The article is devoted to the importance of non-financial indicators of reporting on the sustainable development of Russian economic entities and their role in making effective management decisions that determine the strategy for the functioning of the entity. Modern Russian conditions of doing business and managing economic entities determine the importance of information flows in the political, social and economic sphere. Lack of information distorts management decisions made on the basis of incomplete and often inaccurate data. Many economic entities seek to obtain the necessary amount of information to carry out their financial and economic activities and, along with financial reporting, they form public non-financial reporting for ensuring sustainable development and making strategic decisions, both now and in the future. Public non-financial reporting of an economic entity, as a rule, reflects more extensive information, considering the rules of corporate governance; strategic goals and priorities of the economic entity. This information reflects the key events of the year, the main indicators of financial and economic activity, competitive advantages, socially significant development directions and main target targets. Based on indicators of economic and production activities, social and environmental performance of an economic entity, interaction with stakeholders (local communities, including social investments, charity, sponsorship, etc.) is revealed. On the basis of public non-financial reporting, risk management of an economic entity calculates social, environmental, economic risks and determines ways to prevent or minimize their impact, which in turn contributes to obtaining economically advantageous indicators determining the level of sustainable development of economic entities.

This paper presents the influence that the sustainable development strategy has over the economic environment and especially over the national accounting model. Generally, the strategies of the sustainable development are carefully monitored and the periodic evaluation of them is a defining element. The processes involved in the evolution of the economic activities support the pylons of sustainable development and it integrates in this process the future request and offer. The elaboration of these strategies in the long run represents a primordial objective of the economic entities. The function of foresight from within the accounting model is used to showcase the strategy and to establish the mission that the economic entity has. By actively involving the accounting model, the internal and external information is contained into one single process. A different reason for which the accounting model is headed towards this direction is the fact that the objectives established in the long run contain at least one of the different environmental, social and economic factors, achieving at least one specific pylon of the sustainable development. Discussing assumed objectives, organizing programs and strategies of education and improvement in the field of sustainable development are key elements. These can be analyzed carefully within the entity and can guide the economic activity towards planning the strategy starting from its own accounting model. Respecting everything that has been mentioned, the integration of the sustainable development’s aspects needs to complete the process of sustainable development specific to the economic entity’s objectives and the accounting model.

The economy of our country is going through a difficult period, which is aggravated by endless sanctions and difficult economic conditions in the world, which in turn affects the level of sustainable development of Russian economic entities. The primary problem of instability in terms of sustainable development of Russian companies is determined by the inability of economic entities to respond effectively to changes in the internal and external environment. In this regard, there is a need to establish an effective mechanism for managing sustainable development. One of the tools of this mechanism is non-financial reporting. The complexity of the complex analysis of the sustainability of development due to the large number and variety of financial and non-financial factors affecting the sustainable development of the economic entity, and therefore their study is a certain complexity. First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that Russian companies, as well as foreign ones, are guided by the level and volume of harmful emissions into the atmosphere, water bodies and soil. The reports show the resources consumed and their classification, the level of education and the age composition of the staff, as well as social factors focused on the average wage level, the involvement of personnel in the production process, the possibility of training and other non-financial factors. Do not forget about the socio-cultural, investment and other factors affecting the economic entity as a whole. It is important to understand that economic actors seeking to benefit from the transition to sustainable development often have a longer time horizon and a broader set of objectives than traditional companies. As a rule, they are dissatisfied with the status quo and want to act socially responsible, as well as to protect the environment. They value employee well-being, society, culture and future generations. However, without being able to ignore short-term challenges, success in implementing the concept of sustainable development is more complex and time-consuming.

Education must guide students’ emotional development, not only to improve their skills and help them achieve their maximum performance, but to establish the foundations of a more cooperative and compassionate society. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, therefore, implies focusing on emotional aspects as well as financial, social, environmental, and scientific objectives. In this line, the goal of this study is to show how emotional intelligence, which is an essential dimension in the development and management of emotional competences required to build sustainable societies, plays a key role in optimising student’s academic performance in the classroom through compassion and academic commitment. The research model was tested with a questionnaire addressed to 550 students from four higher education institutions and one secondary school. The results of a structural equation analysis confirmed the study hypotheses. Emotional intelligence was shown to be positively related to compassion and higher levels of commitment, which, consequently, led to better academic performance. This finding will encourage interest in developing emotional intelligence, not only for its long-term value in training healthy citizens, but also for its short-term results in the classroom.

The essence of effective management of each business entity depends primarily on transparency and disclosure of information about its financial and economic activities. The financial report itself covers all important information about the state of the enterprise and provides an opportunity to obtain financial status with it by the interested user for further analysis and decision-making on further activities. As a rule, investors of creditors, state bodies, representatives who are preparing in construction with the business entity are interested in financial reporting. In order to provide more detailed and informative financial reporting to users, it is necessary to compile it with international standards, which act as tools for globalization of the economy and contribute to the development of global economic relations. During 2020–2021, the activities of enterprises took place in extremely difficult conditions, which is why the pandemic significantly affected the financial reporting indicators. Today, there is an appropriate use of intelligent technology and computer technology in the formation of financial statements. Financial statements based on taxonomies of financial statements for IFRS are prepared and presented in a single electronic format using Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). XBRL is a generally accepted international standard for presenting financial statements in accordance with IFRS in electronic form. With the help of IFRS, Ukrainian companies have more effectively solved the following tasks: attracting investments and loans from the world's largest companies and banks, the ability to service financing from foreign banks and other organizations; placement of shares on international stock exchanges; providing the company's management with reliable information for making management decisions, as well as evaluating their adoption. Thus, today the economy of Ukraine depends on the choice of IFRS as a conceptual basis for accounting and its practical implementation. After all, the financial statements are fully open to internal and external users to make informed management decisions regarding cooperation with the relevant entity.
