State and municipal financial control. Encyclopedia of solutions

In the Russian Federation, a system of municipal financial control has developed, in relation to which regulatory legal regulation is carried out in accordance with Section IX “State (municipal) financial control” of the Budget Code of the Russian Federation, Federal Law No. activities of the control and accounting bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities” and other regulatory legal acts.

According to article 265 of the RF BC, municipal financial control is carried out in order to ensure compliance with the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations.

Municipal financial control is divided into external and internal, preliminary and subsequent.

External municipal financial control in the sphere of budgetary legal relations is the control activity of the bodies of municipalities ( Art. 265 BK RF).

To the powers of the authorities external municipal financial control relate ( Art. 268.1 BC RF):

Control over compliance with the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations in the course of budget execution;

Control over the reliability, completeness and compliance with regulatory requirements for the preparation and presentation of budget reports of the main administrators of budget funds, quarterly and annual reports on budget execution;

Control in other areas established by the Federal Law dated 07.02.2011 No. 6-FZ"On the general principles of organization and activities of the control and accounting bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities."

Municipal formations create control and accounting bodies in their territories in accordance with the norms federal law No. 6-FZ. Control and accounting bodies of the municipality are accountable to the representative body of the municipality.

The control and accounting bodies carry out their activities on the basis of plans that are developed and approved by them independently ( Art. 12 Federal Law No. 6-FZ). The results of control measures are reflected by the control bodies in the inspection report. Based on the results of control measures, the control and accounting bodies of municipalities have the right to submit to local governments and municipal bodies, audited bodies and organizations and their officials submissions for their consideration and taking measures to eliminate the identified violations and shortcomings, prevention of causing material damage to the municipality or compensation for the harm caused, to bring to justice the officials responsible for the violations, as well as measures to suppress, eliminate and prevent violations.



In case of detection of violations requiring urgent measures to suppress and prevent them, as well as in case of obstruction by officials of control and accounting bodies of control measures, control and accounting bodies send to local governments and municipal bodies, audited bodies and organizations and their officials instructions (Art. sixteen Federal Law No. 6-FZ). Non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of the instructions of the control and accounting body entails liability established by the legislation of the Russian Federation and (or) the legislation of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

The activities of the control and accounting bodies of municipalities are regulated, in addition to Constitution RF, federal law No. 6-FZ, and other regulatory legal acts of municipalities - for example, Decision Council of Deputies of the Pavlovo-Posadsky Municipal District of the Moscow Region of June 26, 2015 No. 172/12 “On Approval of the Regulations on the Chamber of Control and Accounts of the Pavlovsky-Posadsky Municipal District of the Moscow Region”, Decision of the Oryol City Council of People’s Deputies dated November 29, 2012 No. 27/0483-GS "On approval of the Regulations on the Chamber of Control and Accounts of the city of Orel". On the territory of each municipality there are their own legal acts regulating the activities of the control bodies of the respective municipality. It should be noted that in many respects the provisions of these documents are similar to the norms established in relation to the activities of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, federal law No. 41-FZ, Regulation Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation.



Internal municipal financial control in the field of budgetary legal relations - the control activities of the municipal financial control bodies, which are respectively the bodies (officials) of the executive power of local administrations, financial bodies of municipalities.

According to article 269.2 of the RF BC, the powers of internal municipal financial control bodies to exercise internal municipal financial control are:

control over compliance with the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations;

control over the completeness and reliability of reporting on the implementation of municipal programs, including reporting on the implementation of municipal tasks.

Municipal financial control is also divided into preliminary and subsequent.

Preliminary control is carried out in order to prevent and suppress budget violations in the process of executing the budgets of the budget system of the Russian Federation. Subsequent control is carried out based on the results of the execution of the budgets of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation in order to establish the legality of their execution, the reliability of accounting and reporting.

Internal (departmental) financial control. In addition to municipal financial control, the norms of the Budget Code contain a requirement for the implementation by the main administrators (administrators) of budget funds, the main administrators (administrators) of budget revenues, the main administrators (administrators) of sources of financing the budget deficit for their implementation internal financial control and internal financial audit. In addition, the current legislation contains requirements for the conduct by the bodies exercising the powers of the founder, control over the activities of subordinate state, budgetary and autonomous institutions. Currently, the term “departmental financial control” is excluded from the provisions of the RF BC by Federal Law No. 252-FZ dated July 23, 2013 “On Amendments to the Budget Code of the Russian Federation and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation”, however, in order not to confuse internal municipal financial control and internal financial control exercised by managers and administrators of budgetary funds, we will continue to use this term, especially since it is again introduced by the financial department into circulation.

Article 19 of the Federal Law "On Accounting" obliges all economic entities to exercise internal control over all transactions, events, operations that have or are able to affect the financial position of an economic entity, the financial result of its activities and (or) cash flow. Internal control is a process aimed at obtaining sufficient assurance that an economic entity provides:

The efficiency and effectiveness of its activities, including the achievement of financial and operational indicators, the safety of assets;

Reliability and timeliness of accounting (financial) and other reporting;

Compliance with applicable laws, including when committing the facts of economic life and maintaining accounting records.

The procedure for organizing internal control, including the duties and powers of divisions and personnel of an economic entity, are determined depending on the nature and scale of the activity of an economic entity, the features of its management system.

Internal control, as a rule, is carried out by: 1) management bodies of an economic entity; 2) the audit commission (auditor) of the economic entity; 3) the chief accountant or other official of the economic entity who is responsible for accounting (an individual or legal entity with whom the economic entity has entered into an agreement on the provision of accounting services); 4) an internal auditor (internal audit service) of an economic entity; 5) special officials, a special subdivision of an economic entity responsible for compliance with the rules of internal control provided for by other federal laws; 6) other personnel and subdivisions of the economic entity.

