The main legal forms of control and supervision over the preservation and effective use of state property by participants in economic relations, which are considered as one of the elements of the legal regime of state property, are studied. According to the results of the study, the following main legal forms of control and supervision over the preservation and effective use of state property by participants in economic relations are identified: a) control by authorized bodies over compliance with the contract concluded with the head of the state enterprise; head of the preservation and effective use of state property; b) control by the State Property Fund of Ukraine over the use of leased integral property complexes of state enterprises and leased state property; c) accounting and financial reporting of business entities, as well as control and supervision over their condition and reliability; d) audit of financial statements; e) state financial audit; f) internal control and internal audit in the budget process. It is noted that the current legislation does not make a clear distinction between the functions of control and supervision, especially in cases where it concerns the powers of authorized public authorities, which in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 19 of the Constitution of Ukraine are obliged to act only on the basis, within the powers and in the manner prescribed by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine.

The article considers the features of the state institutions activities related to their organizational structure, areas of their activity and the composition of objects under control. It defines the main directions of internal control in the budgetary sphere and reveals the features of the budget process management. The author highlights the topical issues related to the necessity of strengthening the regulation of the state institutions activities and improving the internal control system. The purpose of the research is to analyze the procedure for organizing internal financial control in the state institutions and determine the main directions for its improvement. In the course of the research, the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, deduction, logical thinking, and the dialectic method of cognition were used. The peculiarities of the organization of internal control in state institutions are related to the fact that they face a dual task. On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the rational use of budget funds and resources allocated for the maintenance of their apparatus. On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure control over the rational distribution and effective use of budget funds in subordinate organizations. The actuality of considering the issues of internal control regulation is determined by the necessity of creating a cross-cutting risk-oriented internal control system aimed at the effective use of public resources provided for organizations. The results of the research include the development of a methodological approach to improving the mechanisms of organizing internal financial control in federal executive bodies. It is concluded that strengthening the regulation and unification of internal control in the state institutions contributes to improving the quality of public resource management.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the essence, factors and economic mechanism of development of integration and cooperation and their role in the effective activity of entrepreneurship formation in the agrarian sphere of economy. The economic essence of integrated and cooperative entities and the interdependence of these categories are determined. The essence of integrated structures is substantiated, the concept of integrated structure and cooperative is clarified. The development of integration processes ensures the efficiency of the agrarian economy. In the last period, the integration of integrated structures based on the joint activity of legally independent economic entities aimed at the competitiveness of producers due to the effect of scale and closed cycle has become widespread. Justifying their efforts on the basis of corporatization, integration, cooperation and clustering, business entities achieve the best results of production activity. Agricultural cooperatives may be members of large-scale agro-industrial associations. A proposal for the characterization of integration and cooperative formations through the establishment of inter-economic links using cluster form mechanisms has been developed. It is revealed that further development will be gained by the product organizations of the local structure of mainly organizational and legal forms of simple societies and unions. Instead, simple societies can be seen as a first step towards establishing agricultural service cooperatives. It is proved that cooperation and integration of interested economic entities create an economic base for sustainable development not only of the material and technical potential of the associations, but also of all socio-economic infrastructure where the interests of the state and producers and consumers of products are realized while guaranteeing the state stable socio-economic relations.

Financial Audit

Since 2013, there has been an active transformation of the regulatory framework related to the implementation of international standards of internal audit in Russian practice, which regulates the organization and implementation of internal financial control and internal financial audit in the general government sector. However, the regulatory framework is constantly undergoing changes that are associated with the need to take into account the specifics of the functioning of these organizations. Particular attention is paid to the development of the methodological foundations of internal financial control and audit on the basis of amendments made by the Federal Law of July 26.07.2019, 199-FZ to the Budget Code of the Russian Federation. In particular, internal financial control was removed from the budgetary powers of participants in the budget process. When these changes were implemented, a lot of questions arose, such as the exclusion of internal financial control as a separate budgetary authority means that this type of control can be omitted, journals and internal control cards are not kept.

The article highlights the views of scientists on the allocation of periods (stages) in the history of internal control, which differ in the following features: the emergence and development of socio – economic relations that existed at different times; diversification of objects and subjects of control; complicating the tasks of control over the different levels of development of productive forces and equipment of each society; specific methodological techniques. Thus, the first manifestations of control are observed during the period of primitive communal system. The period of slavery is considered the stage of the emergence of internal control. Characteristic of this period was physical coercion to work. In the period of the feudal system, the peculiarities of the development of socio-economic formation of European states are the distinction between external and internal audit, and accounting registers to reflect the facts of economic life, which served for entries in the accounts of the General Ledger. In addition, control activities were manifested in the movement of credit and settlement transactions between buyers, in settlements between buyers and banks, in production processes and private ownership of the means of production. The capitalist system of production did not require many special control bodies, and its functions were carried out directly by the owners of the means of production. The basis of capitalism was the private property of the bourgeoisie on the means of production, but not on the worker, who at that time received more freedom. It was during the communist formation that thorough work was carried out on the methodological support of internal economic control, but its active development began after the declaration of independence of Ukraine, by borrowing the foundations in foreign countries. Thus, the periodization presented in the article helps to trace the historical aspect of the development and formation of internal control as a control system as a whole, in a certain period of time in which.

