The key factor of sustainable economic development is investment support for human capital development aimed at generating innovative knowledge, professional skills, support and development of abilities and talents, qualitative human characteristics without which economic and social growth is excluded. The study of human capital and the right to use it as objects of an accounting system designed to provide reliable information to users will help society to control the process of human development as a core value and driving force in achieving sustainable economic development from the micro to the global level. In this study, the methods for assessing human capital as an object of accounting «The right to use human capital» are applied according to the methodology of the International Financial Reporting Standard 16 "Lease". The condition for applying the methodology of this standard is the analogy with the employment contract between the business entity and the employee with the terms of the lease agreement. The measurement of such an asset is based on the initial measurement of the lease liability, which is calculated as the present value of future lease payments. Such an asset is subject to straight-line amortization over the life of the contract. Additional investment in human capital at the start of a contract, or in the process of execution, increases the value of the Right to Use Human Capital. To calculate the initial cost of an asset and its depreciation during the term of the employment contract, you can use the existing mathematical methods from the standard list of the EXCEL office program. In this study, using a conditional example of an employment contract for a period of five years, a minimum wage of UAH 6,000 and a discount rate of 7%, the calculation of the initial cost of the «Right to use human capital» is provided.

Based on the analysis of statistical indicators, scientific and educational sources, as well as law enforcement practice, the article examines violations in the field of operational search documentation of economic crimes. The author substantiates the need to establish effective Prosecutor’s supervision over the observance of the law in this area as the most important condition for the formation of sustainable economic development in Russia. In this context, taking into account the experience of foreign countries, three most important issues that require a conceptual solution are identified and considered: 1) strengthening of Prosecutor’s supervision over the legality of decisions made by bodies that carry out operational investigative activities; 2) orientation of authorized prosecutors to timely professional analysis of materials of operational-search cases accumulated by subjects of operational-search activity during the implementation of operational-search documentation of economic crimes; 3) expansion of the limits of Prosecutor’s supervision over the legality of operational-search documentation of economic crimes, including information received from secret sources. It is concluded that there are prerequisites for revising the existing model of Prosecutor’s supervision over the legality of operational investigative documentation of economic crimes by systematically strengthening the role of the Prosecutor’s office in it.