The organization and assessment of internal control may be carried out by an economic entity independently and/or by an external consultant (including an audit organization).

To organize internal control, an economic entity may create a special unit (internal control service).

The legislation of the Russian Federation on accounting does not establish any requirements or restrictions in relation to the procedure for exercising internal control, as well as in relation to its methods and procedures.

Control over subordinate budgetary and autonomous institutions. Financial support for the fulfillment of the municipal task by budgetary and autonomous institutions is carried out in the form of a subsidy, the amount of which is calculated on the basis of the standard costs for the provision of municipal services within the framework of the municipal task and the standard costs for the maintenance of real estate and especially valuable movable property assigned to the institution or acquired by it at the expense of funds allocated by the founder (with the exception of leased property), as well as for the payment of taxes, the object of taxation of which is the said property, including land plots.

According to Art. 78.1 The Budgetary Code of the Russian Federation in the budgets of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation provides for subsidies to budgetary and autonomous institutions for financial support for the fulfillment of their municipal tasks (hereinafter referred to as the subsidy).

Consequently, after the subsidy is written off in accordance with the established procedure from the single account of the budget and credited to the account of the budgetary institution, the specified subsidy loses the status of the funds of the corresponding budget. These funds are not subject to the requirements of the budget legislation.

In accordance with clause 5.1 of Art. 32 of the Law on Non-Commercial Organizations, control over the activities of budgetary and state institutions is carried out in the manner established by the local administration of the municipality - in relation to municipal budgetary and state institutions.

For autonomous institutions, a similar procedure is established clause 3.23 of Art. 2 Federal Law No. 174-FZ of November 3, 2006 “On Autonomous Institutions”.

Municipal institutions must carry out accounting in accordance with the requirements Budget Code, the Law on Accounting, and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation regulating accounting. Due to the rules Art. nineteen of the Law on Accounting, institutions are obliged to independently organize and exercise internal control over the facts of economic life (the facts of economic life mean a transaction, event, operation that have or can affect the financial position of the institution, the financial result of its activities and (or) cash flow The order of organization and provision (implementation) by the institution of internal financial control should be fixed in the accounting policy.

Here are some examples of violations of budget legislation.

Misappropriation of public funds. According to the provisions of art. 306.4 of the RF BC, the misuse of budgetary funds is the allocation of budgetary funds of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation and the payment of monetary obligations for purposes that do not fully or partially correspond to the goals defined by the law (decision) on the budget, consolidated budget list, budget list, budget estimate, contract (agreement) or other document that is the legal basis for the provision of these funds.

In order to determine the violation of budgetary legislation, including the misuse of budgetary funds, in each specific situation, a discrepancy between the fact of a financial and economic operation being carried out and the specific provisions of regulatory legal acts and other documents that caused this violation is revealed, and full arguments are made to confirm the conclusions about the violation. All inconsistencies that can be attributed to evidence of a violation of budget legislation, as well as the conditions for conducting an illegal operation, and primary documentation confirming its composition are analyzed. On the basis of the indicated data on a specific situation, the persons carrying out control measures determine violations of the budget legislation ( Letter Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated January 21, 2014 No. 02-10-11 / 1763).

V article 34 The RF BC establishes the principle of effectiveness and efficiency in the use of budgetary funds, which means that when drawing up and executing budgets, participants in the budgetary process, within the framework of the budgetary powers granted to them, must proceed from the need to achieve the desired results using the smallest amount of funds or achieve the best result using the volume determined by the budget funds.

In this regard, a specific expenditure transaction can be recognized as inefficient spending of budget funds only if the authorized body proves that the tasks assigned to the participant in the budget process could be completed using a smaller amount of funds or that, using the amount of funds determined by the budget, the participant in the budget process could achieve a better result item 23 Decree of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation No. 23). Thus, despite the fact that the inspectors during the audit qualify one or another fact of the economic life of the audited institution as an inefficient use of funds, the courts often recognize this position of the inspectors as unreasonable, since it is extremely difficult to prove the rationality and effectiveness of another option for using funds. The Supreme Arbitration Court in the above-mentioned resolution recommends that the courts, when assessing the observance by the participants of the budgetary process of the principle of efficiency and effectiveness, take into account that the participants in the budgetary process, within the framework of the implementation of the tasks assigned to them and within the limits of the budgetary funds allocated for certain purposes, independently determine the need, expediency and economic feasibility of committing specific spending transaction.

The following violations can also be attributed to financial violations: misappropriation of budget funds, transactions without supporting documents, illegal payment for unfulfilled work (services not rendered), illegal settlement transactions, overpayment and improper payment of wages, non-transfer of budget funds to the budget, violations when using state (municipal) property, violations of accounting rules, violations in the implementation of state (municipal) procurement and procurement by certain types of legal entities, violations of tax legislation, other violations that entail the use of coercive measures.

As already noted, if, as a result of municipal control, violations in financial and economic activities are revealed, the control body will be obliged to send a submission or instruction (and sometimes both), containing, among other things, a requirement to eliminate the violations that have been thrown out.

Identification of violations in financial and economic activities requires the adoption of measures to develop a set of measures - both to eliminate data and to prevent such violations in the future. At the same time, it does not matter how such violations will be detected: independently during internal control or by municipal control bodies. In the latter case, the requirement to eliminate the violation will be issued in the form of a presentation or instruction, failure to comply with which may result in bringing the organization and its officials to administrative responsibility.

Due to the fact that the Federal Law does not specifically indicate the competence of the executive body of the municipality (for example, the local administration), it can be any body authorized by the charter of the municipality or other legal act of local self-government.

