The article reveals the peculiarities of accounting in public associations, taking into account the specifics of their operation, in partic-ular in the aspect of standard correspondence of accounts of the main operations of public associations with the status of a legal entity. Emphasis is placed on the use of targeted funding accounts, as well as revenues and expenditures of public associations. The peculiar-ities of the activity of public organizations and public unions as separate organizational and legal forms of public associations are given, taking into account the legal status of their founders and participants. It is established that the main differences of public associations that affect their accounting are: non-profit status – the lack of accounting for the concepts of “profit” and “loss”; non-entrepreneurial activity as a priority – focus on the satisfaction of public interests; voluntary participation – features of accrual and payment of entrance and annual membership fees; lack of property interest from the participants – the passive nature of the account of settlements with creditors; possi-bility of cooperation with international governmental and non-governmental organizations – conducting currency accounting; possibility of formation of separate subdivisions (acquisition of all-Ukrainian status) – keeping records of current internal settlements; the right to financial support from budgets of different levels – the formation of reports on the targeted use of budget funds; the target nature of the disposal of funds and other property – separate accounting of property by sources of income and areas of use; active interaction with public authorities and local governments – the possibility of funding through the Treasury; moderate external control over the activity – evidence of the legitimacy of the transactions. A combined version of the structure of sub-accounts of targeted funding and targeted rev-enues of public associations is proposed, which provides for the opening of analytical accounts of the second and third orders in terms of individual projects and budget items. Typical operations for public associations that determine the specifics of their accounting are: accrual and payment of membership fees, receipt of property from various sources, settlement with contractors in the implementation of individual projects, calculation of exchange rates, recognition of income and expenses.Keywords: accounting, public association, public organization, public union, targeted funding.

Taking into account global trend that fight against crime and crime prevention can be successful only if we consolidate public authority’ and society’ efforts all together, the need of study of non-governmental organizations involvement in process of combating crime is necessary. Recent developments of civil society in Ukraine shows us the rise of role of non-governmental organizations in state affairs, and sphere of combating of crime is not an exception. At the same time, the term “non-governmental organizations” seems to be quite new for Ukraine’ criminological science, as well as for legal science of Ukraine in a whole. That is why the study of legal nature of non-governmental organizations give us the chance to conduct deeper research about their impact into decision-making proses and formation of different kinds of state policies, including policy in the field of combating crime in Ukraine. Therefore, the article is devoted to highlighting the characteristic features of nongovernmental organizations. Seems reasonable to start conduct such a research via study based on a logical and meaningful analysis of the regulatory documents of the Council of Europe. Where features of the concept of “non-governmental organization” are disclosed. Later on the right disclosure of features of non-governmental organizations, makes it possible to distinguish them from other similar legal forms (civil society organization, non-profit organization, voluntary citizens’ group etc.). Taking into account the global trends and the development of criminological science, the importance of further research on non-governmental organizations in the field of counter of crime is noted. A vital part in further research belongs to formation of a separate definition of “non-governmental organization” in the theory of Ukrainian’ legal science.

The article examines the constitutional practice of normative regulation of the right to appeal to public authorities and local governments, enshrined in Art. 40 of the Constitution of Ukraine and in similar norms of the constitutions of European states. The necessity of stating the specified norm in the new edition is substantiated. The right to appeal to public authorities and local governments, their officials and officials occupies a special place in the human rights system and is one of the most important organizational and legal forms of public participation in the socio-political life of the country and providing citizens of Ukraine with opportunities to defend their rights. legitimate interests, restoring them in case of violation. The study of the essence of this right gives grounds to state that the appeal by its nature has a dual meaning: first, it is one of the means of protecting human rights and legitimate interests violated by the actions or inaction of public authorities and local governments; secondly, the appeal is a signal of shortcomings in the work of public authorities and local governments. From the content of Art. 40 of the Constitution of Ukraine, it follows that both citizens of Ukraine and persons who are not citizens of Ukraine, but are legally on the territory of Ukraine, and who are marked in the text by the term "all" have constitutional legal personality. By the way, the term "all" is used only in Art. 40 of the Constitution of Ukraine, and therefore it is not clear whether it belongs to the category of subjects of "all people", as enshrined in Art. 21, or to the category of subjects of "all citizens". At the same time, in similar norms of the constitutions of European states, various impersonal terms are used to denote the subject of this right - "everyone", "citizens", "every citizen", "all citizens" and "every person". In connection with the above and in order to unify legal terminology, we believe that in Art. 40 of the Constitution of Ukraine, it would be more appropriate to use, instead of the term «all», the term «eve-ryone», which, in our opinion, covers all categories of subjects of the right to appeal regardless of their legal status and is more in line with European experience in constitutional regulation of the studied law. It should be emphasized that the necessary guarantee of realization of the investigated right is the duty of obligated subjects, ie public authorities, local governments and their officials and officials, to timely and objectively consider the appeal and provide a reasoned response to the merits of the appeal. the term established by the law. A similar provision is enshrined in the constitutions of Azerbaijan, Albania, Belarus, Armenia, Greece, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Poland, Serbia, Turkey, Croatia, and Montenegro. In this regard, we propose a phrase that is enshrined in Art. 40 of the Constitution of Ukraine: "are obliged to consider the appeal and give a reasoned response within the period prescribed by law" to state in an updated version. In addition, we believe that this article should specify the obligation of these bodies and their officials and officials to take the necessary measures to exercise this right, which will give the subjects of appeal grounds to appeal, including in court , actions or inaction of officials and officials of state bodies and local governments. Therefore, in view of the above and taking into account the European experience in regulating the constitutional right to appeal, we propose Art. 40 of the Constitution of Ukraine to state in new edition: "Everyone has the right to submit individual or collective appeals or to personally address state authorities, local governments and their officials and officials, who are obliged to take the necessary measures and provide a reasoned written response within the period prescribed by law."

The Police as the largest uniformed law enforcement agency in Poland (more than 100,000 functionaries) with strictly hierarchical command structure is capable of entering into cooperation with external entities including non-governmental organizations. NGOs are all entities which are not public administration organs or units and which operate on a non-profit basis. A characteristic feature of an NGO is the lack of links to the public authorities. In Poland the status of NGOs is regulated by the Public Benefit and Volunteer Work Act of 2003 which introduced an extended definition of non-governmental organizations as entities engaged in public interest and charitable activities (ngo.pl, 2018). The paper presents the subject matter related to the cooperation of the Polish Police with non-governmental organizations with respect to their statutory tasks, determines the place of NGOs in the security system and draws conclusions and recommendations regarding the cooperation.

In modern Russia, the criminalization of the economy has become one of the most acute problems, a nationwide negative factor that undermines the authority of the authorities, destroys the foundations of statehood, and, as a result, creates a threat to the country's economic security. These circumstances dictate the need to quickly make optimal decisions that can protect the national economy from the negative effects of an illegal and criminal economy, as well as corruption as the basis of the shadow economy of Russia. Today we can say that the economic foundations of corruption, organized crime and terrorism are a kind of an independent sector of the economy. Corruption is beginning to seriously affect the decline in economic growth, the decline in the potential of civil society institutions, the violation of human rights, and other negative effects on the legal system. To achieve the goals, criminal structures use all means at their disposal: influence through government bodies and at the diplomatic level, special services, organized criminal communities, terrorist organizations, banking structures, non-profit and non-governmental organizations, subjects of criminal and shadow economy, etc. Analysis of market relations, the Russian economy gives the right to understand that the national economy in the position in which it is located cannot get out of the state of criminalization without reviewing and forming new relationship mechanisms.
