INTRODUCTION
Today, the daily life of mankind cannot be imagined
without digital technologies. Business, production and
management processes in offices, organizations and
enterprises are completely related to information
technology.
First of all, the introduction of information
technologies in the activities of institutions,
organizations, enterprises serves to reduce the human
factor in business processes and prevent various
corruption factors, and secondly, this helps employees
save their time and money by avoiding excessive
wandering between them.
Systemic measures of the digitalization of office work
are being realize in the prosecutor's office too.
In particular, "Electronic Document Flaw", that serves
fot the internal document management, and other
softwares are effectively used today in the
prosecutor's office.

In accordance with the Law of the Republic of
Uzbekistan "On the Prosecutor's Office"[1], the
prosecutor's office is responsible for the precise and
same of laws execution.
Information and Communication Technologies are
important in achieving efficiency and quality in
ensuring control over the implementation of laws.
Because, in case of absence of modern information and
communication technologies, it is impossible to
adequately ensure the fulfillment of the requirements
of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the
Prosecutor's Office", decrees and resolutions of the
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, orders of the
Prosecutor General and the Prosecutor General's
Office Collegium.
Digital technologies, first of all, make it possible to
increase the transparency of the activities of state
bodies, minimize personal contacts with officials, and
strengthen control over the implementation of laws.
THE MAIN FINDINGS AND RESULTS
Modern
technologies
provide
openness
of
management processes and ensure transparency,
strengthen trust in the authorities, strengthen the self-
control of the public sector, optimize the anti-
corruption activities of law enforcement agencies, limit
the opportunities for corrupt officials and involve
citizens in the decision-making process [2].
In our opinion, Information and Communication
Technologies serve to move to electronic transfers of
documents and also serve for remote cooperation with
other state bodies. Especially, during the pandemic
period the importance of the role of information and
communication technologies in remote work was
experimentally tested.
In state bodies and institutions that do not focus on
wide introduction of information and communication
technologies, the development remains urgent and
the expected positive results cannot be achieved.
D.V. Gurulev supports the simultaneous automation of
all areas of the prosecutor's activities. Because in this
approach, the programs look and work the same,
thereby this reduces the difficulty and number of
errors of young employees [3].
We will consider the following statistical data on the
efficiency of the prosecutor's supervision.
As Prosecutor General of the Republic of Uzbekistan
N.T. Yoldoshev noted in his article, last year (2022) in
order to ensure the rule of law and strengthen
legitimacy, about 140 thousand prosecutor supervision
documents were applied, 278 thousand citizens' rights
were restored, and the indicators in this regard have
changed significantly in a positive direction.
In addition, more than 46 thousand illegal documents
were brought into line with the law based on the
protests of the prosecutors and about 24 thousand
submissions were sended the relevant authorities
applied.
About 53 thousand persons who violated the
requirements of the law were disciplined and were
brought to administrative responsibility, more than 7
thousand criminal cases were initiated with cases of
gross violations of the law, the damages of 2 trillion 146
billion soums were collected.
These works are important because of the primarily
aimed implementations of the reforms to ensure the
rule of law in the country [4].

A lot of work is done, but still there is a way to reduce
spent time and force. In the course of the research, it
was proposed to develop the "Prosecutor's
Supervision" information system, which provides the
possibility of keeping the documents of the
prosecutor's supervision in electronic form.
As a result of the launch of the "Prosecutor's
Supervision" information system:
bureaucracy related with registration and leading of
inspections will be eliminated;
in this regard the time of employees and budget will be
saved;
it will possible to monitor all inspections and the
prosecutor's supervision documents applied on
supervisions’ results.
The advantages of the information system are shown
in the following:
analysis of legislation and supervision objects studied
in the cross-section of regions and directions;
analysis by categories of officials;
analysis of initiated administrative and criminal cases
by articles;
it will be possible to review the applied prosecutor's
supervision documents at the level of regions, districts
and cities.
The most important thing is that the time spent by
employees on preparation and formalization of
documents is saved.
If this information system is launched fully, on average,
4 billion soums can be saved every year.
It is known that comprehensive measures are being
implemented in our country for the active
development of the digital economy, the widespread
introduction
of
modern
information
and
communication technologies in all industries and
sectors.
it is not enough to see documents and materials during
supervisions over the implementation of laws in
inspections.
Currently, information formed in the activities of state
bodies, enterprises and other organizations is
preserved in information systems and resources.
Therefore, the practice of studying information and
documents stored in the information systems of state
bodies is being formed. Therefore, it is necessary to
provide the prosecutor's office with access to the
organization's information systems and resources.
For instance, in accordance with Article 10 of the Law
of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the Prosecutor's
Office", the subjects of supervision must provide the
officials of the prosecutor's office with the opportunity
to use their information systems and resources within
the scope of the subject of the investigation [5].
Based on the content of the problem, Article 22 of the
Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the
Prosecutor's Office" ("Prosecutor's Powers") should
be brought into line with the requirements of the
times, that is, it is proposed to supplement this article
with the authority to access information systems and
resources without hindrance.
If the project is accepted, with the authority to access
to information systems and resources of organizations
and enterprises, it would serve to increase the
efficiency of the supervision of the prosecutor's office
over the implementation of legislation.

However, this measure is not enough. Today in the
territory of the republic a huge work is being done to
digitize all areas.
For example, in the "Digital Uzbekistan - 2030" strategy
approved by the Decree of the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan No. PF-6079 of October 5, 2020,
it is envisaged to introduce more than 400 information
systems, electronic services and other software
products as part of the digital transformation
programs of regions and industries [6].
At the same time, the prosecutor’s supervision is still
carried out based on the traditional approach.
Digitalization of the prosecutor's supervision over the
clear and uniform execution of legislation in social
relations is becoming an urgent issue.
For example, on the request of the General
Prosecutor's Office, the function of accessing the
information systems of some supervision objects (or
web services for integration) was created and
presented to the General Prosecutor's Office.
According to the current regulations, before the
introduction of information systems, electronic
services and other software products, the technical
tasks are developed and examined by an authorized
div.
The requirements for the technical tasks to create an
information system are defined in the State Standard
of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. O‘z DSt 1987:2018. In
the previous (of 2010) and the current version of that
State Standard there is no requirements for ensuring
prosecutor's supervision.
The only way to ensure the prosecutor's supervision
based on digital technologies is to include special
requirements
for
ensuring
the
prosecutor's
supervision in all technical tasks on information
systems, electronic services and other software
products that would be introduced into the activities
of state bodies.
In this regard, some proposals on a special procedure
for ensuring the supervision of the prosecutor in the
technical tasks to develop information systems,
electronic services and other software products and
proposals on the formation of the only base of
technical tasks have been prepared.
In order to further clarify our thoughts, during our
research, a survey was conducted among 1,679
participants in order to determine the suitability of
introducing special requirements for ensuring
prosecutorial supervision in all technical tasks for
information systems, electronic services and other
software products developed for the activities of state
bodies in the Republic of Uzbekistan. According to the
results of the survey, 57 percent of the respondents
concluded that this requirement is necessary.
As we can see, the employees of the prosecutor's
office approved how urgent it is to provide
prosecutor's supervision in technical tasks on
information systems, electronic services and other
software products developed for the activities of state
bodies in the Republic of Uzbekistan, and to provide
prosecutor's offices with access to the systems.
