Employers To Devise Controlling Agencies Monitoring System

Speaking at a meeting with Sumy business community in the presence of Sumy Governor Mr. Yuriy Chmyr, Mr. Dmitry Firtash, President of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine, announced that a system of monitoring activities of controlling agencies will be implemented at Sumy regional employers’ organization.
 
“I fully concur with an idea of creating such a monitoring system. Sumy has a very powerful employers’ organization and it is perfectly capable of making this project happen. Once this system becomes operational, many conflicts between the governmental agencies and the corporate community will be avoided, I am sure. Moreover, public servants and business people will cooperate closer due to such a system: instead of promoting confrontation between these two parties, the system will, on the contrary, help cooperate towards developing a framework for conducting the controlling activities. Everyone would agree that inspections and audits are indispensible and the government has to have a system of such audits. Yet, what we are suggesting is making this system more efficient and understandable for the business,” said Mr. Firtash.
 
The public monitoring will, among other things, provide a very productive leverage in disseminating the pre-trial conflicts resolution practice.
 
It is expected that while conducting the monitoring, employers will be supplying timely and summarized data characterizing the doing-business environment. These reports will include statistics on numbers and duration of inspections at enterprises, on duration and cost of obtaining permits and other authorization papers, on companies and property registration requirements, on deadlines set for reports preparation and submission, as well as other requirements essential for running a business.
 
These data will become an alternative source of information describing business conditions in the region, and will enable employers’ development of mechanisms easing the administrative burden on business.
 
“If we gradually reduce the number of proceedings, inspections, audits and their duration, it will manifest our movement in the right direction. Business people will be able to better focus on their immediate production priorities,” said Mr. Firtash.
 
Once the monitoring system is tested in Sumy region, the Federation of Employers intends to apply the experience onto other regions of Ukraine.
