Subject. The article investigates trends in the value of return on innovation. Objectives. The study aims to identify changes in return on innovation, using the case of leading Russian and foreign companies, to adjust the innovation management mechanism. Methods. I employed general scientific methods of research. Company official websites, market reviews and annual financial statements, patent databases of the European Patent Office, the Questel Orbit intellectual property portal, and the Google Patents search engine served as information base. Results. The study draws on the hypothesis that the value of innovation among Russian companies does not grow, despite the increase in funding for innovation. I tested the hypothesis, based on the working conditions of leading Russian companies in comparison with the performance of foreign companies. The study was conducted in three stages. It revealed divergent dynamics of the value of innovation of domestic and foreign enterprises. However, foreign companies show deviation from the average at a much higher level of the value of return on innovation as compared to Russian companies. Conclusions. Innovation has not become a factor for sustainable development of Russian companies. To change the current situation, it is necessary to reorient company's development strategy to ensure an increasing return on innovation.

Subject. The article addresses leader companies of the e-commerce market in terms of sales and capitalization, that make their financial statements publicly available. Objectives. The aim is to identify special aspects of capital structure management policies of the largest e-commerce players based on ratio analysis. Methods. The study employs general scientific methods of research. Results. The paper reveals the specifics of capital structure management of the global e-commerce market leaders. The leading companies prefer an aggressive approach to the formation of their capital structure, increasing the volume of borrowed capital in comparison with their equity. The management of companies tries to provide a moderate approach to capital structure management and debt servicing, demonstrating the ability to repay debts in a timely manner. Aggressive capital structure policy is conditioned by specific activities of e-commerce companies, requiring constant search for and attraction of additional financial resources for improving production processes by management. Conclusions. Key players have an aggressive capital structure policy. This feature is necessitated by the need to systematically attract additional financing to expand the business, increase sales volumes, capture and create new markets. E-commerce companies have to constantly improve technology, logistics processes, and render a good and excellent customer service.

Subject. This article discusses the methodological features of Russian Accounting Standard (PBU) 18/02 Income Tax Accounting when using the balance method to account for deferred taxes. It considers whether the clarification of permanent tax differences is justified, and it analyzes in detail the features of accounting for temporary differences and offers a visual and descriptive method for determining and correlating them in accounts. Objectives. The article aims to justify the reason for linking permanent tax differences to such accounting categories as Income and Expenses. It also aims to develop a methodological toolkit that simplifies the perception of the balance method and demonstrates the procedure for determining temporary differences. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of analysis, synthesis, observation, comparison, and other general scientific methods. Results. The article justifies the clarification of permanent differences from the position of accounting categories. It offers an original approach that helps visually classify temporary differences. The formalization of the balance method helped identify the logic of its reflection in accounting statements. Conclusions and Relevance. To ensure that accounting is not distorted due to the impact of taxation, it is necessary to develop a unified conceptual framework, as well as develop existing methods and introduce new ones that do not contradict the public concept of interaction between accounting and tax accounting. The research results are intended for training, scientific and practical activities of specialists in the field of accounting and audit, as well as students studying under this program, in order to study the features of applying the balance method for accounting for deferred taxes.

Subject. The article addresses modernization of lending facilities under concession agreements. It is important for evaluating the terms of credit transactions, effectiveness of credit projects, and the concessionaire's ability to repay the loan. Objectives. The purpose is to review the current financing mechanism and underpin approaches to improving the credit facilities within concession agreements. Methods. The study rests on general scientific methods, like the systems and logical analysis and synthesis, principles of induction and deduction, financial calculation techniques. The analytical part employs the balance method, methods of financial coefficients and the method of technical and economic estimates. Results. I analyzed the financial structure and special characteristics of concession agreements, parameters of concessionaires’ activities; considered the types of risks inherent in bank lending under concession agreements, methods for their identification and mitigation; offered a mechanism of lending, including the structure of credit transactions, restrictions for the financial condition of concessionaires, additional requirements and penalties for their non-fulfillment. The findings can help banks define lending parameters for concession agreements. The provided recommendations may be useful for consideration by the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Conclusions. It is possible to reduce the risks of lending under concession contracts, if their terms and conditions are stable, and if the lost income of concessionaires is compensated in the event of early termination. Reasonable tariffs for works and services and increased revenue collection will promote this type of lending.
