical philosophical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, modeling); traditional methods of jurisprudence (formal logical, interpretation); the comparative method, which is used for the comparison of general legal categories and doctrinal views on the subject of the research. The authors conclude that there is a collision between the federal law “On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (the Bank of Russia)” and the subordinate acts regulating the functioning of lending institutions. This collision consists in the fundamental differences in the normative interpretation of the essence of prudential provisions. At the level of the federal law, prudential provisions include economic indexes of the activities of lending institutions, while at the level of subordinate acts, they include the provisions establishing responsibility for the violation of the accounting procedure by lending institutions. The most important authors’ contribution is the study of doctrinal approaches to the prudential component of banking supervision and the analysis of normative regulation of economic indexes of banking at the level of subordinate acts issued by the Central Bank. The authors note the necessity to exclude formal violations, infringing the accounting procedure of lending institutions, from the list of prudential provisions, and to include them in the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the consideration of the problem of the formation of the institution of prudential supervision in the banking sphere, and in distinguishing between technical provisions, establishing economic indexes of the functioning of lending institutions, and formal violations, infringing the established accounting procedure of lending institutions within banking supervision.

Abstract: The research subject incudes the theoretical problems of legal regulation of the excise duty rates for fuel and their interconnection with transport tax. The Tax Law drafts, establishing the excise duty rates in the Russian Federation, are prepared by the Ministry of Finance for the Government of the Russian Federation; then they are transferred to the State Duma of the Russian Federation. With that, the legislator doesn’t introduce a strict legal regime for the terms, volume and quantity of the rates changes during the fiscal year. The article 192 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation establishes the tax period – a solar month. The research methodology is based on the modern achievements of epistemology. The author applies general philosophical methods, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, the traditional methods of jurisprudence (formal logical, comparative-legal) and the methods of specific sociological studies (statistical, expert assessments, etc.). The author concludes about the absence of the statutory administrative procedure of legislative change of excise duty rates (using the example of excise duty for fuel). The author states the necessity to harmonize the regime of state regulation of excise duty rates in the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the proposals that take into account the foreign experience of the excise duty rates for fuel regulation and the legal regulation of the procedure of their change, and in the substantiation of the need for the cancellation of the transport tax in the Russian Federation.

Abstract: In the last 5-7 years the current criminal law has been supplemented with a significant amount of regulations imposing liability for particular types of commercial crimes. This situation arouses concern. Criminal legislation is traditionally considered as one of the conservative branches of the Russian law system, therefore the frequent changes and supplements to the Russian criminal law can indicate the lack of clear understanding of the goals of the contemporary criminal policy and (or) the means of their achievement. The authors study the issues of the correct use of the components of legislative technique in the provisions of particular regulations of criminal legislation on commercial crimes. The authors apply the set of general scientific and special methods of cognition. On the base of the research of particular articles of chapter 8 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation the authors conclude about the poor quality of these regulations. The analysis shows that many rules of legislative technique have been broken in the process of describing legally relevant elements of socially dangerous deeds. This circumstance causes the possibility of ambiguous interpretation and improper practical application of criminal regulations on particular commercial crimes.

Abstract: Social and economic changes of 1980s have formed favorable conditions for the formation of a large number of credit organizations. As a result of this fact, the law-enforcement elements of banking supervision and control became necessary and topical as well. Formation of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation based upon the State Bank of the USSR was an important step towards the formation of control and supervision activities in the banking system of the Russian Federation. The development of the status of the Bank of Russia in the sphere of control and supervision activities caused an objective need for the formation of the Banking Supervision Committee, which currently performs regulatory and supervisory functions in the banking system of the Russian Federation. According to its status the Banking Supervision Committee unites the structural divisions of the Bank of Russia, guaranteeing implementation of its supervisory functions. It should be recognized that the Banking Supervision Committee has made a significant input into the guarantees of legal order in the banking system of the Russian Federation. However, it is not yet fair to say that the Bank of Russia as a whole and the Banking Supervision Committee have done everything to protect lawful rights and interests of the depositors, which is due to both subjective and objective elements.

Abstract: The article is devoted to legal problems of formation of victimal behavior in the course of performance of entrepreneurial activities. The author of the article states that crime commited by businessmen shouldn't be considered purely "economic". On the other hand, they just can't be 'not economical' nowadays. Howeve, 20 years ago criminologists expressed their opinion that the economic crime consisted of infringement of property and procedure of business activity. Noteworthy that when it comes to the sphere of entrepreneurial activity, the list of crime should not include acts that are related to the sphere of entrepreneurship as the main, additional, obligatory or non-binding object. It has been assumed that expansion of the structure of fraud may lead to criminalization of actions committed by legitimate businessmen who use bank credits for the purposes other than intended or can't pay their credits in due time. The author describes peculiarities of crime committed in the field of entrepreneurial activities and discusses particular articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation concerning crime committed during entrepreneurial activities.

Abstract: Today's applied scientific research focuses on the problems of international cooperation between countries incluing their border territories. At the present time the Russian Federation has a number of international agreements and treaties that define different aspects of cross-border cooperation. The aforesaid agreements and treaties have different contents and targets. However, none of these international agreements has a universal nature which would define forms and mechanisms of cross-border cooperation of adjoining territories in general. These agreements touch on only some aspects of interaction between a number of the Russian Federation constituents and border territories of other neighbouring countries.  One of the most important forms of cross-border cooperation is the cross-border trade. Therefore, in order to further regulate the process of cross-border trade in Russia, it is necessary to study the experience of cross-border cooperation with foreign states and incorporate all necessary elements into the Russian legal system.  The author of the artile analyzes global experience of cross-border cooperation and defines the main problems arising in cross-border trade relations in Russia. The author suggests particular approaches to solution of these problems. The author offers to make particular amendments to the current law of the Russian Federation and to implement the Development Concept of Cross-Border Trade.