Bodies of state power (state bodies) are formed at the levels of the Russian Federation and subjects of the Russian Federation, and local governments (municipal bodies) - in municipalities.

- subsequent control - in the course of consideration and approval of reports on the execution of budgets.

To date, the Russian Federation has developed a three-level system of municipal financial control. Subjects financial control in accordance with the Budget Code of the Russian Federation (Article 266, Part 1) are:

a) federal bodies - the Federal Service for Financial and Budgetary Supervision, the Federal Treasury;

Federal Law No. 6-FZ dated February 7, 2011 “On the General Principles of Organization and Activities of the Control and Accounts Bodies of the Subjects of the Russian Federation and Municipalities” formulates the general principles of organization, activities and main powers of the control and accounting bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the control and accounting bodies of municipal formations.

According to Article 3 of this law, the relevant control and accounting bodies are formed by the legislative (representative) body of state power of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation and the representative body of the municipality, are permanent bodies of external state (respectively - municipal) financial control, accountable to the representative bodies that formed them.

The regional legislation of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, in accordance with federal legislation, establishes a list of bodies authorized to exercise financial control in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

State and municipal financial control in the Belgorod region is carried out by:

Belgorod Regional Duma;

Chamber of Control and Accounts of the Belgorod Region;

Representative bodies of municipalities;

Chief managers (managers) of budgetary funds;

Chief administrators (administrators) of budget revenues;

Chief administrators (administrators) of sources of financing the budget deficit;

Body exercising financial management functions;

Financial authorities of municipalities;

As well as other executive authorities of the Belgorod region, state bodies of the Belgorod region, local administrations authorized to do so by the laws of the Belgorod region, regulatory legal acts of the government of the Belgorod region, municipal legal acts of local administrations.

The charter of the Belgorod Regional Duma determines: in order to control the execution of the regional budget and the efficient use of the property of the Belgorod Region, the Belgorod Regional Duma forms the Chamber of Control and Accounts of the Belgorod Region, the status, composition and procedure of which is determined by the law of the Belgorod Region.

According to this law, the Chamber of Control and Accounts of the Belgorod Region is a permanent body of external state financial control, formed by the Belgorod Regional Duma and accountable to it. The powers of the Chamber of Control and Accounts include control over the legality, effectiveness (efficiency and economy) of the use of interbudgetary transfers provided from the regional budget to the budgets of municipalities located on the territory of the Belgorod Region, as well as checking the local budget in cases established by the Budget Code of the Russian Federation.

The representative bodies of municipalities, in accordance with federal and regional legislation, form the bodies of municipal financial control.

The charter of the Yakovlevsky district of the Belgorod region provides for the formation of a control and counting commission of the municipal district. The regulation on the commission provides for a wide range of its powers:

1) control over the execution of the budget of the municipal district "Yakovlevsky district";

2) examination of the draft budget of the municipal district "Yakovlevsky district";

3) external verification of the annual report on the execution of the budget of the municipal district "Yakovlevsky district";

4) organizing and exercising control over the legality, effectiveness (efficiency and economy) of the use of funds from the budget of the Yakovlevsky district, as well as funds received by the budget of the Yakovlevsky district from other sources provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation;

5) control over compliance with the established procedure for managing and disposing of property owned by the Yakovlevsky district, including protected results of intellectual activity and means of individualization owned by the Yakovlevsky district;

6) assessing the effectiveness of providing tax and other benefits and benefits, budget loans at the expense of the local budget, as well as assessing the legality of providing municipal guarantees and guarantees or securing the fulfillment of obligations in other ways for transactions made by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs at the expense of the local budget and property owned by the municipality;

7) financial and economic expertise of draft municipal legal acts (including the validity of financial and economic justifications) insofar as it relates to the expenditure obligations of the Yakovlevsky District municipal district, as well as municipal programs;

8) analysis of the budgetary process in the Yakovlevsky district and preparation of proposals aimed at its improvement;

9) preparation of information on the implementation of the budget of the Yakovlevsky district, on the results of the control and expert-analytical activities carried out and submission of such information to the Municipal Council of the Yakovlevsky district and the head of the administration of the Yakovlevsky district;

10) control over the legality, effectiveness (efficiency and economy) of the use of budget funds of the municipal district "Yakovlevsky district", received by the budgets of settlements that are part of the Yakovlevsky district;

11) exercising the powers of external municipal financial control in the settlements that are part of the Yakovlevsky district, in accordance with the agreements concluded by the Municipal Council of the Yakovlevsky district with the representative bodies of the settlements;

12) analysis of the data of the register of expenditure obligations of the municipal district "Yakovlevsky district" to identify the correspondence between the expenditure obligations of the Yakovlevsky district included in the register of expenditure obligations and expenditure obligations planned for financing in the next financial year in accordance with the draft budget of the municipality;

13) control over the progress and results of the implementation of programs and plans for the development of the Yakovlevsky district;

14) other powers in the field of external municipal financial control established by federal laws, laws of the Belgorod Region, the Charter of the municipal district "Yakovlevsky District" and regulatory legal acts of the Municipal Council of the Yakovlevsky District.

External financial control is carried out by the Control and Accounts Commission:

1) in relation to municipal bodies, municipal institutions and municipal unitary enterprises, as well as other organizations, if they use property owned by the municipal district;

2) in relation to other organizations by checking compliance with the conditions for their receipt of subsidies, loans, guarantees at the expense of the local budget in order to control the activities of the main managers (managers) and recipients of local budget funds that provided these funds, in cases where the possibility of checking these organizations is established in contracts for the provision of subsidies, loans, guarantees at the expense of the local budget.

As follows from the above analysis, the law delimits the powers of regulatory authorities in the three-level system of municipal financial control.

