The publishing of the 300th issue of the INFO magazine coincided with the approval of the Passport of the National Digital Economy Program. One of the Program' task is the development of the promising Digital Educational and Methodological Complexes (DEMC) that should transform the informatics’ classes at the public school. This event is considered as a step to the digital transformation of the Russian school. Digital transformation is considered as harnessing digital technologies to increase the productivity and value of an enterprise. Digital transformation of education is considered as the controlled and/or spontaneous process of the transformation of the content, methods and organizational forms of educational activities, which is aimed at improving the quality of schools in a rapidly developing digital environment to meet the requirements of the digital economy. The development of Digital Educational and Methodological Complexes, smart simulation and training apps and virtual laboratories provided by the Passport of the National Digital Economy Program for the implementation of general secondary and vocational education programs for areas of “Mathematics”, “Informatics” and “Technology” is аn important step towards the digital transformation of education. The DEMC for informatics curriculum that will be created under the Digital Economy Program has to predetermine the formation of digital literacy of the younger generation in the next decade. The features of the promising DEMC for informatics, which the author would like to see in it, are discussed.

The Impact

Digital technologies, ubiquitous in our daily life, have radically changed the way we work, communicate, and consume in a short period of time. They affect all components of quality of life: well-being, work, health, education, social connections, environmental quality, the ability to participate and govern civil society, and so on. Digital transformation creates both opportunities and serious risks to the well-being of people. Researchers and statistical agencies around the world are facing a major challenge to develop new tools to analyze the impact of digital transformation on the well-being of the population. The risks are very diverse in nature and it is very difficult to identify the key factor. All researchers conclude that secure digital technologies significantly improve the lives of those who have the skills to use them and pose a serious risk of inequality for society, as they introduce a digital divide between those who have the skills to use them and those who do not. In the article, the author examines the risks created by digital technologies for some components of the quality of life (digital component of the quality of life), which are six main components: the digital quality of the population, providing the population with digital benefits, the labor market in the digital economy, the impact of digitalization on the social sphere, state electronic services for the population and the security of information activities. The study was carried out on the basis of the available statistical base and the results of research by scientists from different countries of the world. The risks of the digital economy cannot be ignored when pursuing state social policy. Attention is paid to government regulation aimed at reducing the negative consequences of digitalization through the prism of national, federal projects and other events.

Kaliningrad Region

Since 2019, the Kaliningrad Region has run a regional programme for digital transformation as part of the national initiative The Digital Economy of the Russian Federation. The programme seeks to improve the quality of life by creating information infrastructure and streamlining public administration. The regional Ministry of Digital Development has presented a report on programme implementation, which placed emphasis on economic performance. The study employed the questionnaire survey method to carry out a sociological analysis of the regional population as a participant in digital transformation. Quota sampling was used to select 384 respondents. Slightly over a half of the population had a positive attitude to digitalisation, and about 20 per cent believed that the digital economy led to the degradation of society. The development of a high-tech economy was named the main advantage of digitalisation and proliferation of digital surveillance, its distinct disadvantage. Kaliningraders reported heavy use of digital technology. Yet, the low indices of digital literacy and personal information protection raise concerns. The findings, which supplement the regional digitalisation report with sociological data, may help in planning and delivering activities within the regional digital transformation programme.

The implementation of the national project «Digital Economy» requires the focused efforts of all interested parties and makes special demands on regional management systems. This requires improving the practice of managing digital transformation processes in the regions in order to improve the quality of life of people and dynamic development. The article discusses the conditions for the formation and development of the digital economy in the Southern Federal District (SFD). It is noted that the digital economy provides great opportunities for development, increases the level of information openness and accessibility, reduces bureaucratic barriers, but on the other hand, digitalization processes are associated with inevitable difficulties, uncertainty and risks. It is established that in all subjects there are necessary program documents for digital transformation. The strategic documents adopted in the Southern Federal District are aimed at stimulating and developing digital technologies. The digital economy needs competent specialists, for this it is necessary to create conditions for training personnel, improve the education system, the labor market, create motivation systems for the development of the necessary competencies. In scientific studies, insufficient attention has been paid to the processes of the influence of digital changes on the innovative activity of regional actors. The article presents an analysis of various criteria that affect the possible development of the digital economy and the socio-economic development of the Southern Federal District. The analysis made it possible to identify prospects for the further development of the macroregion. The results of the study can be used in the development and adjustment of regional strategic programs for the development of digital society, as well as material for further theoretical and applied research in the development of digital processes in regional systems.

