Crimes in the field of economic activity have become so common in society that crime in the economy has become the norm in the behavior of business entities. Economic crime in Russia at the present stage has reached such a scale that it really threatens the national security of the state. All this requires a detailed study of the individual elements of a crime in the sphere of economic activity and determination of methods for preventing economic crimes. Ensuring the economic rule of law is a guarantee of ensuring the economic security of the state in the future. Economic crimes committed at enterprises of various patterns of ownership are considered. The main type of economic crime is the misappropriation of assets (property), bribery and corruption are in second place, and finally, the third type of common economic crime in 2019 is procurement fraud. The amount of damage from economic crimes in large enterprises ranges from 100 thousand to 1 million US dollars. The main tools for detecting economic crimes in Russia are: the activities of the internal audit and economic security services; information technology protection and financial security of the enterprise; reporting suspicious transactions; the activities of the enterprise to manage the risks of losses from fraud. It is proposed to identify four levels of economic security of the enterprise: critical, low, medium and high.

The financial and economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic provokes not only unconventional situations in society, but also actively affects the state of economic crime. The criminal situation in the oil and gas complex is directly related to the current state of the economy and digitalization of its processes, a set of conditions and factors responsible for its stability, sustainability and progressiveness of the digital economy. It is not enough to assess the economic criminality of the oil and gas complex only by the number of revealed crimes; therefore, it is necessary to implement an effective economic concept of society and economic security of a particular enterprise, legal entity and individual, which will allow to change the entire cause-and-factor complex causing economic criminality. The article reveals the specific features of the oil and gas complex that contribute to the commission of economic crimes. A classification of factors contributing to the commission of economic crimes is proposed, in which the socio-economic and specific factors of the oil and gas industry are consistently considered, and their characteristics with the growth of economic crimes are given. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the development of the model of preventive measures to ensure economic security at macro-, meso– and micro levels of market economy in the conditions of digitalization. The cause-and-factor complex of economic crimes is considered taking into account the following blocks: political and legal, socio-economic, sectoral, organizational and technological, which are interconnected and actively affect the level of economic crimes. As a result, the main measures to counteract economic crimes are proposed, taking into account the purposeful influence of society, specific enterprise, legal entity and individual on the causes and conditions of ensuring economic security of the state.

The paper notes that in order to effectively ensure financial the safety of citizens of Ukraine is extremely important to achieve an appropriate level of tax security of the state as a basic structural element of financial state security. Identified threats affecting the current state the domestic tax security of the state. A number of regulatory and legal acts regulating the provision of tax security in Ukraine. A set of actions has been determined that is optimal for increasing the level of tax security of Ukraine. Politics should become the basis of state tax security ensuring the safety of domestic producers, because they are the most payers of taxes and fees, guarantors of a developed economic system, a source of employment in a market economy. Many problems getting in the way the study of tax security is explained by the fact that «tax security state» as a term is practically not regulated in the legislation of our state, its specifics and the composition of threats that can cause him significant harm. The vast majority of domestic and foreign scientists, considering issues of tax security, focus on micro-level, namely on the tax security of enterprises. While this the problem requires in-depth development and a systematic approach to determining the concept of «tax security» is precisely at the macro level of the study of the tax state security. To ensure the proper level of tax security it is necessary to determine its current state, the main components and factors of influence, examining the features of the functioning of the domestic tax system. It was noted that the future cooperation of the State Tax Service of Ukraine and Bureau of Economic Security will help eliminate duplication of functions law enforcement and reducing unnecessary and unjustified pressure on taxpayers, and will also help improve efficiency investigation of economic crimes and improve Ukrainian investment attractiveness.
