Popis: The relevance of the issues studied in this article is due to the need to form an efficiently functioning system of regulating forensic expert activity in general and its individual components, in particular, financial support, taking into account positive foreign experience. The author proposes to introduce separate budget programmes for state specialised institutions of each state agency, which will help to resolve the issues of proper funding and justification of expenditures, and will serve as an anti-corruption factor. Attention is focused on the need to develop a unified methodological approach to calculating the number of forensic examinations. The author emphasises the importance of summarizing the financial statements of state specialised institutions engaged in forensic activities and making them available to the public. It is stated that there is an urgent necessity to find reasonable opportunities to expand the financial autonomy of state specialised institutions. The author proves the need to include forensic experts in the list of persons obliged to file declarations and introduce financial monitoring of forensic experts’ lifestyle. The author concludes that it is expedient to introduce a mixed system for determining the cost of forensic examinations.