The federal bodies shall have the right to exercise financial control over municipal formations on the use of federal resources (financial and material) for their intended purpose, transferred to the municipal formation in connection with the vesting of certain state powers on matters within the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation in accordance with federal laws.

The financial authorities of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation exercise control over similar issues in connection with the vesting of a municipal formation with separate state powers on issues of conducting constituent entities of the Russian Federation in accordance with the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with Federal Law No. 131-FZ, only municipal districts and urban districts are vested with such powers, but not urban and rural settlements.

Regardless of the level, all statutory financial control bodies are required to be guided by standards external state and municipal financial control.

In accordance with Article 11 of the Federal Law “On the General Principles of Organization and Activities of Control and Accounts Bodies of the Subjects of the Russian Federation and Municipalities” dated 07.02.2011 No. 6-FZ, standards for external state and municipal financial control for conducting control and expert-analytical activities are approved by - counting bodies.

The standards of external state and municipal financial control for carrying out control and expert-analytical activities are approved by the control and accounting bodies:

1) in relation to public authorities and state bodies, bodies of territorial state non-budgetary funds, local governments and municipal bodies, state and municipal institutions and unitary enterprises of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation or municipalities - in accordance with the general requirements approved by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation and (or) the control and accounting body of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation;

2) in relation to other organizations - in accordance with the general requirements established by federal law.

The existing system of municipal financial control is criticized due to its lack of efficiency, inability to stop and prevent large-scale violations in the financial sphere of local government, including the misuse of municipal finances. The reason for this V.A. Artamonov sees in excessively bloated legislation (relations in the field of financial control are currently regulated by more than 260 laws, decrees, resolutions and other legal acts), which does not ensure coordination and interaction between control and financial authorities, and sometimes, on the contrary, contributes to control activities inconsistency.

N.I. Danilenko believes that the domestic system of state and municipal financial control needs to be reformed. According to the author, the main directions for the development of a unified system of state and municipal financial control could include:

Formation of the goal of reforming the system of state and municipal financial control in accordance with the economic and financial policy of the state;

Definition of the main tasks in the field of financial control to achieve the goal;

Introduction of new modern forms and methods of control work, ensuring the effective functioning of all state and municipal financial control bodies in the overall system;

Establishment of mechanisms for the interaction of all structural elements of the system;

Development and legal consolidation of documents on the functioning of a unified system of state and municipal financial control bodies;

Integration of a unified system of financial control bodies with other parts of the state administration system;

Improving the mechanism of interaction with law enforcement agencies;

Study and implementation into practice of foreign experience in the control activities of financial control bodies;

Implementation of scientific activities in the field of state and municipal control.

This is a statement of the problem in the most general form, and not aimed at the final result. In addition, declaring the idea of ​​creating a unified system of state and municipal financial control, the author believes that it is possible to preserve all the current control bodies.

This is a dead end path.

Redefining the tasks of the existing financial control bodies, which have proven their inability to provide effective counteraction to the misuse of municipal (as well as state) finances, will not give the result expected by society.

The main drawback of the current system, especially at the municipal level, is that the control body is only formally designated as an "external" control body. In fact, this body is more or less dependent on the municipal authorities, if only because it is established by this authority and reports to this authority, presenting to it the results of the control and expert-analytical activities carried out. This body is not endowed with a punitive function - at least in its mildest form. By stating a fact, even a blatant one, the control body is not empowered to take measures of at least a minimal response. As a result, violations are either ignored or hushed up, which leads to huge losses throughout the country, estimated at almost a trillion rubles annually.

In view of the foregoing, the existing system of financial control should not be modernized, but radically reorganized.

Conclusion.

As a result of a rather difficult search, the federal legislator, starting from the fundamental provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, formulated the general principles of the economic basis of local self-government in modern Russia.

According to the Federal Law "On the General Principles of Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation", the composition of the economic basis includes municipal property, property rights of municipalities and local budgets. Municipal property and part of the property rights of the municipality constitute the material, material part of the economic basis. The local budget and the rest of the property rights form the financial basis of local self-government.

In the aggregate of the constituent elements, the economic basis is intended for the comprehensive and full satisfaction of the vital needs of the population of the municipality. The experience and practice of functioning of local self-government bodies shows that the created legal base of municipal economic relations is sufficient to solve this comprehensive task. This is facilitated by equalizing the level of budgetary security of settlements, municipal districts (urban districts), carried out through financial support of municipalities from the budgets of the federal and regional levels.

The problem of exercising the economic rights of a municipality lies outside the economic foundations of local self-government. It is connected with violations of the law committed by certain officials of local self-government in terms of the use of municipal property and budgetary funds. The task of municipal financial control bodies and law enforcement agencies in these conditions is to effectively counteract such abuses.

Internal state (municipal) financial control

Internal state (municipal) financial control in the field of budgetary legal relations is carried out by executive authorities (local administrations of municipalities) throughout the public law education. Such control, first of all, is focused on a significant reduction in the risks of illegal and misuse of budgetary funds, including in terms of powers to control procurement (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated January 28, 2014 N 02-11-09 / 3021).

Bodies of state (municipal) financial control of subjects (municipalities) * (2)

Federal Treasury

Financial authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities (authorized bodies)


The functions of the bodies of internal and external state (municipal) financial control are partly duplicated. In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of control measures in relation to the same objects of control, agreements on information exchange between such bodies may be concluded (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 06.24.2013 N 02-07-10 / 23809). In addition, it is advisable to coordinate the work on planning control measures between the territorial bodies of the federal financial supervision authority and the financial supervision authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation (paragraph 5 of the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 04.08.2015 N 02-10-09 / 45065).

