The order of formation, maintenance, operation and development of the Unified Register of types of federal state control (supervision), regional state control (supervision) and municipal control was approved by the Russian Federation Government Decree No. 528 dated 02.04.2021.

Purposes of the Registry creation:

• information support for organizations;
• implementation of state and municipal control;
• systematization and record of control data;
• ensuring the openness of control activities.

Among the information included in the Register:

• information about controlled individuals and legal entities, as well as individual entrepreneurs;
• criteria and indicators of the risk of mandatory requirements violation;
• procedure for assigning objects of state and municipal control to certain risk categories;
• complete list of information that can be requested by the supervisory authorities from controlled persons.

Inspections will be possible only in case when there are appropriate entries in the Register, which is maintained by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, starting July 1, 2021, i.e. from the moment of entry into force of the Government Decree.

It is planned to synchronize the Register with the Government Services Portal, where entrepreneurs will be able to track all information about upcoming inspections and decisions made according to results of said inspections through their personal accounts. In the future, this information may be used for pre-trial appeals against decisions of supervisory authorities.

Technical support of the Register will be provided by the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation.

The information contained in the Register is published on the official website of the Register on the Internet and is available for free.

Users of the Information and Analytical system Globas are able to access the available information about inspections from currently operating Unified Register of Inspections in the section called "Inspections' plan of supervisory authorities" on the company’s report.

Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the Russian payment collection and credit information agencies. The largest enterprises (TOP-10 and TOP-100) in terms of annual revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register and the Federal Tax Service for the available periods (2018-2020). Then the companies were ranged by return on assets ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Return on assets (%) is calculated as the relation of the sum of net profit and interest payable to the total assets value of a company and shows how many monetary units of net profit are earned by every unit of total assets.

The ratio characterizes the effectiveness of using by the company of its resources. The higher is the ratio value, the more effective is business, that is the higher the return per every monetary unit invested in assets.

However, it is necessary to take into account that under the influence of inflation, the book value of fixed assets will increasingly be underestimated in time, that will lead to an overestimation of the return on assets. Thus, it is necessary to take into account not only the structure, but also the age of the assets.

It should be also taken into account the dynamics of this indicator. Its consistent decline indicates a drop in asset utilization.

The calculation of practical values of financial indicators, which might be considered as normal for a certain industry, has been developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas by the experts of Information Agency Credinform, taking into account the actual situation of the economy as a whole and the industries. In 2020, the practical value of return on assets ratio for the payment collection and credit information agencies is from 0,1 to 18,99 %%.

For the most full and fair opinion about the company’s financial position the whole set of financial indicators and ratios should be taken into account.
