Subject. In recent years, there has been a powerful reinforcement of the requirements for the quality of accounting and the reliability of the data presented in the financial statements of institutions within the public sector. This led to more rigorous requirements for the competence of accounting and analytics staff. An analysis of the economic literature showed that the procedure for the certification of accounting employees and the assessment of their job functions in state-funded institutions have not been thoroughly studied. Purpose. The authors consider the certification of accounting employees in state-funded institutions as a tool to assess their job functions and the level of their professional competence. The article presents the results of testing methodological tools for the certification of accounting and analytics staff in a state-funded institution. Methods. The research objectives were solved using the methods of system analysis, content analysis, and sociological methods. The authors of the article summarised the results of previous studies and considered the regulations. The research involved the analysis of appeals to the State Labour Inspectorate regarding issues related to the certification of personnel. The authors identified the main reasons for such appeals and the types of violations of employees' rights during certifications. The work classifies the main methods for the certification of accounting and analytics staff and identifies their advantages and disadvantages. Results. The analysis of employees’ appeals to the State Labour Inspectorate showed that in many cases appeals related to the violation of employees' rights during the certification of personnel were caused by violations of the certification procedure. The research is a scientific novelty as it proposes methodological tools which are represented by a set of developed criteria and tests used to assess the job functions of those in accounting and analytics positions. The developed tools were tested in a state-funded institution in the Novosibirsk Region. Conclusions. The study confirmed the need for employee certification to assess their job functions and professional competence. Validation of the research results allowed making recommendations for upskilling employees and their professional retraining.

The article analyzes the procedure of procurement by the state control bodies with the participation of audit organizations. In recent years, the procurement system has improved in terms of openness and transparency of tenders due to the gradual electronics and innovations in legislation. The public procurement system is used for the acquisition by the state of a wide variety of goods and services, but it is far from perfect in the procurement of specific areas. The system does not provide for full disclosure of customer information for such orders where it is highly desirable, in particular when conducting a tender for the audit of financial statements. These and many other factors may ultimately affect the quality of audit services, which is why it seems relevant to study the control system of procurement from audit organizations and mechanisms to ensure the high quality of the audit.В статье анализируется порядок проведения государственными контрольными органами закупок с участием аудиторских организаций. В последние годы система закупок усовершенствовалась в части открытости и прозрачности торгов благодаря постепенной цифровизации и нововведениям в законодательстве. Система государственных закупок служит для приобретения государством самых различных товаров и услуг, однако она далеко не совершенна при осуществлении закупок в специфических областях. Система не предусматривает раскрытие полной информации о заказчике для таких заказов, в которых это весьма желательно, в частности, при проведении конкурса на аудит финансовой отчетности. Эти и многие другие факторы в конечном итоге могут влиять на качество предоставления аудиторских услуг, именно поэтому представляется актуальным изучение системы контроля закупок у аудиторских организаций и механизмы обеспечения высокого качества проводимого аудита.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the influence exerted by a quality management system (QMS) under ISO 9001: 2015 on the quality of public services organizations in Mexico. Design/methodology/approach The methodological design was quantitative, explanatory, observational and transversal, for which a sample of 461 public servants from the state of Guanajuato, Mexico was obtained. To test the hypotheses, a structural equation model (SEM) was developed through the statistical software Amos v.21. For the analysis of the data, software SPSS v.21 was used. Regarding the goodness and adjustment indices of the SEM (χ2 = 720.09, df = 320, CFI = 0.933, TLI = 0.926 and RMSEA = 0.05) which, therefore, proved to be acceptable. Findings According to the results obtained through the SEM model, the QMS under ISO 9001: 2015 is positively and significantly influenced tangible aspects (β1 = 0.79, p < 0.01), reliability (β2 = 0.90, p < 0.01), related to response quality (β3 = 0.93, p < 0.01), guarantees (β4 = 0.91, p < 0.01) and empathy (β5 = 0.88, p < 0.01) of the quality related to public services in Mexico. The study’s key contribution is that it discovered that implementing a QMS in accordance with the ISO 9001: 2015 standard has an impact on the quality of public services, with the most influential quality of response. Similarly, the assurance and dependability of service quality turned out to be important in providing public service quality. Research limitations/implications In this paper, the QMS was only evaluated as a variable that intervenes in the process of obtaining quality in public service under the ISO 9001 standard in its 2015 version. In this regard, the results’ trustworthiness is limited to the extent that the findings may be generalized in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico’s public service. As a result, the scientific community is left primarily focused on service quality to promote new future research. Practical implications The ISO 9001: 2015 standard’s QMS is one of the tools for success in both the commercial and government sectors. However, there are practical limitations, which focus on the time during which managers exercise their vision in the public sector: first, the dynamics that managers play in public policy; second, the length of time they have served in public office; and third, the interest of directors of public institutions to improve the quality of service provided by the government. Other practical consequences concern organizational culture and identity, public servant commitment, senior management or secretaries of government, as well as work and training. Originality/value The findings of this paper are important and valuable because they foster knowledge generation in the public sector through the ISO 9000 quality area. A model that permits the adoption and implementation of a QMS based on the ISO 9001: 2015 standard in public organizations that seek to provide quality in their services offered to the user is also presented to the literature. Similarly, the paper is important because there is currently insufficient research focusing on the variables examined in the context of public service in Mexico.

AbstractThe objective of this research is to verify the level of relationship between the mechanisms of corporate governance and the performance of the companies of the public subsector, listed on BM&FBovespa. The research was based on the financial statements from 2010 to 2014, obtained on the BM&FBovespa website, resulting in a sample of 63 companies with 315 observations. In order to calculate the performance proxy of the company, the ROA was used, and for the calculation of the proxies of the corporate governance mechanisms were used for the quality of the audit, the concentration of ownership in common shares and preferred shares, participation in the levels of governance of BM&FBovespa, number of shares held by the government and number of directors in the Board, adapted from the Mollah and Zaman (2015) survey. Convergence with national and international research, the findings of the study showed that such variables as quality of profit, concentration of ownership in preferred shares, participation in governance levels and size of the Board are positively related to the performance of the company; already a concentration of ownership in common shares and number of shares held by the government are negatively related to performance. For future reference, it is recommended to expand other sectors of the market as well as to use other mechanisms of corporate governance, presented in the literature.Keywords: Corporate Governance.

In support of this country's acceptance in apply MPN-G2 to facilitate the public in paying taxes. The result found that effectiveness of state revenue by applying of MPN-G2 system is quite effective in the case of quantity in the form of increasing percentage of amount of realization and transaction of state revenue. While the quality of state revenues after the MPN-G2 less effective because of input transparency of state revenue transactions is still too large so that the validity of the transaction is in doubt. For the duration of the state revenue with billing shows effective results because it is faster in the state revenue deposit, but the delegation of state revenue is less effective because it is still like the old system all transactions collected first with the time period determined after it was transferred to the state treasury. This study also produces factors that affect the effectiveness of state revenue with MPN-G2 such as communication, resources, and clarity of technology and procedures.
