Теневая экономика проникает практически во все экономические сферы жизнедеятельности общества. Она включает в себя различные экономические отношения, которые находятся за рамками закона в областях производства, потребления, обмена и распределения. Воспрепятствование теневой экономике, предстающей одной из базовых угроз экономической безопасности страны, есть необычайно актуальное явление в настоящее время. Современное состояние сектора теневой экономики в России весьма динамично развивается, что влечет за собой негативное воздействие на социально-экономическое положение государства. В основном, это относится к представителям малого и среднего бизнеса, который занимается предоставлением услуг и производством разнообразных товаров. Актуальность избранной тематики заключается в том, что сейчас в России большой процент теневых доходов, тогда, как эти деньги могли быть направлены на становление и развитие МСП, особенно во времена обостренной пандемии, что позволило бы минимизировать экономическую напряженность и нарастить результативность государственных финансов. The shadow economy penetrates almost all economic spheres of society. It includes various economic relations that are outside the scope of the law in the areas of production, consumption, exchange and distribution. The obstruction of the shadow economy, which appears to be one of the basic threats to the economic security of the country, is an extremely relevant phenomenon at the present time. The current state of the shadow economy sector in Russia is developing very dynamically, which entails a negative impact on the socio-economic situation of the state. This mainly applies to representatives of small and medium-sized businesses that provide services and produce a variety of goods. The relevance of the chosen topic lies in the fact that now there is a large percentage of shadow income in Russia, while this money could be used for the formation and development of SMEs, especially during times of an acute pandemic, which would minimize economic tension and increase the effectiveness of public finances.

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.

Pre-procedural or non-procedural activities for the investigation of economic crimes are the activities to investigate crimes committed in the sphere of economy that are carried out before the initiation of criminal proceedings. In Spain, it is entrusted to the following state bodies: the judicial police, the prosecutor's office, and administrative bodies. The choice of the pre-procedural model of investigating an economic crime in modern Spain is subject to a variety of factors, including the specifics of interpersonal relations that have developed between law enforcement officials. The distinctive features inherent in the Spanish pre-procedural activity in the investigation of economic crimes are its spontaneity and the lack of uniformity in the procedure for its conduct. In particular, there is no legal certainty as to who decides on the commencement of pre-procedural activities to investigate an economic crime, as well as orderliness in who is assigned the main responsibility in the direction of its progress. The non-procedural investigation of economic crimes in Spain is carried out in accordance with the models that were gradually introduced into practice through the generalization of the customs of professional activities of law enforcement agencies that are understandable only to the staff of the bodies considered in the article. In modern times in Spain, four non-procedural models of the investigation of economic crimes with different constituent composition have been formed. In this case, it is impossible not to note the role of the administrative bodies in the investigation of economic crimes. Some Spanish researchers refer it to a separate investigation model, since it has its own order and dynamics. At the same time, the models under consideration are increasingly moving away from the order of investigation established by law, which calls into question legal security and creates a threat to the principle of legality. Within the framework of the projects on the reform of criminal justice in Spain, it is proposed to assign the responsibility for investigating criminal cases, particularly for economic crimes, to the prosecutor and the judge responsible for ensuring procedural guarantees. However, the feasibility of this project, even in the opinion of the Spanish researchers themselves, is questionable. In this regard, the authors in this article consider not only the positive aspects of each non-procedural model for the investigation of economic crimes in Spain, but also their shortcomings.

Introduction. The level of shadowing of the economy in Ukraine remains one of the highest in the world and is a threat to its economic security and macroeconomic stability, investment attractiveness, etc. The dynamics of change in the main indicators of the functioning of the shadow economy indicates a low level of effectiveness of existing mechanisms to prevent the implementation of shadow operations. The existing institutional component of this mechanism does not fully form the preconditions for reducing the share of the shadow sector of the economy and therefore does not encourage businesses to withdraw their funds from the shadows. The high level of corruption and bureaucracy in the country has a negative impact on the efficiency of economic entities and thus creates the preconditions for the revision of existing instruments of state regulation of the economy. Purpose. Research of efficiency of functioning of separate institutional components of the mechanism of counteraction to shadowing of national economy and definition of the most priority measures of prevention of the state by shadow schemes of withdrawal of incomes. Results. The results of the study identified the main reasons for the high level of shadowing of the national economy, threats, and barriers to counteracting the participation of economic entities in the shadow schemes of capital withdrawal. The analysis of the main vectors of state influence on economic entities is carried out. Their efficiency has been evaluated. It is established that Ukraine occupies one of the last places in the world in the vast majority of indicators. Analysis of individual components of the indicator of ease of doing business in Ukraine showed a significant duration of procedures for reporting and payment of taxes, processing of documents for export/import, a significant cost of processing documents for export/import. The results of the study showed that one of the components that have a significant impact on economic entities is the high level of corruption in the country, low efficiency of corruption control procedures, low efficiency of government, etc. The necessity of development and application of a set of measures aimed at improving the quality of the institutional component of the mechanism of de-shadowing of the economy is proved.

The article considers the main domestic and foreign approaches to the assessment of economic crime, defines the essence and highlights the main categories of economic crime, formulates the main characteristics of economic crimes, as well as analyzes statistical data on economic crimes identified in the Russian Federation, reveals their essence and scheme of implementation. Economic crime is a natural continuation of economic crises, and economic crises are a natural state of the market economy. There are two main definitions of economic crime: Economic crime is all crimes against property, that is, by and large, all crimes committed for selfish purposes. Economic crime is only a crime in the economic sphere. The most frequently identified economic crimes in Russia are misappropriation of assets, bribery and procurement fraud. That is, these are crimes carried out by employees of companies, or rather by senior employees of companies. Crimes, the most common in the subjects of the domestic economy, are professional crimes, latent, difficult to prove, and often do not fall under the criminal code. Therefore, while the legislator will change, leading the criminal code in accordance with the requirements of modern economic realities, businesses need to ensure that the system of internal control through risk assessment and study of the revealed fraud, identify factors that contributed to their making, motivation of fraudsters and the conditions under which offenses were possible, to avoid similar situations in the future and to reduce negative impacts, both financial and non-financial.

The article considers the issues of determining the essence and stages of strategic planning of economic security of the enterprise, which is due to the need to establish its content and sequence of work on preventive measures against internal and external threats. The research methodology includes methods of analysis and synthesis – to study the essence of economic security of the enterprise, abstract-logical method – to establish the stages of strategic planning of economic security, tabular method – to visualize the material. It is determined that the lack of strategic planning leads to low efficiency of resource use of the business entity and the crisis, as well as to the loss of development opportunities. This has a direct negative impact on the positioning of the enterprise in the market, calls into question its existence in any long-term perspective. It is established that anticipation of crisis phenomena and preventive work on the development of mechanisms to counter them should be an integral part of the strategy of economic security management of economic entities. The generalization of approaches to defining the essence of economic security of the enterprise allowed us to establish that it combines the interrelated problems of preserving resources from negative factors and achieving success through stable operation and development. As a result, we propose our own definition, which corresponds to the resource-functional approach and takes into account the relationship between the achievement of strategic economic interests of the enterprise, the need for preventive action to prevent negative factors and ensure sustainable development of the entity. The existing scientific approaches are studied and our own idea of the sequence and content of the stages of strategic planning of economic security is presented, which is due to the logic of organizing work to determine strategic guidelines and economic interests of the enterprise, identification and neutralization of threats, implementation of plans and programs and monitoring their implementation and taking into account the possibility of feedback.
