The paper examines the existing methodological recommendations for assessing risk of financial institutions of non-bank financial services market participants. In particular, the focus is on the activities of financial companies, which are the largest non-banking market participants. The purpose of the study is to develop an approach to risk assessment of financial companies. The methodological basis for achieving the goal is a systematic analysis of the existing provisions of the regulator on the criteria for assessing the risk of financial institutions. The paper examines in detail the state of the modern risk assessment system in accordance with the criteria developed by the regulator, identifies key shortcomings of the recommendations and proposes to supplement the existing list of indicators that were taken into account by the previous regulator. An analysis of the legislation on the availability of quantitative indicators for assessing risk of non-banking financial services market participants was carried out, which made it possible to offer an expanded list of criteria for achieving the research goal. The expediency of the proposed system of quantitative indicators for assessing the risks of activity is confirmed by the existing actions of the regulator, which partially coincide with the proposed provisions. The developed recommendations provide an opportunity to improve the risk assessment system both for inspections by supervisors and for financial institutions seeking to strengthen preventive measures for their management.

For businesses, the introduction of the Authorized Economic Operator program means simplified declaration, improved efficiency of customs procedures and reduced risks. This allows entrepreneurs to save time and money on customs terminal services and creates transparent and clear customs clearance procedures. However, so far only one company has received such a status, and the State Customs Service is considering another application for authorization. The purpose of the work is to assess the conditions and benefits of the program of an authorized economic operator in the framework of improving customs policy.

The analysis helped to identify the shortcomings of the status of an automated economic operator, which can be further used by researchers to make recommendations for improving the regulatory framework.
