According to the State Control Committee, the company thereby obtained more than 50,000 rubles in unjustified revenue.
The violations were uncovered by the Mahiliou Region office of the State Control Committee. According to the agency, when setting selling prices for its own paving slabs, the company exceeded the maximum permitted profitability rate by up to 1.5 times. In addition, the manufacturer applied excessive wholesale markups when selling paving slabs and curbstones produced by other companies. Although the maximum permitted markup was 10%, it reached 60% in some cases.
Inspectors also identified violations in the preparation of consignment notes. The documents lacked information required for the correct calculation of prices, including the product code, selling price, wholesale markup and delivery costs. The total value of goods sold with these violations exceeded 1.8 million rubles.
Administrative proceedings have been initiated against the company and its officials.
