Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of modern methods of preventing crime in the sphere of economic activity, in particular those used to combat economic crimes. The author examines the main problems associated with criminal activity in the field of business and offers comprehensive approaches to their solution. Particular attention is paid to such types of offenses as fraud, tax evasion, corruption, as well as the illegal use of corporate resources and money laundering. It is noted that effective prevention of crime in the economic sphere requires not only strengthening criminal punishment, but also the introduction of modern preventive technologies, such as internal audit systems, electronic monitoring of financial flows, as well as the active use of automated information systems to detect and block illegal transactions. The article substantiates the need for interagency cooperation between law enforcement agencies, tax services and commercial structures to effectively combat economic crime. The author also analyzes the role of international standards in preventing offenses in the field of economic activity and notes the importance of introducing the latest technologies into the processes of detecting and investigating financial criminal offenses. Particular attention is paid to the issues of improving the regulatory framework governing economic activity and increasing the effectiveness of law enforcement in the context of the economic security of the state. The proposed ways to improve the prevention system include the development of forensic examination, improving the procedures for internal audits of enterprises and strengthening control over financial transactions through the use of big data analysis technologies. Thus, preventing crime in the field of economic activity is an important element of ensuring economic stability and development of the country. The proposed methods will contribute to reducing the level of criminal activity, in particular in the business environment, and increase the effectiveness of the fight against economic offenses at the national and international levels.