We investigate the chief audit executive’s (CAE) internal audit supervisory role by examining the change in internal audit monitoring effectiveness following the turnover of CAEs. Using a sample of firms listed on the small and medium enterprise board of China’s stock exchange, we find that CAE turnover is accompanied by a reduction in financial reporting/internal control quality and that the reduction is more pronounced for firms whose successor CAEs have lower financial expertise than their predecessors. Further analysis shows that the negative association with financial reporting/internal control quality is stronger when the turnover is for personal reasons than when it is for internal transfer of the CAE. These findings are robust to a battery of sensitivity checks, including placebo tests and matching diagnostics. Our results highlight the importance of the CAE for a firm’s internal audit functions.

Survey Responses

SUMMARY Based on survey responses from approximately 500 Chief Audit Executives (CAEs) and other internal auditors, this article provides an insider's view of the perceived strength of organizations' internal controls (i.e., internal control over financial reporting) in the Control Environment, Risk Assessment, and Monitoring components of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations' (COSO 1992a) Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Although the respondents largely rate control strength as relatively high, we identify several areas for potential improvement of internal controls, especially related to assessing the “tone at the top,” as well as following up on deviations from policy and management override of controls. In analyzing individual control elements, we find that public companies' controls are consistently rated as more effective than those of other organizations. We also find a number of interesting differences across key industries, especially in the Monitoring component, where banks and other financial services firms appear to have more robust Monitoring controls than do healthcare and other services firms. The component-level analysis reveals that internal control component strength is positively related to the CAE reporting primarily to the audit committee, public company status, and the average tenure of the internal audit function staff, among other findings. Based on the survey findings, we describe key implications relevant to internal and external auditors, accounting researchers and educators, and management.

<p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US">An audit committee is viewed as an essential self-regulatory internal governance instrument that is expected to provide an oversight role over the entire process of financial reporting. An internal audit is also one of the corporate governance cornerstones that is essential for the effective monitoring of the operating performance of internal control. To ensure its effectiveness, the audit committee monitors the resources available to the internal audit, and internal control functions should be directly reported to the audit committee. This study analyses the effect of audit committee characteristics on internal audit budget in Malaysia, where data on internal audit budget is available and how well audit committee monitors the internal audit function is questionable. Our study also opens the door to an unanswered question, that is, whether an audit committee index is related to internal audit budget. Data of 96 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia for a three-year period, 2012-2014, was utilized to achieve this end. The regression results show that audit committee meeting and index are significantly and positively associated with internal audit budget. They also indicate that audit committee tenure has a significant and negative impact on internal audit budget. The findings of the study support the recent policy initiatives in relation to audit committee and internal audit. They also serve as a wake-up call to policy makers in requiring more committed and skilled members on the audit committee.</span></p>

Study Results

This study aims to understand the features of an effective audit committee and its role in strengthening financial reporting. A questionnaire based survey was circulated to public listed companies on the Amman Stock Exchange (Banking, insurance, and financial institutions). The study was aimed at internal audit managers and finance managers. Out of 156 questionnaires, we received 110 back which represents a 71% response rate. The study results show that the research respondents have a good level of education and experience. In addition, there is a relationship between internal controls, international standards on auditing, institute of internal audit; Jordan securities commission requirements, external audit, understanding of audit committee functions, and financial reporting. Furthermore, the internal control, international standard on auditing and institute of internal audit, Jordan securities commission requirements, External audit, understanding of audit committee functions can explain a significant amount of the variability in financial reporting. Finally, the research results also show that age and gender make a difference for our respondents when they evaluate financial reporting. The study like other cross sectional studies is not free of limitations. Managerial implications and new avenues of future research are supplied. Future research also can borrow the research model and apply a longitudinal study to solve the cross sectional study problems.

The paper investigates organization of internal audit at risk-oriented enterprises. The differences between traditional and risk-oriented approaches of internal audit at enterprises are considered. The risk-oriented internal audit allows us to investigate not only financial risks that arise in internal control and accounting, and the risks of differentiated audit are to evaluate various risks groups: financial, operational, technical, informational, etc. Each group has a corresponding hierarchy. Thus, financial risks include accounting risks (second level), which in accordance with IFRS and GAAP requirements include three groups of economic risks: market risk, credit risk and risk of main activity - third level. The risk-oriented internal audit allows you to evaluate the risks at the level of the enterprise divisions. The introduction of the principles and postulates of the concept of "liability centers" in the enterprise allows, for example, in the implementation of expert risk assessment, use personal opinion of managers and specialists of various units in the formation of the chain of values of the enterprise. The risk-oriented internal audit focuses on assessing risks that are not enough or excessively controlled. At the same time, risks are taken into account by the level of significance on the Luckyert scale: minor, moderate and large. But for each subdivision, the level of materiality can be different - it is necessary to calculate the integral risk for the enterprise in general. The risk map of the financial department of the enterprise is built on the basis of the concept of stakeholders. It has been proved that the risk map allows monitoring of the risks of significant distortion of accounting (financial) and non-financial reporting in terms of responsibility centers. The prospects for further research are determined: the development of internal audit documents using the principles of risk-oriented approach - an audit plan, audit program, audit report, schedule document circulation of internal audit service, etc.
