Public Interests Provision in the Activities of Control and Accounts Bodies of the Subjects of the Russian Federation

This contribution deals with the analysis of the activity of control and accounts bodies (CAB) in the subjects of the Russian Federation. Based on the results of monitoring the data published at the official websites of the CAB and using the method of comparative legal analysis, the Author makes an attempt at assessing the activity of CAB in terms of openness, studies the issues in the legal regulation of their activity, reviews available feedback mechanisms and the forms of protection and representation of interests of civil society in the course of financial control implementation. We conclude that currently the created information resources ensure publicity in the work of CAB of the subjects of the Russian Federation by providing information on the composition, structure, performance (publication of reports, statistical and analytical materials), contact information including schedules for citizens however there is a number of problems and shortcomings in terms of ensuring the interaction of citizens and control and accounts bodies, among which one can point out that some websites do not provide the possibility of submitting on-line appeals, as well as obtaining information on the results of the examination of the latter.elena_kireeva02@mail.ruDoctor of Legal Sciences, Dean of the Faculty of Personnel Management and Civil Service of the Institute of Public Administration and Civil Service of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Russian Federation.