Attention

Financial authorities may be empowered to exercise internal financial control, provided for in Art. 269.2 of the RF BC, however, this is possible only if the possibility of a conflict of interest is excluded (see letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated October 30, 2013 N 02-11-005 / 46166). Structural units (officials) exercising control powers must have organizational and functional autonomy in relation to structural units (officials) involved in the preparation and organization of budget execution and (or) budget accounting (see letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated November 25, 2013 N 02-11-010/50647, dated 12/18/2013 N 02-06-010/54151).

The activities of the above bodies are regulated:


The powers of the bodies for the implementation of internal state (municipal) financial control include:

Bodies providing cash services (carrying out cash transactions) * (4)

1. Compliance follow-up:

Budget legislation of the Russian Federation;

Other normative legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations.

2. Control over the completeness and reliability of reporting:

On the implementation of state (municipal) programs;

On the execution of state (municipal) assignments

1. Control over the non-excess of the transaction amount over the limits of budgetary obligations and (or) budgetary appropriations.

2. Control over the compliance of the content of the operation with the budget classification code of the Russian Federation specified in the payment document.

3. Control over the availability of documents confirming the occurrence of a monetary obligation payable at the expense of the budget.

4. Control over the compliance of information about the budget obligation registered under the contract with the information about this contract contained in the register of contracts

The powers of the relevant bodies of internal state (municipal) financial control include verification of compliance by financial bodies (main managers (managers) and recipients of budget funds to which interbudgetary transfers are provided) purposes, procedure and conditions for the provision of interbudgetary transfers, budget loans, as well as their achievement of performance indicators for the use of these funds that correspond to the targets and indicators provided for by state programs (see, for example, subparagraphs "b" of paragraph 7 of Regulation N 1092). Giving financial supervision bodies such rights does not mean that they can exercise control over the activities of state bodies (local governments) of other public legal entities (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated September 12, 2014 N 02-10-10 / 45828). The fact is that compliance with the goals and conditions for the provision of interbudgetary transfers is not the authority of state bodies (local governments), but a mandatory requirement established when providing transfers in accordance with budget legislation * (5) .

Local self-government bodies of individual settlements that are part of a municipal district have the right transfer authority on internal municipal financial control to local self-government bodies of a municipal district on the basis of an agreement concluded in accordance with the RF BC (part 4 of article 15 of the Federal Law of October 6, 2003 N 131-FZ "On the general principles of organizing local self-government in the Russian Federation", further - Law N 131-FZ).

The current legislation does not provide for the possibility of transferring powers for internal state (municipal) financial control to an external state (municipal) financial control body.

Attention

Bodies of internal state (municipal) financial control are authorized to carry out procurement control(clause 3, part 1, parts 8 and 9, article 99 of the Federal Law of 04/05/2013 N 44-FZ, hereinafter - Law N 44-FZ; Rules N 1092). At the municipal level, the functions of control in the field of procurement, provided for in Part 8 and Part 3 of Art. 99 of Law N 44-FZ, can be assigned to one local government (paragraph 90 of the letter of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated September 30, 2014 N D28I-1889).

Checks can be carried out both at the planning stage (approval of procurement plans and schedules), and at the stage of execution of contracts (agreements).

The objects of internal state (municipal) financial control are the bodies, organizations, individual entrepreneurs and individuals listed in Art. 266.1 of the RF BC (see also clause 7 of Rules N 1092).

The objects of control, in particular, include any state (municipal) institutions (state, budgetary and autonomous). At the same time, in budgetary (autonomous) institutions, the purpose of carrying out control measures is to verify the completeness and reliability of reporting on the execution of state (municipal) tasks.


Methods for the implementation of internal state (municipal) financial control in accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 267.1 of the RF BC are:

Checks;

revisions;

surveys;

authorization of operations.

Authorization of transactions refers to the powers of the Federal Treasury (financial authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation or municipalities) (clause 2 of article 269.1 of the RF BC, clause 5.15 of Regulation N 703).

The control measures of the financial supervision authorities (scheduled and unscheduled) include inspections ( field and cameral, counter), audits, surveys (clause 2 of article 269.2 of the RF BC, clause 3 of Rules N 1092). At the same time, cross-checks are carried out within the framework of on-site and (or) cameral checks.

*(1) Until February 2, 2016, supervision was carried out by the now abolished Service for Financial and Budgetary Supervision (Rosfinnadzor). The functions of control and supervision in the financial and budgetary sphere have been transferred to the Federal Treasury.

*(2) The powers of the internal financial control body of the subject of the Russian Federation (municipal formation) include the implementation of control measures in public sector organizations of the public legal entity that created this body (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated December 26, 2014 N 02-10-11 / 67828) . The procedure for the exercise of powers by the internal financial control bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (municipalities) is determined by legal acts of the highest executive bodies of state power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (local administrations) (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 04.02.2016 N 02-10-06 / 5822).

*(3) It follows from the provisions of the current federal legislation that the financial supervision authorities have the right to check only the use of subsidies provided from the budgets, as well as issues of state (municipal) procurement. Accordingly, these bodies, as a rule, carry out verification of the operations of budgetary (autonomous) institutions for income-generating activities only to the extent that such activities have affected the fulfillment of the state (municipal) task. In addition, when checking the completeness and reliability of reporting on the implementation of state (municipal) programs, it may be possible to check the linkage of the target indicators of programs in which state (municipal) services are provided by budgetary and autonomous institutions with the corresponding indicators of state (municipal) assignments (see. in particular, the letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated December 30, 2013 N 02-01-009 / 58131; clause 48 of the Procedure, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated June 26, 2015 N 640).

State (municipal) financial control

The economic essence of the state (municipal) financial control (hereinafter referred to as GMFC) is to perform the feedback function in the public finance management system. The subject of state financial control is public finance, traditionally considered as a system of monetary relations established by the state, in the process of implementation of which the formation and spending of centralized monetary funds takes place.

