( Pp. 69-75)

The purpose of the research. Parliamentary control is a mechanism for ensuring the transparency of the activities of the state executive body, as well as other bodies, institutions, officials, promoting the development of democratic institutions in the state. This article describes such forms of parliamentary control as the control activities of permanent and special parliamentary committees and commissions, parliamentary control in the financial sphere, and parliamentary inquiries. A comparative legal analysis of the above mentioned forms of parliamentary control allows to identify the most effective control mechanisms of modern parliaments and to provide recommendations for improving legislation in the corresponding sphere. The relevance of the problem raised in this article is explained by the need of further evolution of the institution of parliamentary control as one of the most important elements of parliamentarism, improvement of the practice of parliamentary control over the activities, primarily of the executive branch, and increase its effectiveness. The results. Nowadays, the existence of a democratic system is not possible without legal mechanisms that ensure transparency and accountability of the government, other state bodies and officials. One of the significant mechanisms of this kind is in the hands of a representative legislative body - parliament. Parliamentary control is one of the most important functions of modern parliaments. The significance of this function, the effectiveness of its implementation depend on the form of government, the state regime, however, in one form or another, parliamentary control exists in almost all modern states. The most common control mechanisms of modern parliaments include: control activities of parliamentary committees and commissions, whose role in the realization of control powers has recently been increasing; financial parliamentary control, implemented through the consideration by the parliament of reports on the execution of the state budget, the approval of the main financial law, as well as the activities of quasi-parliamentary structures (audit departments, audit chambers, parliamentary auditors, etc.); deputy inquiries, in particular interpellations, which concern the most important issues and restrict the government and its members from taking decisions that are improper from the point of view of the members of the representative body.
