Modern business conditions require updating approaches to the management system, and, accordingly, managerial accounting. Therefore, the issues of deepening research of sectoral specifics of managerial accounting acquire special importance and its influence on the organization and conduct of this type of accounting. The purpose of writing an article is to study the features of the interpretation of the content of the term "managerial accounting" and their impact on the organization of this type of accounting in agrarian enterprises. Scientists, who investigated history of development of managerial accounting, diverge in thoughts on the period of managerial accounting and to further periodize its development. For the first time, the introduction of managerial accounting in practical activities of national enterprises was violated in October 1998 with the adoption of a Program for reforming the accounting system with the application of international standards. Most western researchers support the statement that managerial accounting is a process of preparing information necessary to manual for management. Investigation of the content of existing definitions of managerial accounting allowed a number of conclusions. First, it concerns the definition of managerial accounting at the legislative level. Since managerial accounting is a comprehensive area of activity, it indicates the need to amend the text of the Law of Accounting and financial statements where these circumstances are not taken into account. Secondly, when developing a methodology for managerial accounting in domestic agrarian enterprises, it is necessary to take into account, except for the world experience of accounting practice, achievements of domestic scientists, as well as the specifics and real state of functioning of business entities. Thirdly, the spectrum of opinions on determining the managerial accounting system is very wide. In this case, the interpretation of its content over time changes has been presented. Fourth, in existing studies and definitions of managerial accounting in agriculture there is no sector color. One of the most important tasks of managerial accounting for managers of agrarian enterprises should be the formation of complete and reliable accounting information on the results of the activities of production and functional divisions of enterprises. Maintaining management accounting at the enterprise should be theoretically substantiated, methodically justified and suitable for practical use. Awareness of the need and desire to introduce managerial accounting is not enough to implement this intention. The size of the enterprise needs to provide information to all levels of management, as well as the ratio of expenses and benefits from the introduction of managerial accounting should be played crucial value.

Environmental responsibility of business entities is a prerequisite for the survival of people, which is why it is an important aspect of corporate responsibility. The purpose of the paper is to determine the content of corporate and social responsibility of business entities in the field of environmental protection in terms of its interaction with the state on the basis of public-private partnership.

At present, the problems of sustainable economic development still remain relevant for many regions. This research presents the idea that the stability of the territorial economy and the socially safe state of society are interrelated. The hypothesis was formulated that social immunity of the region is one of the sources of its sustainable economic development. To prove this hypothesis the following tasks were solved: social immunity assessment methodology was developed; the methodology was tested on the territories of the Ural region; the dependence of the territorial sustainable development on its social immunity was revealed. The methodology allows us to model the core of social immunity of any territory. It is based on the Frobenius norm, which reflects both positive and negative transformations of society. Approbation of the methodology for assessing social immunity was carried out on the example of the Sverdlovsk, Kurgan, Chelyabinsk and Tyumen oblasts during 2010-2018. The research made it possible to prove the hypothesis and to conclude that lack of social immunity in the region leads to poor economic effects received by business entities and the territory’s susceptibility to economic destabilizing external impacts, which are both random and systematic.
