MONITORING THE STATE OF ECONOMIC CRIME IN THE MACROREGION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE NORTH-WESTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT)

Abstract

Economic crime in Russia for many decades has been the object of close attention of domestic economists - scientists and practitioners. There is no doubt that the creation of a shadow flow is inextricably linked with the commission of economic crimes. The formation of relationships between legal and shadow economic entities leads to the emergence of economic obligations, the failure to fulfill which, in its economic and legal essence, is the commission of an offense. Thus, failure to fulfill obligations to pay taxes and statutory fees is a criminally punishable act, responsibility for which is established in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. If we consider non-payment of taxes as a consequence, then this may be preceded by the implementation of fictitious entrepreneurship, the creation of demand for subjects (organizers) of illegal banking activities. Illegal entrepreneurship may be associated with various types of fraud aimed at extracting shadow income or obtaining illegitimate economic benefits. All of the above is illegal and harms the economic system of the country, violates its structural integrity and reduces resistance to negative factors.
The article presents the author's approach to monitoring economic crime, presents the results of the analysis of statistical data on the dynamics of registered, pre-investigated, unsolved economic crimes in the North-Western Federal District. The trends of changes in the level of economic crime in the border regions of the North-Western Federal District per 100 thousand people are presented.