Current development and management of economic activity is largely associated with the implementation of the concept of the digital economy, which poses new challenges for business intelligence. The set of tasks is formed in order to develop business intelligence so that it matches the improved management of economic subjects, and to ensure the quality of business processes when digital technologies are introduced. Improved management based on the concept of the business environment implies that monitoring principles are used to analyze the behavior of external business environment participants with the purpose to build a rational partnership relationship. The digital economy creates information opportunities in this area, as it provides the access to Big Data and their processing using Big data analytics technologies. With regard to the requirements of management, the article analyzes the behavior of elements of the internal business environment to develop a management solution to improve the effectiveness of their behavior. The high quality of the solution is provided by the information model being a highly adequate image of a particular object under control and the ability of the control apparatus to fully realize the volume of its inherent functions. Under these conditions, the digital transformation of analytical processes is based on its own information platform, which should use breakthrough digital technologies. The research uses such methods as systemic analysis to generalize the modern concepts of economic system management, development of digital technologies and their introduction into management decision-making processes.

The purpose of Audit Oversight Board (AOB) is to oversee the external auditors who audit the listed companies. Its establishment is expected to improve the quality of the audited financial statements and to increase the confidence of the public on the quality of the services provided by the auditors. This study explores how the establishment of audit oversight board affects the auditors in Malaysia. As the study is exploratory in nature with limited studies being carried out on AOB, face-to-face interviews were conducted with the external auditors. The findings show that the establishment of AOB affects the job of external auditors, especially on the documentation and training costs, which vary across audit firms of different sizes. There are opinions that the increased pressure on the external auditors is not solely due to the establishment of AOB, but it is also due to the revised accounting standards and other regulations. The study also finds that the external auditors’ reliance on the internal auditors is not affected by the establishment of AOB. In addition, regardless of whether the internal audit department is in-house or outsourced, it will not affect the reliance of external auditors on the internal auditors work.

Aim. The presented study aims to determine the peculiarities of introducing digital tools in public administration using different types of competencies.Tasks. The author describes major prerequisites for the transformation of the public sector in the context of digitalization; analyzes modern digital technologies and the mechanism of their implementation in public services using digital platforms, assesses their role, and identifies obstacles to the digital transformation of public administration.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods, such as the monographic method, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, description, and applied methods of structural, systems, and comparative economic analysis.Results. Digital transformation of the public administration system changes the understanding of management from management as execution of functions to management as a network of  relationships between the state and its citizens. Reformation of the public administration model based on the implementation of digital solutions forms the new public administration concept. However, the results of the public administration system’s reformation using digital platforms are ambiguous and require study. One of the main obstacles to the formation of a “digital government” is the lack of competent specialists and qualified personnel skilled in the field of  information technology (IT), Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, etc. These and other technologies are vital for the formation of a high-quality public administration system. Furthermore, the new information reality places increased demands on the skills of modern public officials, whose level of competence largely determines the quality of management. This study identifies and analyzes the necessary competencies of employees involved in the public administration system at different levels.Conclusions. Over time, digital transformation of public administration will become more evident and meaningful. It can be assumed that digitalization will make it possible to leave behind subjective decisions of individual public officials, improving the quality of provided services and reducing costs as much as possible. Digital transformation of public administration is not limited to the automation and optimization of some processes in the execution of public functions, as it also involves the implementation of modern information and communication technology (ICT) systems to improve the quality of the public administration system as a whole.
