State Audit Service agreed that profit for military-industrial complex should be returned to price. DOCUMENT
The State Audit Service of Ukraine stated that it supports the return of profits to the price, and the relevant proposals have been sent to the Ministry of Defense.
This message was published on the Facebook page of the State Audit Service, Censor.NET reports.
"In order to maintain the state's defense capability during the period of martial law in Ukraine, the State Audit Service supports and considers it appropriate to return the condition of calculating the price taking into account the profit, as it was before February 24, 2022," the statement said.
The SAS proposed to direct this profit to the development of the military-industrial complex: innovation, modernization, modification, completion, re-equipment, reconstruction, etc.
The State Audit Service also noted that the service is ready to join the development of a draft government decision or a relevant draft law.
Earlier, it was reported that the State Audit Service requires enterprises to return profits on defense procurement and threatens to sue. The SAS believes that the profits of defense enterprises, suppliers of the Defense Ministry and other security and defense forces for 2022 are a loss to the state.
At the same time, on 21 September, the Verkhovna Rada adopted Resolution No. 10071, which effectively cancels the SAS's conclusions, according to which all profits of all suppliers to the Ministry of Defence - including weapons critical to the frontline - are regarded as "state losses".
The Ministry of Defense is also challenging the SAS's conclusions in court. And the Ministry of Economy issued a clarification that the suppliers of the Ministry of Defense acted in the legal field and made a profit legally.
