Within the framework of the Index, we analyze the proportion of organizations being inspected, the harshness of treatment (proportion of warnings and fines for the violations), the proportion of extra fines imposed without inspections, as well as the change in the amount of fines imposed by control and supervision authorities. The Index indicators are assessed both at the federal and regional level of the Russian Federation. Currently, the Index analyzes the work of the state bodies that execute the most massive types of control and supervision. The analyses of the Index indicators in 2019 and 2020 together with the federal and regional authorities and prosecutors showed significant differences in the law enforcement practice shown by territorial offices within each of the state bodies, including those related to violations of the current regulation by the officials. The development of the Index provided new opportunities to the commissioners for the protection of the rights of entrepreneurs, prosecutors and authorities to reduce the administrative pressure on business and economy.
