Subject. The article addresses the organization and implementation of process approach when setting up a system of internal control of an economic entity, which ensures the management of effectiveness of divisions’ activities. Objectives. We aim at investigating the organization of the internal control system of an economic entity, based on its activities, accounting policies, classification of business processes, and risk identification. Methods. The study rests on methods of theoretical generalization, structural grouping, logical analysis, as well as the analysis of scientific and practical literature and accounting and control practice. Results. The analysis of practices revealed a number of problems in the implementation of the process approach in the accounting and control activities of economic entities, in particular, insufficient understanding and unpreparedness of management to implement the process approach, the lack of a system for regulating business processes, the lack of interconnection between the system of control indicators and the created business processes. It is advisable to divide the process of organizing the internal control system into a number of stages, i.e. the definition of activities, typology of business processes, risk identification, testing the internal control system’s quality. Conclusions. The introduction of the process approach in organizing an internal control system involves the systematization of information, depending on the nature of the business process, requiring permanent updating. The emergence of non-standard situations makes it necessary to adjust the boundaries of business processes. The resources of accounting business processes are personnel, software, equipment, and other infrastructure elements.

Modern business conditions are based on the laws and characteristics of the development of market relations. Successful and stable activity of any business entity today directly depends on the effectiveness of the management system, the most important element of which is properly organized control. In the activities of any business entity, the place, role and importance of control are as important as accounting, management and analysis. The domestic science of control has rather deep roots, and the multifaceted nature and depth of the concept of “control” are closely related to the concepts of “management” and “management accounting”. In conditions of increasing competition, when the problems of increasing the effectiveness of control are significantly updated, the issues of organizing internal control, its development and integration are becoming more relevant. The study of the category of "internal control", its subjects and objects, the place in the management process allows us to identify in its structure individual species characterized by a targeted orientation and methodological features. The practical implementation of the internal control system should be carried out in accordance with the basic principles of its effective organization, which are closely interconnected, and the procedure for combining them to a greater extent depends on the prevailing specific business conditions and circumstances. Integration of the internal control system into the general management system will ensure the reliability of information at various levels, as well as significantly reduce the potential for making erroneous management decisions. The principles of making a choice when implementing a rational and economically reasonable accounting policy of an autonomous institution depend directly on the valid regulations of the accounting standards of the public sector system of the economy. This aspect makes it possible to influence not only the effectiveness of the use of material, labor and financial resources, but also to ensure a proper level of capital units’ turnover, to obtain additional internal sources of capital investments financing and current assets, to attract external resources to expand the scope of an autonomous institution. The application of various models of internal control, including elements of a risk-oriented approach allows to carry out to the right degree conceptual process of organizing enterprise control. The model of the internal control system of an autonomous institution suggested by the authors takes into account a systematic approach, risk orientation considering factors of the internal and external environment, incorporating the model in business processes, with regard to the ultimate goal of implementation - increasing the efficiency of business processes while reducing expenses and increasing profit in the financial responsibility centers. Indicative management model is widely used as the foundation of management. As a rule, it is based on a spatial vision of internal control, and as an analysis, depending on the activity type of an economic entity, the business processing is allocated, taking into account the influence of various indicators that reflect the factors influence of the external and internal environment, in particular, in the context of parameters of competitive advantage. We consider the use of an effective model to be the most promising model of internal control. Based on the author's idea of an integrated model of internal control, its main components will be: a systematic approach, a focus on risks, taking into account factors of the internal and external environment, incorporating the model in business processes and financial responsibility centers. Furthermore the main object of the suggested model of internal control will be risks arising as a result of the influence of factors of the internal and external environment. The purpose of the suggested model is to increase the efficiency of business processes existing in the economic entity while simultaneously reducing expenses and increasing profits in financial responsibility centers. Considering that the element “control environment” of internal control within the framework of the current legislation has changed to the institutional internal environment, it is noteworthy that the introduction into application practice of institutional environment of an autonomous institution internal control consists of the following levels: external and internal. The external environment in the form of formal and informal institutes is prevailing, having an impact on the internal environment of an economic entity, represented by its own specific cultural and functional “micro institutes” (formal and informal).

The internal control system is examined as a variety of internal control of an economic entity on the one hand, and as the foundation for transitioning towards tax monitoring on the other. Such approach allows assessing this structure from the perspective of taxpayers, as well as from the standpoint of implementation of public function of tax control. The object of this article is the process of improving internal control system of tax obligations by the taxpayer in the conditions of digitalization of tax administration. The subject of this article is the theoretical aspects of internal control as an administrative function, as well as comparative analysis of the Russian &ldquo;internal control&rdquo; system with the classical COSO model. The scientific novelty consists in comprehensive research of the internal control of tax obligations, determination of its essential characteristics, &nbsp;and assessment of the consequences of formalization of requirements thereof, which led to the conclusion on transformation of the internal control of the taxpayer from the area of reputational merits of the economic entity and internal administration instruments to the subject of public control by tax authorities in tax monitoring processes. It remains to be seen whether state interference in such delicate sphere of activity of an economic entity as internal control is justified. The goal of this research consists in the analysis of the effective requirements of the Federal Tax Service of Russia from the perspective of possibility of their implementation by the particular taxpayers. The article provides the examples of assessment of certain components of the internal control system based on the criteria set by the Federal Tax Service of Russia. The author formulates the definition of control procedure, carries out classification of the aforementioned criteria; develops the examples of effective design of some controls; as well as presents the examples of assessment of IT systems from in the context of extended requirements of the Federal Tax Service of Russia.

Traceability systems, including the approval and control of documents, are increasingly assuming a pivotal role in the workflow of information across an organization and they can be classified as an element of any internal control system at the organizational context which contributes for a continuous auditing and helps to manage and minimize organizational risk. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology that can enable the development of architectures which provide an adequate response to this requirement of internal control. Thus, this chapter, as main objective, raises awareness of the importance of these systems in an organizational environment. Moreover this chapter’s objective is to propose a modular and flexible solution which simultaneously traces, monitors, and searches the flow and location of documents in an organization, using RFID technology.
