It’s worth noting that part 4 of Article 4 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Basic Principles of State Supervision (Control) in the Sphere of Economic Activity” provides that only laws establish:
- bodies authorized to exercise state supervision (control) in the sphere of economic activity;
- types of economic activity which are subject to state supervision (control);
- method of supervision (control).
The regulatory authority is not entitled to exercise state supervision (control) in the sphere of economic activity unless the law expressly authorizes it to exercise such supervision in any sphere of economic activity and determines the powers of such authority when exercising the control.
Thus, before allowing the regulatory authority to come to your company, you should first study whether such regulatory authority is authorized to carry out the inspection of the respective types of economic activity and, most importantly, whether the law determines the method of inspection to be carried out by such authority and empowers such authority to carry out inspections, audits, discovery of documents, etc.
Why do you need legal assistance during the inspection?
Our lawyers will tell you how to behave with the inspectors, what to say, what documents to provide, what to demand from the inspectors, what to take, what to sign and what not to sign, what are the consequences of not allowing a representative of the state supervision (control) body or preventing it from carrying out inspections and so on.
Our credo when dealing with inspectors is to protect our Client’s rights, interests, business reputation and confidential information the unlawful encroachments of the state on business through carrying out illegal inspections, seizuring documents, office equipment, manufactured products, arresting property, bank accounts and so on.
Our lawyer’s visit can be both planned - in case of a scheduled inspection, for example, of the body of the Ministry of Revenue and Duties, and situational - when the inspectors came to the Client without prior notification - for example, the labor inspectors came to carry out an unscheduled wage inspection.
