In this article, based on the analysis of expert and forensic practice, the study of regulatory sources are analyzed some aspects arising from the execution of forensic examinations on the compliance of business operations with the norms of the current legislation of Ukraine in public procurement of natural gas, damage to budget institutions by changing the essential conditions of the tenders’ results for supply contracts for changes in price and supply volumes. The nature of changes in Ukraine natural gas prices several times a day in accordance with changes in prices on the European market and changes in the UAH exchange rate are considered as well. The purpose of the article is to summarize and systematize the existing expert and forensic practice on the grounds for changing the unit price of a product, including several times a day related to price changes in the European market and changes in the UAH exchange rate, using the example of problematic issues in public procurement of natural gas; identify the characteristics and reveal the legal nature, the essence of such changes; explore the current legislation in the field of public procurement for compliance with the application of changes in the essential terms of the supply agreement after the signing of it when public enterprises make purchases. The main problem of the study is the lack of clear rules, enshrined in legislation on changes in the price of goods after the conclusion of the supply contract. This leads to an ambiguous interpretation of certain rules governing public procurement and, as a result, criminal liability under officials under the Criminal Code of Ukraine for violations that are qualified by the pre-trial investigation authorities as misappropriation or wasteful spending of budget funds. In the article, on the basis of the analysis of problematic issues that experts face in their practical work, the existing approaches to solving problems when conducting a forensic examination are analyzed. Key words: budget sphere, public procurement, natural gas market, fluctuations in market prices, losses.

Illegal activities in the field of procurement of goods, works and services pose a threat not only to economic, but also to national security. The solution to this situation is possible only with an integrated approach, consisting not only in improving the efficiency of the regulatory authorities, but also in optimizing the current legislation. Article 107 of the Federal Law dated 05.04.2013 “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, work, services for the provision of state and municipal needs” provides the criminal liability of persons guilty of violating the laws of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts on contract system in the field of procurement. However, until recently, the onset of criminal liability remained only “on paper”. The turning point in the criminal law regulation of relations in the field of public procurement was the year 2018, when federal laws were adopted that introduced amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation by criminalizing illegal acts in this sphere of public relations. One of the controversial articles by the structure of the criminal law elements is Article 200.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which established criminal liability for giving a knowingly false expert opinion in the field of procurement of goods, works and services.

The problem of a passive bribery subject in the field of public procurement is actualized. The article substantiates the relevance of issues related to the establishment of criminal liability in article 200 5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation not for a new type of bribery, but for a special type of bribery, the introduction of which has neither social nor legal grounds. When creating a new criminal law standard, the domestic legislator did not fully take into account its blank status, therefore, the characteristics of passive bribery subjects do not conform to the current legislation. Thus, the assessed criminal law standard cannot be found in Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, but it is also not needed in chapter 30 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