In accordance with the RF BC, state financial control is understood as control in the public sector. The purpose of such control is to ensure compliance with the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations. Similarly, municipal financial control is carried out in the field of budgetary relations at the local level. As a subject of municipal control, one can consider budgetary relations that arise in the process of generating revenues and spending local budgets, implementing municipal borrowings, regulating municipal debt, and implementing the budget process.

From an organizational point of view, the GMFC is the activity of the authorized bodies of state power and local self-government to control:

  • for ensuring compliance with the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation and other legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations;
  • confirmation of the reliability, completeness and compliance with the regulatory requirements of budget reporting;
  • increasing the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of the use of funds from the budgets of the budget system of the Russian Federation.

The implementation of the feedback function in the system of state and municipal finance management is ensured through the implementation of control and auditing and expert and analytical measures aimed at ensuring compliance with the principles of legality, efficiency, effectiveness and expediency of managing budget funds and state (municipal) property at all stages of the budget process.

Modern budgetary legislation divides the GMFC into external and internal (according to the nature of the relationship between the subject and the object), as well as into preliminary and subsequent (by time). Based on these criteria, the structure of the bodies implementing the GMFC can be schematically represented as follows (Fig. 10.2.1).

Preliminary state (municipal) financial control is carried out in order to prevent and prevent violations of budget legislation in the process of authorizing operations and monitoring budget obligations. It plays the most important preventive role in the GMFC system, preventing violations.

Subsequent state (municipal) financial control carried out after the completion of financial and economic operations. The main goal of the subsequent GMFC is to identify and suppress violations of budget legislation. The GMFC bodies exercising subsequent financial control pay special attention to verifying complete and reliable reporting on the immediate results of the use of budgetary funds (within the framework of target programs and state (municipal) assignments). In addition, the most important task performed during the subsequent GMFC is to oversee the proper enforcement of the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation and other legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations in the object of control.

Rice. 10.2.1.

At present, the issue of distinguishing the current (operational) state (municipal) financial control remains debatable due to the absence of this concept in the RF BC. However, as the latter, one can consider the implementation of an operational analysis of the execution of the federal budget by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation.

The bodies that carry out the internal GMFC are included in the organizational structure of the executive power and local administrations. In accordance with the RF BC, such bodies include:

  • Federal Service for Financial and Budgetary Supervision (Rosfinnadzor);
  • Federal Treasury;
  • bodies of the GMFC, which are, respectively, bodies (officials) of the executive power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local administrations;
  • financial authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities.

The GMFC is carried out by these public authorities through the authorization of operations and the implementation of control and audit activities aimed at verifying compliance with the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations (hereinafter referred to as budgetary legislation), as well as the completeness and reliability of reporting on the implementation of state (municipal) ) programs, including reporting on the execution of state (municipal) assignments.

The Federal Service for Financial and Budgetary Supervision (Rosfinnadzor) monitors compliance with budgetary legislation in the course of using federal budget funds, interbudgetary transfers from the federal budget, funds from state non-budgetary funds and material assets owned by the federal government. In the course of carrying out control and supervisory activities in 2012, Rosfinnadzor verified the distribution and use of 4,772.56 billion rubles, including 2,513.75 billion rubles from the federal budget. Violations of legislation in the public sector were identified when using 749.64 billion rubles, which amounted to about 16% of the funds checked. Based on the materials submitted to law enforcement agencies, more than 100 criminal cases were initiated, and certain perpetrators were prosecuted1.

According to the latest amendments to the Budget Code of the Russian Federation, Rosfinnadzor's priority in the public sector will be to control the completeness and reliability of reporting on the implementation of government programs, including reporting on the execution of government assignments.

The Federal Treasury (financial authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities), through the authorization of operations, exercises control over:

  • for not exceeding the amount but the operation over the limits of budgetary obligations and (or) budgetary appropriations;
  • compliance of the content of the transaction with the budget classification code of the Russian Federation specified in the payment document submitted to the Federal Treasury by the recipient of budget funds;
  • availability of documents confirming the occurrence of a monetary obligation payable at the expense of the budget.

It is necessary to pay special attention to the internal financial control carried out by the main managers (managers) of budgetary funds - executive authorities that distribute budgetary funds to subordinate institutions. For example, the federal ministry, being the main manager of budget funds, distributes federal budget funds among subordinate federal state state institutions. The main managers are not bodies of state financial control, but they have a number of control powers. On the other hand, they themselves, along with their subordinate managers and recipients of budgetary funds, can act as objects of internal financial control, which in this case is aimed at verifying compliance with internal standards and procedures for drawing up and executing a budget for expenditures, drawing up budget reporting and maintaining budget accounting, and also the preparation and organization of measures to increase the economy and efficiency of the use of budgetary funds.

The main managers (managers) of budgetary funds, in addition to internal financial control, carry out internal financial audit. Internal audit is an activity to provide independent and objective guarantees and consultations aimed at improving the activities of an economic entity. Internal financial audit in the public sector includes an assessment of the reliability of internal financial control and preparation of recommendations to improve its efficiency, confirmation of the reliability of budget reporting and compliance of the budget accounting procedure with the methodology and budget accounting standards on an equal footing, as well as preparation of proposals to improve the economy and efficiency of the use of budget funds.

Bodies of external state (municipal) financial control from an organizational point of view are independent from the objects of control and are in the structure of the legislative (representative) branch of power. They include:

  • Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation;
  • control and accounting bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities.

State (municipal) financial control is carried out by these bodies through the implementation of control and audit activities, during which the observance of the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation in the course of budget execution and the reliability, completeness and compliance with regulatory requirements of reports on budget execution, as well as the implementation by the chief administrators of budgetary funds of internal financial control and internal financial audit.

