One of the most important tasks of management accounting is to provide quality and efficient accounting information to users. The effectiveness of management accounting is manifested through the implementation of its functions, so it is relevant and urgent to consider them. The aim of the article is to study the composition, number and content of the functions of management accounting. The research methodology was based on general scientific methods of cognition like historical, logical, systemic methods, induction, deduction, analysis, as well as the methods of classification and grouping. According to the results of the research, it is found that currently there is no unified, generally accepted approach to the composition and number of the functions of management accounting (on average, there are distinguished five functions). Almost all researchers indicate information and control functions; analytical, predictive and communication functions are also present in most of the authors' papers analyzed. In some works, there are not quite appropriate combinations of two separate functions in one, and also there are similar titles of one and the same function of management accounting. There is a separation of rather narrow, specific functions, which are inherent only in certain management processes. We have summarized 32 different functions of management accounting, analyzed their number and composition, covered more than 50 authorial meanings for each of them. It has been found that researchers determine the different composition and essence of the functions depending on the direction of the study, its object and the specifics of the industry. It is quite logical that most of the various interpretations are given to the content of the information function of management accounting. According to the Conceptual Framework for Management Accounting developed by the International Federation of Accountants, the following functions have only one definition: analytical (evaluation), control and analytical, scientific and cognitive, new scientific and cognitive, motivation, organization, organizational and communication, planning and control, prognostic, reputational and the functions of management accounting. Prospects for further research are to consider the relationship between the functions of management accounting and management functions and to establish the quality and features of the manifestation of the functions of management accounting under the influence of industry characteristics of enterprises.

Introduction The amount of capital that individual, corporate and institutional investors are willing to invest in certain assets is increasing every year. This leads to a revitalization of entrepreneurial activity and growth of the economy as a whole. It is also very active in creating certain disparities in the distribution of investment flows at the cross-sectoral level. There are industries that perceive investors more positively, and other industries perceive less positively. Among these industries, and even more types of businesses, are diversified companies or conglomerates that are perceived by investors as a chaotic set of assets that management is unable to manage effectively. Purpose The purpose of this article is to study the global trends in managing strategies for competitive advantage in the capital market by diversified enterprises. The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical aspects of management and planning the choice of growth strategy for diversified enterprises; to analyze the systems of strategic management of investment marketing for diversified companies; develop solutions to improve the marketing management system for various companies in the context of attracting investment. Method (methodology) In the course of the research, the following general scientific methods are used: analysis and synthesis, grouping and systematization of revealing the essence of investment marketing, its structure, principles of its formation, development of the concept of diagnostics of efficiency of investor attraction systems and control of this process; induction and deduction - to summarize the theoretical aspects of the peculiarities of the formation of the structure of investment marketing; statistical and economic - to evaluate the investment attractiveness of a diversified enterprise. Results It was suggested to the conglomerate companies to distance their company brand from its subsidiaries as much as possible so that there was no problem in identifying the main focus of the conglomerate's business activity. For the analysis of companies that should be considered for placement of their own and borrowed funds by conglomerates and to demonstrate this investment policy, investors can distinguish the following areas of analysis of potential companies: whether the leadership of a company in a particular segment can lead to the possibility of controlling the pricing of goods or / or company services; whether it is possible to create a competitive business through the attraction of additional investment opportunities. Thus, solving the problem of finances, and more precisely the ability to run a business for a certain time, can bring to positive indicators of profit and return on invested capital; the impact on the aggregate industry reserve of profits, which makes it possible to receive more profit from the industry of related fields from consumers than competitors can, thus ensuring long-term competitiveness. Also regarding the display of client base of goods and services that we can distinguish for investors is: demonstrating the presence of privileged clients; the existence of diversified profit strategies; availability of special copy - protected goods and business models; the presence of unique and difficult to copy distribution and communication channels; the presence of barriers to competitors (patents. Brand, licensing, large investments in market entry, etc.).

This study empirically examined and identified specific types of management accounting information as well as conditions of learning facilitators for effective organizational learning under high levels of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT). In this study, the interaction and communication among functions as well as job rotation and experience were considered as the facilitators of organizational learning. This research investigated the relationship between the level of AMT and the amount of management accounting information (i.e. planning and control information and nonfinancial performance information). The empirical results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between the AMT level and the amount of information produced by management accounting information systems (MAISs). Significant positive correlations among the amount of information, degree of organizational learning, and production performance were also observed. Using structural equation modeling, this study examined causal relationships among AMT level, amount of information, learning facilitators, organizational learning, and production performance. The results of the study showed that under a high level of AMT, to give rise to a high degree of learning and, consequently, an increase of performance through the provision of information, facilitators of learning must be well-coordinated (i.e. highly utilized), and MAISs must produce a large amount of management accounting information (i.e. planning and control information and nonfinancial performance information).

