Is the organization or individual entrepreneur included in the inspection plan of this or that department in 2018? How to check it? Are these plans summarized on the website of the Prosecutor General's Office? Let's answer these questions.

Consolidated inspection plan

Scheduled inspections by ministries and departments are carried out on the basis of annually approved plans. Such checks are called scheduled. Departments post their plans on their websites. This is required in parts 3 and 5 of Article 9 of Chapter 2 of the Federal Law of December 26, 2008 No. 294-FZ. The consolidated plan of inspections for all departments for 2018 is posted on the website of the Prosecutor General's Office. It is there that you can check whether inspections of the organization and individual entrepreneurs are planned in 2018.

To find out whether a company or individual entrepreneur should wait for inspectors from regulatory authorities in 2018, you will need to enter the following data in a special search form (all at once or some of them):

• OGRN;
• name of company;
• month of verification;
• name of the state control body;
• the address.

Plans on the websites of ministries and departments

You can also look for yourself in the inspection plans on the website of specific ministries and departments. Further in the table we provide a link to sites with inspection plans for 2018.

Inspection ban

For small businesses, there are supervisory holidays for three years: in 2016-2018, small businesses should not come with a scheduled inspection. This applies to inspections by Rostrud, the Federal Migration Service of Russia, Rostekhnadzor and Gospozhnadzor. However, this does not apply to tax audits and audits of insurance premiums (Article 26.1 of Federal Law No. 294-FZ of December 26, 2008).

The ban on verification does not apply to organizations and entrepreneurs who, in the three years preceding the verification, were held liable in the form of:

• disqualifications;
• administrative suspension of activities;
• revocation or suspension of a license.

Plans for inspections by regulatory authorities are information that is published annually by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. A consolidated plan of inspections has already been published on the website of the department legal entities for 2019. For those who find their enterprise in it, it is better to prepare for the visit of the inspectors in advance. To learn how to search for your company in the registry and what to use when preparing for the arrival of an inspector, read the article.

Legislative framework and timing of publication of information on planned supervisory activities

All information about inspections of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs is accumulated by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation; The official website publishes the inspection plan for 2019 in accordance with the requirements of Part 7 of Article 9 of Chapter 2 of Federal Law No. 294 "On the Protection of the Rights of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs in the Implementation of State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control". This online resource is called "Consolidated plan for inspections of business entities for 2019". The website of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation published a summary plan of inspections for 2019 at the end of 2018.

In addition, similar lists of planned supervisory activities carried out by regional regulatory authorities should be published by the prosecutor's offices of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and many have already done this, for example, plans for 2019 can be viewed:

Each organization and individual entrepreneur should look for themselves in two lists at once: federal and regional.

Inspection plans of regulatory agencies in 2019

In addition to publishing a consolidated register of those being checked on the website of the Prosecutor General's Office, there is also a special service (which is also operated by the Russian prosecutor's office) - FSIS "Unified Register of Inspections". It differs from the information on the main website of the Prosecutor's Office in that it shows information not only about the planned control measures, but also about those that have already been completed or are still taking place at the moment. To use this resource, you need to enter not just the name of the organization, but also other details. The input form looks like this:

Although there is more information in the Register, in order to find out whether it is necessary to expect a visit of inspectors in 2019, a master plan is enough. It's easy to use.

How to find out about the planned visit of inspectors

All information about control measures is checked, clarified and published by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation (official website); the inspection plan for 2019 will show information on a specific organization based on its name, TIN and OGRN in the context of:

• months of the visit of inspectors;
• the name of the controlling agency.

If there are fears that, for example, Rospotrebnadzor is going to visit you, and you want to know about it in advance, look first on the website regional government of this department, look for the section "Scheduled inspections of Rospotrebnadzor for 2019: plan and schedule of inspections." Information appears on the regional websites of departments and prosecutors earlier than on the centralized website. The same applies to information about what Roszdravnadzor plans: the inspection plan for 2019 will definitely be included in the consolidated register - information will appear there before the end of the year.

If you do not find your company in the list, the inspectors will not come. True, they can come unscheduled, there are enough reasons for this. In addition, the register does not cover control activities carried out as part of:

• investigative actions and operational-search activities;
• administration of justice;
• prosecutor's supervision;
• financial and banking supervision;
• currency control;
• investigations into the causes and consequences of man-made, natural or infectious emergencies;
• administrative investigation (previously open);
• investigation of accidents at work;
• antimonopoly control based on insider information.

Separately, it must be remembered that at least 3 years must pass from the moment of state registration of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur to be included in the register. A similar period must elapse from the moment the last planned supervisory activity is completed by the same supervisory authority.

Until 12/31/2018, in accordance with the provisions of Article 26.1 of the Federal Law No. 294-FZ, there was a ban on planned supervisory activities in relation to small businesses. However, this moratorium expired at the end of 2018. But at the end of December, the deputies adopted Federal Law No. 480-FZ of December 25, 2018, which adds Article 26.2 to FZ-294 and extends the moratorium on inspections for small businesses until the end of 2020.

However, this article provides a rather impressive list of exceptions. The moratorium on inspections of SMEs does not apply if:

• the audit is carried out using a risk-based approach (see the list below);
• the object of verification is included in a special list of enterprises to which the moratorium does not apply (these are healthcare, education, social services, enterprises of heat and electricity supply, energy saving and energy efficiency);
• earlier the enterprise was assigned administrative responsibility, and less than 3 years have passed since then;
• the company conducts licensed activities;
• the verification concerns radiation, nuclear safety, the preservation of state secrets, etc.