The creation of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation in 1995 was associated with the practical introduction of democratic principles into the state structure and was an adaptation on Russian soil of advanced international experience in the field of state financial control. The Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation is created by the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and exercises various powers in the field of budgetary control: preliminary control at the stage of formation of a draft law on the federal budget, operational control over the timely execution of the revenue and expenditure parts of the federal budget, subsequent control at the stage of approving the conclusion on the execution of the federal budget. A unified system of control over the formation and execution of the federal budget and the budgets of state off-budget funds is shown in Fig. 10.2.2.

Rice. 10.2.2.

At first glance, it may seem that there is a duplication of control powers between Rosfinnadzor and the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation. However, firstly, the tasks and powers of these bodies are different and only partially complement each other, and secondly, the active position of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation plays an important role of "checks and balances" in the system of separation of powers provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation in order to comply with democratic principles.

The Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation and the control and accounting bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities also exercise budgetary powers:

  • but a performance audit aimed at determining the economy and effectiveness of the use of budgetary funds;
  • examination of draft laws (decisions) on the budget, other normative legal acts of the budget legislation of the Russian Federation, including the validity of indicators (parameters and characteristics) of the budget;
  • analysis and monitoring of the budget process, including the preparation of proposals for the elimination of identified deviations in the budget process and the improvement of the budget legislation of the Russian Federation.

An important issue is the definition of objects of state (municipal) financial control. In general, they can be divided into two groups. The first group of GMFC objects directly includes:

  • chief administrators (administrators, recipients) of budgetary funds, chief administrators (administrators) of budget revenues, chief administrators (administrators) of sources of financing the budget deficit;
  • financial bodies (other authorized executive bodies of state power and local administration) in terms of their compliance with the goals and conditions for the provision of interbudgetary transfers, budget loans provided from another budget of the budget system of the Russian Federation;
  • state (municipal) institutions;
  • state (municipal) unitary enterprises;
  • state corporations and companies;
  • business partnerships and companies with the participation of public legal entities in their authorized (share) capital.

GMFC in relation to the second group of objects is carried out only in terms of their compliance with the conditions for providing funds from the budget, in the process of checking the main managers (managers) of budget funds that provided them. Among them:

  • legal entities (with the exception of state (municipal) institutions, state (municipal) unitary enterprises, state corporations and companies, economic partnerships and companies with the participation of public legal entities in their authorized (share) capital), individual entrepreneurs, individuals - manufacturers of goods , works, services in terms of their compliance with the terms of contracts (agreements) on the provision of funds from the relevant budget of the budget system of the Russian Federation, contracts (agreements) on the provision of state or municipal guarantees;
  • management bodies of state non-budgetary funds;
  • legal entities receiving funds from the budgets of state non-budgetary funds under agreements on financial support for compulsory medical insurance;
  • credit institutions that carry out certain transactions with budgetary funds, in terms of their compliance with the terms of contracts (agreements) on the provision of funds from the corresponding budget of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation.

State and municipal financial control is implemented on the basis of a number of specific methods, the list of which is established by the Budget Code of the Russian Federation. These include audit, verification, examination and authorization of operations.

revision is a system of mandatory control actions, carried out mainly in a continuous way, for documentary and actual verification of financial and economic operations performed by the audited object in a certain period, as well as their reflection in accounting and reporting. During the audit, all financial and economic transactions are checked, while the following continuous checks of the most significant similar and interrelated transactions are carried out without fail: audit of cash, audit of settlements and audit of material assets; other financial and economic transactions can be checked in a selective way.

Under checking is understood as a set of control actions to study the main or individual issues and (or) areas of financial and economic activity, carried out, as a rule, in a selective way. The audit of financial and economic activities and the audit are distinguished by the fact that when conducting an audit, it is mandatory to carry out a continuous audit of especially significant similar and related transactions, while when auditing financial and economic activities, selective audits of the same type and interconnected transactions are carried out.

The Budget Code of the Russian Federation divides checks into visiting and cameral. Under visiting inspections are understood as inspections carried out at the location of the object of control, during which, among other things, the actual compliance of the operations performed with the data of the budget (accounting) statements and primary documents is determined. Under cameral inspections are understood as inspections carried out at the location of the state (municipal) financial control body on the basis of budgetary (accounting) statements and other documents submitted at its request.

Survey consists in the analysis and assessment of the state of a certain area of ​​activity of the object of control.

Authorization of operations consists in making a permissive inscription after checking the documents submitted for the purpose of financial transactions for their presence and (or) for the compliance of the information indicated in them with the requirements of the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts regulating budgetary legal relations.

Considering control activities from the point of view of development over time, the following stages can be distinguished: obtaining information about the state of the control object, comparing the data obtained with planned indicators, assessing the magnitude of deviations and the degree of their impact on the functioning of the control object, developing measures to eliminate the identified deviations, ensuring the implementation of the developed measures. These stages are practically implemented through the following procedures: planning a control event, its implementation, implementation of the information received, control over the implementation of decisions taken on its basis.

Of great importance is the question of the application of liability for budget violations. Chapter 29 of the RF BC provides for the application of budget enforcement measures for an action (inaction) committed in violation of budget legislation and contracts (agreements) on the basis of which funds are provided from the budgets of the budget system of the Russian Federation. Currently, the RF BC establishes liability (budget enforcement measures) for the following types of budget violations:

  • misuse of budgetary funds;
  • non-repayment or untimely repayment of a budget loan;
  • non-transfer or untimely transfer of fees for the use of a budget loan;
  • violation of the conditions for granting a budget loan;
  • violation of the conditions for the provision of interbudgetary transfers.

