Abstract:
Abstract: This article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of forensic crime detection in the economic sphere. While this issue is important from a practical perspective, it is also one of the least studied areas in forensic theory. This latter aspect is partly due to the insufficient development of a general theory for identifying various groups and types of crimes, the principles of which could be used as a methodological foundation for studying the detection of certain categories of crimes. The purpose of this study is to define the system, from a forensic perspective, of the cognitive activities of criminal prosecution subjects during the initiation of a criminal case. This provides grounds for defining the process of identifying economic crimes as a criminal procedural activity aimed at verifying the primary factual data available to the subject of criminal prosecution regarding the possibility of a business entity preparing or committing a crime related to its professional activities, and establishing, based on sufficient data, that the act under investigation has taken place and contains elements of a crime. Based on this research, the author concludes that the object of the theory of crime detection at the initiation stage of a criminal case, in our opinion, is the criminal-procedural research and cognitive activity of the subjects of criminal prosecution, who carry out their functions and tasks within this stage. A distinctive feature of this activity is its aim to collect and verify the reliability of primary information about a crime that has possibly been committed, is being committed, or is being prepared.
