Legal realisation of information technology activities of the government-owned corporations: automation of management and control

Abstract

The article touches upon the problem of digitalization of management and control over government-owned corporation activities. The authors develop the architecture of a unified electronic information system for property management and control of property turnover. The paper reveals a range of issues related to the use of information technologies in management and control over government-owned corporation activities. The researchers analyze the causes of arising problems in legal regulation, general issues being common for all elements of the legal regulation system, as well as private ones relating directly to management and control of the government-owned (public) corporation. The authors use general and special methodological approaches in their research to solve the tasks stated in the paper. This research paper represents the analysis of normative legal acts containing the legal basis for creating an effective system of management and control over government-owned corporation activities. The results of the authors’ study indicate general trends of building a system of a legal response by means of established prohibitions, limits and restrictions. The research points out positive and negative aspects of this approach. The authors identify types of activities of public corporation being non-subject to the control of the founder and monitoring agencies due to definite lacks in the current legislation and suggest legal means to fill in such gaps. Analyzing this doctrine in relation to the use of different approaches to the management and control of government-owned corporation the authors determine positive and negative characteristics of the proposed methods. The researchers suggest using a set of legal instruments in legislative regulation of management and control over government-owned corporation activities. Along with the prohibitions, limits and restrictions the article proposes to digitalize the processes of management of a government-owned corporation and control its activities by means of creating and maintaining a unified electronic information system of property management and control over the turnover of property. The authors characterize features of such a system distinguishing it from existing analogs and specify the structure of the subjects having access to such systems. The paper determinates databases necessary for inclusion in its structure.
