The article considers the economic security of port enterprises, which is an integral part of the development of these enterprises, the basis for improving the quality and competitiveness of port services. The following main areas were identified, changes in which significantly affect the deve-lopment of maritime transport, and which must be taken into account in the formation and implementation of the national maritime policy of Ukraine and the development strategy of individual enterprises in the maritime sector. Having analyzed all types of functional components of the integrated safety system of maritime transport enterprises, and taking into account significant features in the specifics of indivi-dual facilities (ports, shipping companies and coastal enterprises), the proposed classification of water safety threats in terms of three major water transport facilities separately, exposed to threats and dangers: economic security of coastal facilities and shore personnel, navigable economic security, port economic security. The peculiarities of ensuring maritime safety are the presence of a list of threats associated with the specifics of the operational activities of maritime transport enterprises. Factors in the organization of economic security relate to the functionality of its organizational and institutional support. Most of the existing approaches to solving the issues of economic security of the enterprise allowed to choose the most optimal set of principles of management of the economic security system: the principle of complexity, the principle of confidentiality provides, the principle of coordination and coherence of the enterprise. This study focuses on economic levers that are directly related to tracking and eliminating threats. Economic methods direct the implementation of the mechanism to reduce resource consumption, increase the profile and efficiency. Thus, increasing the profile is due to additional profits, reducing resource intensity − by optimizing resources and reducing costs when moving from a lower level of economic security profile to higher, efficiency increases when reducing resource intensity, as well as by increasing effects. Having analyzed all types of functional components of the integrated security system of maritime transport enterprises, and taking into account significant features in the specifics of individual facilities (ports, shipping companies and coastal enterprises), we propose to consider the classification of water transport security threats in terms of three major water transport facilities separately exposed to threats and dangers: economic security of coastal facilities and shore personnel, navigable economic security, port economic security. Thus, the peculiarities of maritime safety are the presence of a list of threats associated with the specifics of the operational activities of maritime transport enterprises. Factors in the organization of economic security relate to the functionality of its organizational and institutional support. The implementation of economic security requires from the maritime industry such qualities as reliability, flexibility and quality. These enterprises are becoming part of the system, which as a whole is a subject of competition, therefore, to ensure the competitiveness of the whole system, the enterprises of the maritime industry must provide an increasing range of services.

This article focuses on the study of organizational and institutional support of ecological and economic security at the global level as one of relevant modern research problems. It emphasizes the need for a harmonious combination of economic and environmental tools to ensure harmonious development and considers the concepts of institute, institutional unit, and institutional support. At the global level, the article analyzes approaches to the classification of institutional units of ecological economy and considers the main reasons for the complexity of the classification of international organizations. The classification of institutional units according to general and specific features at the international level is offered. According to general features, the classification provides for the division by time into permanent and periodic. According to the sphere of activity, a division into political-institutional units (integration, security, coordination), economic institutional units (energy, resource, transport and communication, agro-industrial, financial, trade, recreation, and services), social institutional units (social development, cultural and educational, health, and physical education) is envisaged. According to the organizational form, the division into governmental and non-governmental institutional units is proposed. According to the methods and principles of activity, the division into lawful, illegal, and hybrid institutional units is proposed. The expediency of allocating a classification group – hybrid organizations is substantiated. By specific features, the classification provides for the division by territorial distribution (global, regional, and group), based on membership (open, semi-open, and closed), on a structural basis (UN systems and non-UN systems). As a result of study, a system of classification of institutional units for ecological economy at the global level was proposed. The main problems of institutional support of greening at the global level are also highlighted.

Modern economic priorities, which predetermine the sustainability of the development of international trade are also predetermining the increase in the role of maritime transport in both business activities, ‒ social and environmental spheres. It should be borne in mind that the costs of ensuring these results are concentrated in the system of the sea conveyor industry and are used to be strictly relevant. Their effectiveness is largely displayed in the form of an emergency effect, which highly affects the demand of the consumers, which is, in its turn forms the amount of the provided services within the sea transport industries. At the same time, the subsystems of the maritime transport industry, in contrast to other activities, are governed by the international institutions which are also affecting the total results of their productions or transportation processes. Concerning the other part of the system, the investors of the merchant fleet and seaports should be focused not only on the entrepreneurial purposes, but on the external restrictions on their competitive implementation as well. Thus, one of the main problems is based on the balance of economic security and the system-wide security of the activities of enterprises of the maritime transport. It should be borne it mind that these particulars of the maritime transport, such as its port industry, the transportation system, the logistics operations and other necessary parts and spheres are highly connected and are very dependent on the maritime industry. The mentioned above information requires the choice of the management methods and maintaining the subsystems of the maritime transport industry from the system security. In turn, it is necessary to clarify the essence of this category with the provision of the above, which will subsequently strengthen the stability and reliability of the maritime industry both by the individual components and internationally. As far as known, the maritime transport is built on many different certain parts and organizations most of which cannot exist without each other.

