The subjects of ensuring economic security have been determined as one of the main elements in the structure of the mechanism of this activity.

These patterns of the functioning of the system of subjects in counteracting economic crime have been defined. The author has outlined their clear range, the main tasks and functions at different levels and departments as the basis for further elimination of differences and contradictions that create a certain negative imbalance in the successful counteraction to crime in this direction, which is the topical and relevant issue, the discussion aspects of which require further scientific research.