Financial authorities, chief administrators of budgetary funds, administrators of budgetary funds, recipients of budgetary funds, chief administrators of budget revenues, chief administrators of sources of financing the budget deficit can act as subjects liable for budget violations. It should be noted that the range of these entities is significantly narrower than the list of objects of state (municipal) financial control. The Budget Code of the Russian Federation provides for the following budget enforcement measures:

  • indisputable recovery of the amount of funds provided from one budget of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation to another budget of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation;
  • indisputable collection of the amount of payment for the use of funds provided from one budget of the budget system of the Russian Federation to another budget of the budget system of the Russian Federation;
  • indisputable collection of penalties for untimely return of budget funds;
  • suspension of interbudgetary transfers (except for subventions);
  • transfer of part of the powers of the main manager, manager and recipient of budgetary funds to the commissioner for the relevant budget.

The application of budgetary coercive measures is carried out by the financial authorities and bodies of the Federal Treasury on the basis of a notification on the application of budgetary coercive measures. If budgetary violations are revealed during the control measure, the head of the state (municipal) financial control body sends a notification to the financial body on the application of budget enforcement measures. In addition, in cases of establishing a violation of budgetary legislation, the GMFC bodies draw up submissions and (or) instructions. Representation - this is a document containing mandatory for execution within the time limits established in it requirements for taking measures to eliminate identified violations of budget legislation, as well as the causes and conditions of such violations. prescription contains more stringent, mandatory requirements for the elimination of violations of budget legislation and (or) requirements for compensation for the damage caused by such a violation to the Russian Federation, a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a municipality. Failure to comply with orders to compensate for damage caused by a violation of the budgetary legislation of the Russian Federation, a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a municipal formation is the basis for an authorized state (municipal) body to apply to the court with claims for damages. In addition, failure to comply within the prescribed period with the instructions of the state (municipal) body authorized to exercise state (municipal) financial control in the field of budget legal relations, entails the imposition of an administrative fine on officials from 20,000 to 50,000 rubles. and (or) their disqualification for a period of six months to one year, in accordance with the provisions of Art. 19.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

It should be noted that in cases stipulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation, along with the use of budget coercion measures, measures of administrative and criminal liability may be applied to violators of budget legislation. The most common administrative offense in the public sector is the misuse of budgetary funds. According to Art. 15.14 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation misuse of public funds the direction of funds from the budgets of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation and the payment of monetary obligations for purposes that do not fully or partially correspond to the purposes defined by the law (decision) on the budget, consolidated budget list, budget list, budget estimate, contract (agreement) or other document that is the basis provision of these funds, as well as the adoption of budgetary obligations in amounts exceeding the approved budgetary appropriations and (or) limits of budgetary obligations.

In practice, it is not uncommon for the head of a medical institution to purchase a car for business trips at the expense of funds provided for the purchase of medicines, or the institution directs federal budget funds to pay for utilities consumed by the tenant - a commercial organization. The legislation provides for the imposition of an administrative fine within two years from the date of the misuse of budgetary funds. The amount of the fine depends on the subject held liable: from 20,000 to 50,000 rubles. - for an official and from 5 to 25% of the amount of funds received from the budget, used for other purposes - for a legal entity. In addition, an official may be disqualified for a period of one to three years. Bringing to administrative responsibility for the misuse of budgetary funds is carried out by the state financial control bodies through the executive branch of government:

  • 1) the Federal Service for Financial and Budgetary Supervision - in relation to federal budget funds, including those allocated in the form of transfers, budget loans, investments and funds from state extra-budgetary funds;
  • 2) the executive authorities of the subject of the Russian Federation, endowed with the authority to exercise state financial control - in relation to funds from other budgets. When committing misuse of budgetary funds, as well as funds of state non-budgetary funds in a large and (or) especially large amount, criminal liability is provided1. In addition, the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation contains a total of 18 administrative offenses in the public sector, including such as violation of the procedure for submitting budget reporting; preparation, approval and maintenance of budget estimates; the procedure for the adoption of budgetary obligations, the formation of a state task; conditions for the provision of intergovernmental transfers, budget investments, loans and subsidies.

Bodies of state (municipal) financial control in case of detection of violations of the law that go beyond their competence, send information to the relevant state authorities and (or) law enforcement agencies. Variants of realization of materials of control actions are presented on fig. 10.2.3.

Currently, as part of a large-scale reform of public finance management, the most important stage of reforming state financial control2 has been implemented: the RF BC includes provisions that comply with the principles and standards of INTOSAI and EUROSAI, clarifies the powers of state bodies (local governments) to exercise state and municipal financial control, developed a set of measures of responsibility for violations of budget legislation, lists and definitions of types, methods and objects of the GMFC have been introduced, prerequisites have been created for organizing effective control (audit) over the efficiency of the use of budget funds. On the e-budget platform, it is planned to introduce a subsystem of state financial control that can meet modern needs in obtaining information about the functioning of the public finance system in real time, providing the necessary detail and grouping of data.

However, there are a number of problems that need to be resolved as soon as possible. The lack of a complete and consistent legislatively fixed theoretical and methodological base of the GMFC, the lack of systemic regulation and standardization of the processes for implementing verification activities at all stages significantly slows down the process of reforming state (municipal) financial control. It is necessary to continue the formation of the system of financial control bodies and develop real mechanisms that ensure the independence of the GMFC bodies, as well as the attraction and retention of qualified employees, and the smooth functioning of information exchange channels between the GMFC bodies and society. It must be understood that delays in solving these problems increase the risks of using the GMFC as a weapon of political struggle, violating the rights of controlled objects, inefficient distribution of budget funds, the risk of not achieving a socially significant result, and ultimately lead to the lack of reliable, objective information about the object of management - public finance.
