Introduction: on the basis of the current legislation and taking into account law enforcement practice, the article discusses topical issues of prosecutorial supervision over the implementation of legislation in terms of timely payment by customers of obligations under state and municipal contracts. The results of the supervisory activity indicate that infringement of the rights of entrepreneurs due to non - fulfillment by state and municipal customers of obligations to pay for goods, works, services is massive. The author concludes that such a situation has a significant negative impact on the achievement of the goals and objectives of procurement activities, entails inefficient spending of budget funds, and also creates conditions for corruption and competition restrictions.

The results of the study: allowed us to systematize the practice of prosecutorial supervision over the execution of laws regulating timely payment by customers for work performed by state and municipal contracts, to determine the role and practical significance of prosecutorial inspections in this area, to reveal the essence of prosecutorial activity in the prevention, detection and suppression of offenses in the field of procurement, to establish optimal areas of coordination and interaction in the field of anti - corruption in the procurement of goods, works, services for state and municipal needs. Conclusions and conclusions: I consider it necessary, when choosing and applying prosecutorial response measures, to pay attention to the causes and conditions that contributed to the commission of offenses of the category in question, and then proceed from the expediency and effectiveness of their application.
