The purpose of the paper is to improve institutions and legislation on public finance management in Ukraine, to define the concept of "financial control", to consider the process of development and formation of financial control, to highlight the financial control`s features, to justify the need for long-term financial control. Financial control and financial management in the enterprise are very important for every state. The current state of economic improvement in Ukraine should increase the role of the state in regulating the economy in order to identify differences between the law, recognizing the standards and functioning of financial control. At the present stage in Ukraine, the issue of establishing unification of public finance management remains unresolved: there is a discrepancy in state legislation. The Ukrainian economy`s growth leads to an additional need for financial control in a moment. Thus, its role and importance in securing the assets of different types of members’ organizations, the equipment`s efficiency, labour and finance.

Property asset management can be defined as the process of decision – making and implementation relating to the acquisition, use, and disposition of real property. This definition applies to both the private and public sectors, even though in the government sector, the term itself was not in common usage until recently. Over last two decades, however, a new discipline has emerged that looks more critically at the important component of public wealth and seeks to apply standards of economic efficiency and effective organizational and resource management. Public sector property management has been regarded as a structured process that seeks to ensure best value for money in serving the strategic public sector needs and enhancing the economic development and competitiveness. There are governments that are only beginning to seek improvements in the management of publicly owned property with a goal of putting into use various types of government asset items, under the supervision of professional management, with a view to ensuring quality public services and welfare to the citizens, governments that have just recently embarked in the long term financial management reforms and strategic public sector property management reform in particular, and governments called “advanced reformers” offering their conceptual and valuable practical experience in the sphere of public property management. Starting from the concept that public authorities have to be fully accountable to the public and that the whole of government assets need and can be effectively managed, and widely accepted thesis that effective government asset management is a very important generator for creating a supportive entrepreneurial environment, and raising the competitiveness of the entire economy, in this paper we analyse the drivers of international property management reforms in the public sector and provide a comment on public sector property management in developed countries and (post) transition countries. Then we analyse the characteristics of commenced public sector property management reform in Croatia which may be considered as challenges ahead of Bosnia and Herzegovina authorities in structuring their national public sector property management reform, given the current state of play.

The link between financial management and economic growth is a matter that is constantly being studied and discussed by various authors. The banking industry is an important source of economic development in the country, both in the private and public sectors. The lack of data for a multi-annual period remains a continuing problem for Kosovo's economy. Through multiannual data researchers and scholars will be able to draw the most accurate conclusions for transition countries.Through this study, we will show the empirical link between financial management, the banking system, economic growth in transition countries, and especially data from Kosovo. We will domenstrate throw the Regression Model (OLS) and three explanatory variables: Inflation, Credit to Household Economics and Credit Enterprise, we will reach the hypothesis conclusion.The results of regression show a positive and negative correlation between financial management, credit, and economic growth. From the results obtained, lies the hypothesis: where credit to households has a negative impact on economic growth. But the hypothesis is based: where the credit of the enterprise has a positive economic growth, while the offspring turns negative with economic growth.The purpose of this work is to fill this poor gap. New and ongoing research makes data completion, delivering the most accurate results and scope for improving financial policies.Various banking functions point to their importance for an effective and stable banking system as indispensable for the country's economy. Therefore, bank supervisors have an increased responsibility for monitoring and maintaining the healthy operation of a banking industry in a country. Moreover, individual entrepreneurs or investors usually lack sufficient capital to continue with their projects. Commercial banks provide mediation services that unite savers and investors by channeling theoretically investment funds for uses that bring the highest rate of return, increasing the specialization and division of labor (Todaro, 2003). The neoclassical growth model tells us that an increase in effective savings investments in new and innovative projects is one of the main economic growth generators (quoted in Armenta). The provision of credit is of utmost importance because mobilized assets can be rationally utilized, using them in the sphere of production, speeding up the reproduction process, turnover and other sectors, which are accounted for as sectors that accelerate economic development. Loans are very important and one of the main factors in stimulating economic development in the region, so the focus in the first part of this paper will be analysis of the role of loans and their impact on economic growth (credit growth in GDP) , where the main interest in this paper will be Kosovo.

The article assesses the main functional elements of public Finance management: planning, operational management and control. Financial planning and forecasting presently depend not only on macroeconomic and microeconomic factors, but also on geopolitical factors. Economic sanctions, which are still ongoing, have a particular impact, so it is impossible to make an accurate forecast in the management of public finances. Operational public financial management can never be considered without public resources designed to support and implement the activities of all areas of the country’s life. The paper pays special attention to the control function due to the lack of a single objective control system. To improve efficiency, the authors propose to use certain criteria: the performance criterion and the criterion of inappropriate use of budget funds. The paper calculates the dependence of Federal budget revenues on the level of gross domestic product (GDP) and the level of unemployment. The authors use for the calculation a standard form of regression equation that takes into account statistical correlations. The results of this study can be used to improve the efficiency of Federal budget revenue planning.

The public finance management system is an important lever for equalizing financial and budgetary disproportions in the context of institutional changes. The paper aims to substantiate the directions of development of the public financial management system. Economic and statistical methods and correlation-regression analysis methods are used to determine the relationship between the GDP deflator and the share of revenues, expenditures, the general government budget deficit, and public debt in GDP, assessing the features of the public financial management system in Ukraine and EU countries. This study reveals that one of the main restraining factors in the public finance system development is a significant level of uncertainty in economic processes, which intensifies macroeconomic fluctuations, significant indicators of the share of public debt and budget deficit of the state administration sector pose risks to financial and economic stability; their potential negative impact on socio-economic processes is much more destructive than the pro-cyclical nature of fiscal policy. From this point of view, the public finance management system should be directed at optimizing financial and budgetary tools to prevent the growth of public debt and budget deficit in gross domestic product, which determines the importance of substantiating further development directions of the public financial management system. It is concluded that the mechanism of public financial management in recent years is quite rigid and restrictive, in the context of institutional change expands the tools of public financial management and increases its impact on socio-economic processes.

Effective measures are taken under conditions of permanent improvement of financial management, based on the use of advanced information technologies, innovative methods for assessing the socio-economic situation of public-law entities. Theoretical and methodological bases of functioning of the budgetary planning system, the possible ways of its improvement in the context of institutional transformations are identified. During the period of actualization of strategic goal-setting in the economy, for the development of the financial management system in terms of improving the budget process, a detailed analysis and assessment of the impact of internal and external factors on the financial and economic environment is required. Opportunities to identify certain patterns and objective trends in the dynamics of macroeconomic indicators and parameters of budgets of the budgetary system are created on this basis. The timeliness of the use of such financial tools as budgeting, result orientation and program-targeted planning, the use of which allows to link the expenditures of public-law entities with the current financial policy, as well as to increase the degree of openness and transparency of the budgetary process, has been proved.
