ON FINANCIAL RESOURCES FRAUD
The article proposes the tactics of actions of the investigator (head of the investigative unit) of the bodies, which exercise control over the observance of tax legislation, based on the nature of the known circumstances about the criminal offense and persons involved in its commission. The following investigative situations were distinguished by the results of consideration of allegations and reports of criminal offenses: signs of a crime were found to be the basis for entering information in the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations and the commencement of pre-trial investigation; no crime was detected, why to carry out verification measures in view of Part 1 of Art. 214 of the CPC of Ukraine and in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Operational Investigation Activities”; the fact of committing a criminal offense is not confirmed by the materials of the audit (with the conclusion drawn). It is emphasized that the source of information about the identity of the offender can be considered the search for witnesses, forensic investigation of documents that fixed the registration of the movement of funds from the moment of their unlawful withdrawal from the bank account before carrying out operations on their legalization (laundering). It has been determined that the development of forensic methods of investigation of fraud with financial resources are dominant tactical tasks, while others are subordinate. The analysis of investigative practice shows that cognitive tactical tasks of investigation differ from each other not only in content but also in degree of complexity and, accordingly, by means of solution. It is concluded that the complex application of procedural, operational, search and organizational measures to solve the tactical tasks of the initial stage of investigation of fraud with financial resources are not exhaustive, since it is impossible to formulate universal investigation schemes applicable in any case, how it is impossible to predict the actions of criminals in advance. Therefore, each specific situation of investigation requires the investigator, first of all, creative activity within the framework of criminal procedural regulation on the basis of the generalized practices in science, theoretical provisions and methodological recommendations.