The paper uses the phenomenon of isomorphism to present the similarities and differences in the use of management accounting information by managers in Poland and Romania. In order to analyze the set of data obtained from the conducted survey, cluster analysis and descriptive statistics have been applied. The studied managers use mainly management accounting information for planning and control tasks (budgeting) and less for formulating strategy and decision making. In their work, they rather apply financial data than nonfinancial indicators. The findings confirm that management accounting in both countries is strongly influenced by the mechanisms of coercive, normative and mimetic isomorphism connected with their specific economic and political development.

The topic of the article is very relevant, first of all, due to the fact that today the development of the information and telecommunication services market involves almost all areas of people’s life in the field of e-commerce. Until April 2020, it was not possible to purchase a medicinal product online on the territory of the Russian Federation due to the lack of a regulatory legal framework regulating such a mechanism. However, at the moment, the relevant legislation has entered into force, regulating in detail the sale of medicines in a remote format. Taking into account the presented circumstances, it seems to us that the issue of studying new legislative acts in the field of remote sale of medicines on the territory of the Russian Federation is largely being updated. The subject of the article is the mechanism of legal regulation of remote sale of medicines in Russia. The purpose of the study is to identify the problems of legal regulation of the process of remote sale of medicines in the Russian Federation at the present stage. This research is based on a combination of groups of classical general scientific methods (induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis) and a number of special methods of scientific cognition applied directly within the framework of legal science (formal legal, comparative legal and others). Within the framework of the presented article, the authors carried out a conceptual analysis of the features of the legal regulation of the sale of medicines using remote technologies, taking into account the latest changes in legislation. The specifics of remote trade in prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as the peculiarities of labeling of medicines on the territory of the Russian Federation, are analyzed. As a result of a comprehensive study of current trends in regulatory regulation and justification of possible methods for improving the systems for issuing electronic prescriptions, as well as mandatory labeling of medicines, a conclusion is made about the possibility of further development of remote trade in medicines in the Russian Federation.

Subject. The article discusses the role of the controlling function of governance as part of the evaluation of State-financed institutions' performance. Objectives. The study substantiates institutional aspects of the concept Control with reference to State-financed institutions and the specifics of their finance. I also carry out the theoretical examination of the need in controlling their performance. Methods. The study involves general scientific methods. Drawing on the systems approach and logical generalization, I sorted prevailing views on the analyzable categories. The abstraction was applied to summarize the main conclusions. Results. Scholars still interpret financial control differently. Furthermore, regulatory documents, which are adopted by both the legislature and the government, are not consistent with the existing views on financial control. Some interim types of financial control may possibly be something else, which shall be further studied. In my opinion, any activities associated with financial flows shall be qualified as financial. Therefore, the respective control is financial. governmental budgetary control is subdivided into control over budgetary and extrabudgetary finance due the specifics of budgetary institutions' finance. As the performance of State-financed institutions is evaluated in terms of the efficiency of budgetary spending on governmental functions, control should pursue the evaluation of State-financed institutions' performance by source of finance. Conclusions and Relevance. Governmental financial control includes several interim types, including budgetary and extrabudgetary activities. The performance of State-financed institutions shall be monitored by the two aspects so as to evaluate whether budgetary funds are efficiently spent on governmental functions. The findings are designated for unfolding theoretical views on the control over State-financed institutions' performance as a crucial tool for administration. The findings can be used for scientific and practical purposes in accounting and control.

A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a complex manufacturing system and it demands a robust control software for its scheduling, planning and control functions. This paper describes the development of an agent‐based infrastructure for the control of a cellular FMS. The FMS in this project is a flexible assembly cell (FAC), comprising two assembly robots and a conveyor system. The aim is to establish a multi‐agent control system with good expandability and to be able to cope with dynamic changes in the FAC. The proposed agent‐based FAC control system comprises a collection of agents implemented in a distributed control network. The approach of the agent design is based on the object‐oriented modelling technique. According to the proposed control architecture, a standard agent template has been designed for the establishment of individual agents in the agent‐based system.
