The III Annual Conference "100 steps to the favorable investment climate" took place on November 24 in Moscow.

The event was attended by presidential assistant Andrei Belousov, Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Economic Policy, Innovation, Development and Entrepreneurship of the State Duma Victor Klimov, president of the "SUPPORT OF RUSSIA" Alexander Kalinin, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Russian Federation Sergey Katyrin, president of "Business Russia" Alexey Repik , public ombudsman on electronic commerce and the provision of public and municipal services in electronic form Iliia Dimitrov, representatives of federal and regional authorities, experts, heads of major Russian and foreign companies.

In 2014, the leitmotif of the Conference was to assess work of authorities and business community to improve business and investment climate in the regions, to define main aspects that hinder business development, investment and implementation of innovative projects in Russia.

During Round table "Reform of supervisory functions" participants considered a bill creating a Unified Register of checks, which aims to reduce the excess pressure on businesses, to reduce the number of inspections of small and medium-sized businesses from a variety of supervisory bodies, to build a more transparent, confidential and effective system of relations between authorities, citizens and businesses, to improve the quality and accessibility of public and municipal services.

The report “Control of controllers. The role of the Unified Register of checks” was made by public ombudsman on electronic commerce and the provision of public and municipal services in electronic form Iliia Dimitrov. According to him, it is necessary to speed up the process of creating the Unified Register of checks based on the following principles: Every organ of state control (supervision) and municipal control authority (with the exceptions that are explicitly stated in the federal legislation) before the start of the audit shall include information on the audit (inspection body, officials involved in the verification, scope and basis of the approval, legal entity or individual entrepreneur, place, date and time of inspection) in the Unified Register of checks. Following the results of inclusion in the Unified Register, the inspection gets a unique number in the numbering system (hereinafter - the "verification number").

After the audit, the Unified Register of checks is updated with information about its results, including the procedural documents on appeal of inspection results in administrative and judicial order. Verification number is reported by the inspection body to the audited business entity before its start. The inspection can not be performed without registration in the Unified Register and in case of its implementation without prior register the results are invalid. Unified Register data (except for legally protected personal data, information constituting state, commercial and other secrets protected by law, information with restricted access) is publicly available.

Every organ of state control (supervision) and municipal control authority, which will have the duty to include data on inspections in the Unified Register, defines a structural unit (official) responsible for the completeness, objectivity and timeliness of entering information on inspections in the Unified Register. Unified Register shall include information on all audits conducted, except as set forth in claim 7. In particular, it contains information on the checks carried out in the framework of:

1) monitoring the implementation of foreign investments;

2) state control over economic concentration;

3) control and supervision in the fiscal area;

4) tax control;

5) exchange control;

6) customs control;

7) state port control;

8) control on the flow of insurance premiums in the state budget funds;