AbstractAlthough few maritime endeavors are more prosaic than point-to-point ferry operations, on March 6, 1987, the ro-ro (roll on/roll off) passenger ferry Herald of Free Enterprise capsized 4 min after leaving port, with the loss of at least 188 lives. This paper reviews onboard as well as shoreside human factor issues that contributed to the casualty and discusses how the loss triggered a shift in international maritime safety from reactive response to a “safety culture”-oriented philosophy currently imposed through the International Safety Management Code (“ISM Code”). While full particulars have yet to be disclosed, certain similarities with the January 13, 2012 Costa Concordia casualty suggest the maritime industry is slow to apply lessons expensively learned in lost lives and property.

Maritime security in recent decades has always been a separate issue, one that has been acute for both shipowners and crews of seagoing vessels. It has been marked by periods of relative stability and periods of emerging and growing threats, from the days of the sailing fleet to the era of ironclad steam shipbuilding. Certainly, it is difficult to overestimate the significant role of the scientific community, which has long investigated this problem, revealing its theoretical and practical sides. The professional experience of maritime industry specialists has also sufficiently served to ensure that systematic interest in the issue has provided the basis for the development of strategies and integrated approaches that ensure the safety of vessels and crews at modern levels. Without the latest advances in maritime safety, shipping, as an industry, would not be able to achieve the current level of reliability in ensuring shipboard processes. Every generation of mankind has prioritized maritime safety, contributing to improving its standards and stressing the importance of continuous development of the theoretical framework. At least more than twenty million tons of cargo and more than five hundred thousand passengers move daily by water transport, so the concept of maritime safety extends not only to the safety of life at sea, the safety of vessels and the safety of cargo, but also to the prevention of maritime accidents and pollution. The increasing share of maritime and river transport in international freight and passenger traffic has led to the need for increased maritime safety requirements due to the technical upgrading of maritime transport. This process is based on the principles of current control over the process of vessel operation and prompt acquisition of necessary data and relevant information during the voyage, anticipated route and control over the state of work parameters of technical means of the vessel, but the key aspect of safety is assessment of existing threats and development of ways and methods of ensuring vessel safety.

The article is devoted to the study of problems in the field of economic security of the enterprise. The essences of the concepts «danger» and «threat» are analyzed, their main properties are determined. The main types of danger are identified, according to the magnitude of the possible consequences. The main types of hazards include «warning», which has the following characteristics. They are: set of circumstances that have developed in the enterprise, to which it is necessary to react. The peculiarities of the evolution of threats have been studied. The actuall scheme of evolution of threats has been built, considering the concepts of «risk», «danger» and «threat». The classification of economic threats and risks according to the main features (by area of distribution and objects of influence) as components of economic security of the enterprise are formed. The main causes of economic threats have been identified. They are: insufficient adaptation of individual business entities to dynamic and constantly changing market conditions; general insolvency of business entities; growing crime; low level of labor discipline and responsibility of employees of enterprises, insufficient legal regulation of some activities; as well as low professional level of a significant part of the management and employees of the enterprise. It is determined that the causes of physical threats are: inefficient personnel policy of business entities, low professional training, insufficient level of security of enterprises, banks, low control over the work process of employees. The causes of intellectual threats are studied. They are first of all inefficient personnel policy of the enterprise, secondly, violation of non-disclosure agreements and the principle of publicity of results, then, intensification of competition in the markets along with low level of information security or its absence. It is proposed that in order to effectively ensure the economic security of the enterprise, first of all, it is necessary to focus on the presence of various threats, risks and dangers and try to minimize their impact in time.

