The critical analysis of existing regulations on accounting of the fixed assets reveals substantial drawbacks related to accounting of fixed assets at the end of the normative useful life if these assets are still used in production; costs of fixed assets modernization and costs of their major repair. The author makes certain proposals on the amendment of existing rules of fixed assets accounting in order to make the reporting of the economic processes in this area more realistic and transparent. These proposals should be considered in the first run by the specialists in accounting methodology when developing a new standard.

According to the accounting and management accounting, personnel costs are the second largest in terms of volume after material resources in the cost of goods and services. In this connection, the analysis of personnel costs and the adoption of well-founded managerial decisions for effective planning and development remain the priority for companies. The presence of only an accounting (statistical) approach to cost management does not allow you to determine the entire set of hidden costs associated with personnel management. The article compares the accounting and management approaches to the accounting and analysis of personnel costs, provides a management classification of costs for targeted and functional purposes, on the basis of which general and private HR-budgets are formed, followed by an assessment of the effectiveness of using planned costs. The lack of an administrative approach to the accounting of personnel costs in the organization leads to their substantial underestimation, to their impersonal consideration in the composition of the organization’s total expenses, which ultimately reduces the profit indicators and deforms the strategic attitudes of the organization

The data of calculating the actual cost of production are widely used in production management at industrial enterprises, to monitor compliance with the standard cost of production adopted by the enterprise, to identify ways to optimize labor costs and material resources. The level of cost depends on the activity of an industrial enterprise in a market economy: the amount of profitability, the economic efficiency of its activities. The choice of the method of cost accounting and calculating the cost of production depends on the specifics of the technology and organization of production, as well as the requirements of the efficiency of enterprise management. Studying the formation of accounting information when calculating the cost of production by type of product, comparing the level of costs with the revenue received makes it possible to determine the economic efficiency of production. The purpose of this study is to identify the problems of forming accounting information when calculating the cost of production for making decisions to reduce costs. The implementation of the research goal is facilitated by the use of methods of comparative analysis, synthesis, and graphical method for visualizing the results obtained. When considering the cost calculation, attention is paid to the fact that in market conditions there is a need for detailed cost accounting and calculation of the cost of production. If we take into account that in market conditions, prices for products are formed as demand increases, and demand is influenced by external factors, then we can only influence the costs based on the cost calculation. The basis for making effective management decisions will depend on how reliable and to what extent the accounting information is formed. Costs are the main constraint on the profit of industrial enterprises, since the main strategic goal of any enterprise is the mechanism for increasing profits. The ability to achieve this goal is limited by the following internal factors: the complexity of the cost grouping, technological processes, and the impact on product quality. It is necessary to improve the information system, which is based on the data of primary documents, document flow and the order of cost grouping. The proposed measures will contribute to strengthening the control function of the management and, as a result, effective cost management.

This work presents a study on the cost formation process of a third-party service provider from the Federal Public Administration to draw a parallel with the strategic cost management using the absorption and variable costing methods. As a methodology, a qualitative-quantitative research strategy, of an applied nature, was used, through a case study in a company that provides cleaning, conservation, and sanitation services. Data on 13 types of inputs (the highest values) were analyzed over six months. The values were highlighted referring to the input data of the Bidding Notice that led to the contracting of the service provider company, the inputs consumed by the client, and the inputs purchased by the company. The results of the study indicate that the company bought twice as much (119%) than the amount foreseen in the notice on the analyzed period. Using the precepts of Strategic Cost Management, in parallel with the absorption and variable costing methods, it can be observed that in terms of making managerial decisions, the second (variable costing) forwards more critical information to the manager than the first ( absorption costing), resulting from the concern of complying with Brazilian tax legislation, without considering the inherent tax costs (not only) in the operational structure of the type of service object in this study.

During the preparation of the article, the following scientific methods were used: literature analysis, determination and evaluation of the current situation, grouping method, comparison method, graphical method, analytical and statistical analysis methods, logical analysis. The article analyzes the change of the area of natural (natural, subnatural) landscape components (natural forests, wetlands, water bodies) during the period between the years 2004 and 2019. The analysis showed that the two components of the natural landscape of the Republic of Lithuania during 2004–2019 increased: the forest area (132,849.03 ha or 6.15%) and water bodies (3,668.49 ha or 1.38%). Unfortunately, the area of wetlands has decreased by 50,990.20 ha (35.05%). During the analyzed period, the natural landscape of Lithuania increased by 85527.97 ha or 3.39%. At present, it is particularly important to care for and restore valuable landscape complexes to fulfill their ecosystem functions. One of the most important challenges is to reconcile urbanization and nature conservation so as not to reduce significant areas of the country’s natural landscape.

This study addresses the nature of accounting innovations within the context of the Quincy Mining Company's response to the disruption of the domestic copper market following the Civil War. Primary documentation is used to first define the firm's cost management activities, then to define the characteristics of the firm's internal accounting practices that contributed to these activities. It is argued that, although accounting was a participant in the cost control process, it was a paternalistic social structure that provided the impetus for the firm's struggle to remain profitable.

The article improves the cost management system of construction enterprise. It is specified that the process of managing costs at a construction enterprise depends on the efficiency of the existing general system of the organization management and the level of use of certain methods and instruments by which effective managerial decisions are made to ensure financial stability. A definition of a system of cost management of construction enterprise is provided, whereby the system of economic interests and management methods of directed influence on the interests of the economic entity in order to coordinate them with different groups of stakeholders to comply with the relevant proportions in the formation of costs is meant. It is noted that today, in the face of stiff competition in the construction industry of Ukraine and negative trends in the country’s economy related to the COVID-19 pandemic, solution to the issues of improving the cost management system should be based on the concept of strategic management, management in terms of special purpose self-cost, target-costing and kaizen-costing as means of achieving the specified construction enterprise costs. It is concluded that the improvement of the cost management system of construction enterprise is possible on the basis of making effective managerial decisions based on the use of scientifically based approaches to analyzing the cost structure, planning the level of costs, planning profits taking into account the amount of expenses made, along with implementation of an effective system of motivation of employees to control and reduce costs, etc. The proposed cost management system of construction enterprise will allow to organize and purposefully implement a policy of comprehensive reduction of the self-cost of construction products, rationally invest in modern construction projects, and implement the set strategic goals.

The article is devoted to the development of the concept of the state to manage its tax risks, based on a systematic approach. The author's concept presupposes the presence of the following elements logically arranged according to the principle "from the general to the particular": 1) mechanisms for managing tax risks, 2) disclosing methodological recommendations, 3) specific proposals for changing legislation. To achieve this goal, the author used general scientific methods (deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis, observation, description, generalization) and private scientific methods of cognition (comparison method, graphical and tabular data presentation methods). We have presented a brief overview of the main tax risks of the Russian Federation in the current economic environment, which are classified in four areas: 1) risks in the field of value added taxation; 2) risks in the field of taxation of profits and income; 3) risks, the source of which is Russia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union; 4) customs risks. The author presents a general scheme of tax risk management by the state, which includes the context, goals and management strategy. The priority mechanisms for managing the tax risks of the state are formulated on the basis of the presented classification of tax risks. These areas include: introduction of an end-to-end product traceability system; substantiation of taxation methods; joint elimination of tax risks (Federal Tax Service, Federal Customs Service, Ministry of Labor, Federal Service for Financial Monitoring); optimization of tax administration costs on the part of both tax authorities and taxpayers; harmonization of indirect taxation, including duty-free trade; harmonization of international tax rules at the international level; selection of the most effective tools for eliminating multiple taxation. A draft "road map" has been developed to improve the management of state tax risks.
