FEATURES AND METHODS OF EXPERT STUDY APPLICATION IN ASSESSING THE EFFICIENCY OF ANTI-CORRUPTION

Abstract

The article discusses the methodology of applying the expert-analytical research method for the analysis of the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures at the state and regional levels. The concepts of the subject and object of corrupt practices, the level of corruption as well as the main directions of existing anti-corruption measures are clarified. The purpose of expert-analytical research is revealed as the identification of problematic relationships, the effectiveness of regulation and law enforcement in the provision of state and municipal services to business entities in the regions of Russia. The author believes that the main tasks of an expert-analytical study are the following: comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the provision of state and municipal services to business entities by federal, regional and municipal authorities; measuring the level of corruption and corruption risks in the fulfillment of state (municipal) functions by the authorities and administration and in the provision of state (municipal) services in the field of entrepreneurial activity. It is concluded that, within the framework of an expert-analytical study of the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures, it is advisable to use a complex instrumental indicator of the "effectiveness of legal regulation" (ELR*), which is calculated as the average sum of its constituent local indicators of the effectiveness of normative legal acts regulating the procedure for providing state (municipal) services to business entities, including the completeness and quality of legal regulation, the duration of the period and the optimality of the procedure. The methodology for calculating average indicators and indices of the effectiveness of legal regulation (ELR*) is shown, which makes it possible to determine for each state (municipal) service a system of parameters (coordinates), relative to which, taking into account the signs of the effectiveness of law enforcement and the level of corruption, the priority of choice and the sequence of specialized anti-corruption examination of the relevant services of the authorities are carried out.