Purpose. Problems of the existing theory, methodology and organization of accounting need to be solved taking into account practical requirements of modern management. In turn, this provides an opportunity to expand the functionality of accounting to make informed decisions, focused on achieving the efficiency of business operations and maximize the value of business, which contributes to the increased importance of accounting in management. This testifies to the relevance of the chosen topic , which determined the directions of the research, which requires in-depth scientific research, its scientific-methodological and practical importance. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to systematize existing approaches and to improve the classification of accounting functions in accordance with the requirements of the management system. Methods. In the process of researching the growth of accounting functionality in the management of agrarian business used general scientific methods of knowledge of reality, including: structural-logical and semantic analysis - to clarify and streamline the terminology in the conceptual apparatus; induction and deduction - for parameterization of accounting functionality in management; grouping and classification - to develop methodological principles and systematize the classification features of accounting functions. The research is based on general and specific methods of studying the economic processes, facts and phenomena of management requests for increasing the functionality of accounting for agricultural business management. The scientific base of the research was scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on accounting functions in the management system, materials of international scientific-practical conferences and seminars, results of personal experience and observations. Results. Accounting as an information system, which is designed to make operational and strategic management decisions, needs to expand its functionality and increase its tasks. These categories have become one of the main ones in accounting, but also in management, as indispensable tools of managerial relations in business. Today, accounting is facing a scientific problem that needs theoretical and methodological justifications and practical solutions. It is necessary to expand the functionality of accounting in agrarian enterprises in order to meet management requests focused on achieving the strategic goal of the enterprise and maximize the value of business. The analysis of the evolution of information requests of the branch management and the priority of accounting functions in the development of agrarian business makes it possible to conclude that the priority task characterizes the process of information support for customers and consumers. According to the results of studying the classifications of functions, we have concluded that most often the scientists indicate the information function, the second most important is the control, and then the analytical and evaluation. Considering different approaches of scientists to classification of accounting functions and summarizing the results of the research, we concluded that the existing set of accounting functions does not allow to fully fulfill the tasks set before it. Therefore, in the current conditions of development of the global economy, the solution of this problem requires both theoretical and methodological justifications. That is why an important component of increasing the importance of accounting in the management of agrarian business is the expansion of its functionality, in particular by isolating new objectively formed functions. Given the priority of accounting functions in the development of agrarian business, they should be classified according to the information requests of the management system, as a result of which we propose to introduce a cost-oriented function and the function of saving capital and economic security of business. The capital saving function is a tool through which the formation of equity, regulation of property relations and business management, which provides a legal platform for completeness of payments with owners and guarantees the economic security of the enterprise. This function will facilitate the management of capital formation and its use. The value-oriented function is based on creating the market value of the business or providing the assets with the characteristics of the most valuable investments. It reflects the change in the value of the property of the enterprise from the point of view of transformation of its value in the external environment and allows to better understand the alternative advantages of investment sources. The proposed functions are aimed at identifying the degree of participation of owners in the management of the business entity, completeness of payments with them and determining the market value of agricultural businesses, increasing the investment attractiveness of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises. Discussion. Further scientific research in the direction of increasing the functionality of accounting in the management of agricultural business, it is advisable to carry out on the basis of domestic and foreign experience where the basis is the assertion that is built on the basis that accounting becomes the main function of management, which will facilitate the implementation of all functions of the management system. This will allow you to determine the place of accounting functions in achieving the goal of the management system, which will help in the formation of feedbacks between management and accounting. In-depth study of accounting functions will create the basis for improving the theoretical and methodological level of its development and will enhance functionality in the management system of agricultural business. Functional approach will allow to study the object of accounting not from the point of view of internal structure, set of interrelations of elements of its system, but on the other hand - interrelations with the external environment.

The article offers a classification of types of economic security and separately identifies foreign trade security as the most important element of the states economic security in the context of global escalation of trade contradictions in international trade. The essential characteristics of foreign trade security, characterized by permanent external influence, are revealed. Based on the identified features and characteristics, the definition of foreign trade security is given as a state of protection of exports and(or) imports from threats caused only by external influence, but not internal, in contrast to other types of economic security. It is shown that it is impossible to achieve the state of full provision of foreign trade security of the state in the conditions of participation in international economic relations. To resolve the contradiction between the goal of maximizing the effect of foreign trade activities and the simultaneous need to ensure security, we propose the formation of a scientifically-based system for ensuring foreign trade security and identify its main constituent elements.
