Інна Ербелідзе, Юлія Підлісна Введення в експлуатацію закінчених будівництвом об’єктів є завершальною і водночас найбільш проблемною стадією будівництва. Органи архітектурно-будівельного контролю (“Містобудівний Орган”) часто відмовляють у реєстрації декларації про готовність об’єкта до експлуатації (для об’єктів СС1) чи видачі відповідного сертифіката (для об’єктів СС2 та СС3), не аргументуючи такі відмови та обмежуючись загальними посиланнями на положення […]

Додатково до зазначеного вище, знаходимо термін “перепланування” у таких нормативно-правових актах: […]

Шахрайство — це прикрий тренд сучасності. За оцінками Асоціації сертифікованих спеціалістів із розслідування шахрайства (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, ACFE), кожна компанія втрачає в середньому 5 % річного доходу через шахрайські дії свого персоналу. У ціновому вираженні збитки компаній за 2020 рік сягнули 3,6 мільярда доларів США. Водночас дослідження ACFE стосувалося випадків лише «внутрішнього» шахрайства (occupational fraud), виключаючи дії […]
