The object of the study is a problem of ensuring economic security of a firm. The subject of the study is a set of theoretical knowledge about the subject, object, system of criminology, in particular the theory of criminalistic support, as well as the content of normative legal regulation of issues related to business activities and economic security of an economic entity. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as: doctrinal approaches to the criminalistics; the range of objects studied by criminalistics; the formation of the concept of criminalistic support, including a separate approach to the application of the concept when it is used in conjunction with the definitions of ‘security of entrepreneurial activity’; interpretations of the concepts of ‘entrepreneurial activity’ and ‘economic security of an economic entity’. Methodology of the research is based on the dialectical method of cognition and its principles. In the process were used general scientific and formal-logical methods such as analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy, systematisation. It has been established that the issues of ensuring economic security of an economic entity do not form an independent theoretical subject, but are covered by cognisable objects of criminalistics. Having analysed the approaches, the economic security of an economic entity is an environment in which the probability of causing it significant damage at a given time interval is negligible. The author's special contribution to the study of the topic is the development of a private forensic theory of ensuring the economic security of entrepreneurial activity – it is based on the regularities of mutual reflection of the elements of the mechanism of criminal and other illegal activities with the economic state of the economic entity, as well as activities to disclose, investigate, prevent criminal and other illegal activities that are threats to the economic security of the economic entity, a set of knowledge.
