On the eve of the entry into force for the mandatory application of all enterprises and organizations of the Russian Federation of the Federal Accounting Standard 25/2018 “Lease Accounting”, approved. By order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated October 16, 2018 No. 208n, from January 1, 2022, many heads of economic structures, including healthcare organizations, and their accountants, who act as tenants in lease agreements, are concerned about avoiding the complicated accounting of leased objects which is prescribed by this standard. Accounting methodologists, consultants, experts, and others try to use literally every clause, subclause, paragraph, every word and every comma in order to justify that their lease relationship is not covered by this accounting standard.

Organizations themselves can determine such limits for their organizations, above which they will consider objects as fixed assets, and below which they will write off to expenses of the current period. The regulator also granted the reporting entities the right to switch to the new accounting procedure voluntarily from January 1, 2021, or, already on a mandatory basis, from January 1, 2022. The article examines, using an example, a retrospective and prospective transition to new individual limits for fixed assets from January 1, 2021.

The development of the subjects of the Russian Federation is not possible without financial resources. Altai Territory is traditionally a highly subsidized region. Currently, it is ranked 4th in terms of federal subsidies. Now, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation orients the subjects of the federation towards increasing the independence and efficiency of functioning. The Central Bank of Russia is intensifying its bond issues and sees in this direction an effective way of replacing credit resources and bill circulation in the coming years. Currently, there are no comprehensive methods for generating informed decisions on the issue of sub-federal bonds. The purpose of this study is to formulate a method for making an informed decision on the issue of sub-federal bonds, based on an assessment of their potential. To achieve this purpose, the methods of economic and system analysis, synthesis, synthesis, empirical methods, methods of abstraction and analogies were used.

The strategy of economic security of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 defines various directions of ensuring economic security, one of which is to improve the activities of control bodies, including the Federal Treasury, which, in turn, is carried out through the application of various measures, in particular, information, which includes the creation and organization of information systems aimed at automating control activities. The presented research is devoted directly to the analysis of the legal regulation of these information systems. The article discusses the legal foundations of the organization and functioning of information systems specified in the Letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation No. 02-10-07/74315, namely the GIS of public Finance management “Electronic Budget”, GIS “Official website of the Russian Federation in the information and telecommunications network “Internet” for posting information on the implementation of state (municipal) financial audit (control) in the field of budgetary legal relations” and GIS “Unified Information System in the field of procurement”. In addition, a study of the legal regulation of systems not mentioned by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation among those contributing to the conduct of state financial control is presented — an automated system for planning control and supervisory activities of the Federal Service for Financial and Budgetary Supervision in executable modules and GIS “Standard cloud solution for automation of control (supervisory) activities”.
