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 object of the study is the implementation of equality principle before the law by fixing equal rights and obligations of prisoners in the normative legal acts of the Soviet state. The subject of research: provisions of normative legal acts of the Provisional Government, departmental normative acts of the People’s Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR and People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the RSFSR. As a methodological basis for cognition, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, de-duction are used, which allow us to investigate aspects of legal reality directly related to the implementation of the principles of penal enforcement (correctional labor) legislation, to formulate reasonable conclusions. Private scientific methods: formal-legal and comparative-legal – allow us to identify differences in the legal regulation of the legal status of prisoners in the pre-war period. As a result of the conducted research, we make a reasonable conclusion that the principle of equality before the law, although it was not enshrined in specific norms regulating the procedure for the execution and serving of imprisonment, however, was manifested in the provisions regulating the legal status of persons deprived of liberty. The notions of equality before the law of both citizens in general and prisoners in particular were not the fundamental basis of the legislation of the Soviet State. Prisoners were differentiated on the basis of social affiliation, due to: 1) the principle of class approach proclaimed by the Constitution of the RSFSR; 2) the functioning of two systems of places of deprivation of liberty for prisoners with different social status; 3) regulating the execution (serving) of sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty by various regulatory legal acts.

Problem setting. The importance of financial control in the formation of market relations is significantly increasing, because such control contributes to the successful implementation of the financial policy of the state, ensuring the proper formation, distribution (redistribution) and the use of funds accumulated in public funds. In addition, it should be noted that financial control is a means of regulating economic activity. In this context, legal support for financial control is of great importance. Independent financial control is a form of non-governmental financial control that can be exercised by specialized organizations – audit firms or auditors. It is significant that Ukraine recently adopted a law regulating the procedure for auditing and conducting financial audits. It is the Law of Ukraine “On Audit of Financial Reporting and Auditing” № 2258-VIII of December 21. 2017, which came into force on 1 October. 2018. Analysis of recent researches and publications. We emphasize that the study of the concept of “financial control”, the definition of its types, forms and methods, as well as the legal status of the entities that carry it out, were engaged in the following scientists: L. K. Voronova, О. P. Hetmanets, T. A. Zhadan, M. P. Kucheryavenko, P. P. Latkovsky, Yu. A. Mandrychenko, L. A. Savchenko and others. However, changes in the legal regulation of financial control, issues related to the consolidation of the legal status of entities exercising independent financial control need to be examined in detail. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze the legal status of entities exercising independent financial control in Ukraine. Article’s main body. In the article the author reveals the peculiarities of the legal status of the Audit Chamber of Ukraine as a subject of independent financial control in Ukraine. Іt can be stated that the Audit Chamber of Ukraine, which is a professional organization, is a direct participant in the relations related to the organization and implementation of independent financial control, in particular, audit control. Given the compulsory nature of acquiring membership in the AСU, the statutory purpose and activities of this organization, this organization can not be considered public. Conclusions and prospects for the development. It is stated that the legal status of the specified entity is characterized by a certain multidimensionality. In particular, the Audit Chamber of Ukraine is a professional, self-regulatory organization that is authorized to perform public functions and is managed through specially created bodies. The above shows that the current legislation of Ukraine reflects a new approach to the regulation of independent financial control, in particular by defining the powers, rights and duties of the Audit Chamber of Ukraine.