Using checklists

By the way, we remind you that from 01/01/2018, many departments carry out control using checklists (unfortunately, Tax office does not use checklists).

If you see that your company is also awaiting scheduled inspections for 2019 (the official website of the prosecutor's office included your organization in the register), we recommend using the checklists of departments planning to pay you a visit. This will help you prepare for the controls. You can find checklists in the relevant departmental orders - here are just a few:

• Rosprirodnadzor (in the implementation of environmental, land, water supervision, control of waste management, protection of subsoil, air and the ozone layer) - Order of Rosprirodnadzor dated September 18, 2017 No. 447;
• Rospotrebnadzor (control over catering establishments, trade, beauty industry) - Order of Rospotrebnadzor dated September 18, 2017 No. 860;
• Fire supervision (control of compliance with the requirements fire safety) - Order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia dated June 28, 2018 No. 261;
• Supervision in the field of civil defense and emergency situations - Order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia dated February 27, 2018 No. 78;
• Labor Inspectorate - Order of Rostrud dated November 10, 2017 No. 655;
• Roszdravnadzor (regarding the handling of medicines) - Order of Roszdravnadzor dated December 20, 2017 No. 10449;
• Roskomnadzor -

Bodies of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation supervise the observance of the law during inspections of business entities by various regulatory authorities. The inspection plan, which is annually formed and approved by the prosecutor's office, is drawn up according to the data of the supervisory authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (Rospotrebnadzor, Gostrudinspektsiya, Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergencies, Roszdravnadzor, the Department of Education, etc.). We will tell you in this article how the annual “testing” plan of entrepreneurs and firms is being formed, and who it will affect in 2018.

Consolidated plan of inspections of the prosecutor's office for 2018

Until September 1 of each year, regional supervisory authorities draw up plans for inspections of economic entities in their region and send them to the regional prosecutor's office for approval. The task of the prosecutor's office is to check whether the submitted projects comply with the norms of the law. If there are no comments, the verification plan is returned back to the supervisory authority, which approves it, and before November 1, the plan is again sent to the prosecutor's office in the final approved form.

The reasons why the prosecutor's office may refuse to conduct supervisory and control measures are the lack of grounds for verification, non-compliance with the deadlines for periodicity, or the presence false information about a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.

Thus, out of almost 8,000 applications, the Moscow Prosecutor’s Office approved the inspection plan for 2018 only for 6454 business entities. The prosecutor's office of the Stavropol Territory approved the inspection plan for 2018, including 6897 proposals for inspections by state control bodies, and rejecting 688 due to violation of the law.

The prosecutor’s office of the Republic of Karelia reduced the inspection plan for 2018 by more than 300 applications due to their unfoundedness. After “screening out” 473 illegal applications, approved by the prosecutor’s office of the Ivanovo region, the inspection plan for 2018 includes 1904 events. For the same reasons, the Bashprocuracy excluded more than 450 applications from the consolidated inspection plan for 2018, and the Mordovia prosecutor's office reduced the inspection plan for 2018 by 651, leaving 1,600 planned events.

For whom did the Prosecutor General's Office approve the inspection plan?

During scheduled inspections of business entities, various control bodies check:

• compliance mandatory requirements legislation by organizations and individual entrepreneurs,
• compliance of information from notifications on the commencement of activities for a particular type of entrepreneurship with the provisions of the law.

The plan of inspections adopted by the Prosecutor General's Office does not include information on inspections by tax, customs, currency control authorities, on control over the use of personal data and on compliance with anti-terrorism legislation.

The prosecutor’s office may not include all business entities in the inspection plan for 2018: from 01/01/2016 to 12/31/2018 there is a moratorium on scheduled inspections of all small businesses, so those who fall into this category should be checked in 2018 should not (Article 26.1 of the Law of December 26, 2008 No. 294-FZ).

In addition, a scheduled inspection is possible only in relation to firms and individual entrepreneurs, from the date of registration of which at least 3 years have passed. The same period must elapse from the date of completion of the previous similar scheduled inspection on the same basis (unscheduled inspections are not taken into account). Newly created individual entrepreneurs and organizations are included in the "test" plan no earlier than 3 years after the start of business.

There are exceptions to the above rules: despite belonging to the representatives of the SMP, the prosecutor’s office and other supervisory authorities on the plan of inspections-2018 legal basis may include:

• "administrative violators" who have been held accountable for gross offenses or have been deprived of a license for the right to operate over the past 3 years;
• entities whose activities belong to the so-called "risk" types and are included in the list established by the Government.

Regardless of the given terms, scheduled inspections can be carried out annually, or every 2 years for organizations and individual entrepreneurs operating in the social, education and in healthcare (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 23, 2009 No. 944 as amended on January 20, 2011).

If the plan of prosecutorial inspections for 2018 mistakenly includes a subject who, by all indications, should not be checked, he needs to write to the appropriate inspection state body an application for exclusion from the plan of annual inspections (clause 3, article 26.1 of the law of December 26, 2008 No. 294-FZ ).

How to find out if the Prosecutor General's Office included you in the inspection plan for 2018

In accordance with the law, the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation published the plan of inspections for 2018 after approval on its official website on December 28, 2017. The register of scheduled inspections contains control measures conducted by supervisory authorities in accordance with Law No. 294-FZ. It indicates the purpose of the audit, the timing of its conduct, the supervisory authority, information on the assignment of a risk category to a particular activity of the audited persons, etc.

In 2018, in Russia as a whole, inspections will take place at 350 thousand individual entrepreneurs and organizations. Any business entity can check whether it is on the general "checking" list.
