Abstract: The research subject is the analysis of the current legislation regulating the legal status of federal executive authorities, and the analysis of the existing approaches to defining their essence, functions and responsibilities. The methodology of systematizing functions and responsibilities will serve as a basis for the development of classification models for the functions and responsibilities of executive authorities and the methodology of their preparation and processing. The need for the classifier of functions and responsibilities of executive authorities is determined by the purposes of optimization of public (municipal) administration in the respective spheres and a qualitative improvement of the procedures of interaction between the state and physical and legal entities. The research methodology is based on the recent achievements of epistemology. The authors apply general scientific and theoretical research methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, and modeling), traditional legal methods (formal-logical), and the methods of specific sociological studies (statistical, expert assessments, etc.), the methods of segmentation, classification, and correlation, and the comparative method. The authors conclude that it is necessary to correlate the departmental functions and the private (specific) responsibilities of executive authorities by means of the correlation method based on the paradigm admitting the universalism of private (specific) functions for the sectoral (departmental) functions of executive authorities. The authors develop the methodology of systematizing the functions and responsibilities of federal executive authorities and the methodology of preparation and processing the classifier of functions and responsibilities of the executive agency for the purpose of optimizing the public (municipal) administration in the respective spheres and a qualitative improvement of the procedures of interaction between the state and physical and legal entities.

Abstract: The article focuses on the current norms of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, regulating the notion of administrative suspension of activity as a form of administrative punishment, as well as the materials of judicial practice of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation, containing the normative interpretations of this form of administrative liability. This form of punishment is inflicted only in a judicial proceeding for up to 90 days. Imposition of this sanction is determined by emergencies, threatening life and health of people, epidemic, epizootic, etc. However, the analysis of legal requirements of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation indicates that this form of administrative punishment is often used as an alternative to other forms of administrative punishment – administrative fines and confiscation. The authors study the legal nature of this sanction, the real purpose of which is an immediate cessation of illegal actions on the part of the subject, infringing legal regulations.The methodological basis for the article contains the recent achievements of epistemology. The authors apply general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the systems method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods (formal logical), and the methods of specific sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.).The authors conclude that it is necessary to exclude this form of administrative punishment from the sanctions of Chapter 14 of the Code of Administrative Offences, since the application of this punishment contradicts its administrative and preclusive legal nature and stimulates corruptogenic risks. The main contribution of the authors is a comprehensive study of scientific and methodological approaches and materials of judicial practice, revealing the pronounced administrative-preclusive nature of this measure of administrative coercion. The novelty of the article lies in the proposals on optimization of administrative sanctions provided in Chapter 14 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation.

Abstract: One of the currently important problems of legal regulation of the financial sector is application of special fiscal measures of coercion by the state for the fiscal offences committed. The law enforcement authorities face numerous questions related to the procedures of applying the above measures. The authors of this article turn to the analysis of this problem and suggest their own way of solving it. The subject matter of this article is the comprehensive analysis of the laws and regulations published by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation which regulate and explain the procedure of imposing special fiscal coercion measures. The principal research method is the systematic analysis based on the consideration of the rules of the procedural law in connection with the rules of substantive law including the special fiscal coercion measures. The authors make the conclusion that the procedure of applying the fiscal coercion measures must be harmonized. This will ensure the clarity and preciseness of wording of procedural directions related to the support of the procedure of application of the fiscal coercion measures, bridge the legal gaps appearing due to the absence of the detailed regulation of the process of application of fiscal coercion measures.
