Within a European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) technical support project, the Republic of Srpska Inspectorate and the National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED) from Belgrade held a work meeting aimed at developing an operational planning model aimed at more effective inspection surveillance. The operational planning model for inspection surveillance, planned to be developed within this project, will be based on risk assessment and analysis and will use functionalities and data from the Republic of Srpska Inspection Management System. The basic goal of this model is to focus existing inspection resources towards the businesses with “most risk” of irregularities in their operations.

This will lighten the load on the existing inspection personnel, but also decrease burden on businesses that obey the law and have responsible business practices. On this work meeting the operational planning methodology was agreed on, as well as the risk assessment algorithm which will be an integral part of the existing inspection management system.

The project is funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
