The article attempts to eliminate some doctrinal gaps in understanding the phenomenon of monitoring evidence in a criminal case, which were identified during the preparation and defense of the candidate's dissertation of one of the author's students. To understand the true role of evidence monitoring, it is compared with another component of proof - the accumulation of evidence. It is noted that in real practical activities, monitoringtechniques are often so closely merged with procedural and creative techniques for accumulating relevant evidence that their distinction is a rather complex task. And in this regard, the criteria for distinguishing between the accumulation and monitoring of evidence are proposed to be seen in the different purposes of these components of proof, which determine the different in meaning, nature and content techniques of the police, investigators, judges, and other participants in criminal proceedings. The role of evidence accumulation is proposed to be seen in the accumulation of objects, documents, and intangible information useful for the needs of proof by means of their legal transformation into information assets established by law and suitable for use, while the role of evidence monitoring is in the proper perception, study, and analysis of such assets
