Public Internal Financial Control (PIFC) was developed in the late 90s as means for Eastern Bloc countries working toward full membership in the European Union (EU) to implement the necessary control systems to safeguard public resources. PIFC is an integral part of the National Strategy for Development and Integration (NSDI). This document, produced in March 2008, replaced the National Strategy for Social and Economic Development and set priorities and medium to long-term targets, strategic objectives for Albania and also includes a set of operating principles to ensure that government policies, planning and their implementation will be carried out in an integrated manner. The aim of this paper is first to list the reasons for implementing a different system and the importance of changing the system to Financial Management and Audit for Albania, and second, to examine, through a comparative analysis, the effectiveness of the implementation of the new system of financial management and control in the public sector comparing the two systems. By giving an opinion on each component of the system, this paper aims at analyzing, in a critical way, elements of the different perspectives of the two systems, their advantages and disadvantages.

The transition to a digital economy, as well as structural changes generated in connection with this and a set of theoretical, methodological and practical issues related to the development of organizational and methodological support of subjects of internal financial auditing in public sector organizations, are relevant and most interesting for scientific study. The last decade has undergone a fundamental change in the organization of internal financial audits, associated with the implementation of international norms and standards in the legislation of the Russian Federation. In accordance with the international concept of state internal financial control, the division of internal control and internal auditing functions is carried out. In Russia, such a distinction at the legislative level was made in July 2013 by amending the Budget Code of the Russian Federation and delegating the appropriate budgetary authority to the administrators of the federal budget. The government of the Russian Federation has approved a program to improve the efficiency of public finance management for the period until 2018, which indicates the need to improve the quality of financial management in executive bodies and state (municipal) institutions. The practical implementation of this task is associated primarily with improving the quality of internal financial control and auditing.

Bearing in mind the legislation that sets out the principles of sound financial management, a good understanding of the internal control mechanisms and how they work in practice is necessary. The established level of financial management and control among users of public funds is of unequal quality and has not sufficiently contributed to reducing weaknesses in internal control and raising management responsibility to the optimum level. In order to implement modern management concepts, public companies have to have large access to internal control mechanisms or "tools" to assist in management.Integrated management systems with their modern process approach in business organization and comprehensive and fast processing of information on business changes can significantly contribute to the quality of business control. Research on this issue is based on the fact that the introduction of control standards increases the orderliness and documentation of the system, which significantly contributes to the control of business processes. The aim of this paper is to show that the mutual interdependence of integrated management systems through the overall organization structure with the system of financial management and control, as their final outcome, ensure financial integrity and compliance with policies and procedures and promote effective management processes.

It first provides an overview of the two institutionsʼ origins before discussing their internal structures, powers, and their place in the institutional landscape of the EU. It then considers the institutions in context, with emphasis on their respective roles in financial control and the larger EU system, theories on their establishment and development, and their impact. The chapter concludes by assessing the contributions of OLAF and the Court of Auditors to the growing salience of financial management in the EU.

The issues of correlation of control, risks, accounting and analysis in the management of any processes are still relevant, have not found a clear solution and need to be studied and clarified.The first Chapter integrates two approaches to understanding the essence of control: as a risk-oriented activity and management process. At the same time, modern management control doctrines are considered from the point of view of their economic component. This approach made it possible to determine the ways of their use in domestic economic control. The second Chapter is devoted to theoretical research in relation to internal economic control and its tools, during which the author formulated the categories of internal and external economic and financial control, their principles and features of methodological support. The third Chapter contains a description of the main risk management models and a critical assessment of the ratio of control and risk, the primacy of each category in relation to each other.
