Introduction. Post-industrial society is characterized by new requirements for economic information provided by the accounting system. The transformation of the understanding of the essence of economic information in modern conditions is associated with a number of important factors. Therefore, the study of these factors, as well as the corresponding changes in the characteristics and perception of economic information is an important area of research.Objective. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the approaches to the interpretation of information as a process of programmatic generation of reality in terms of information modelling of economic and social phenomena.Methods. The following approaches are used for this purpose: entropic, algorithmic, combinatorial, which provide quantitative determination of the complexity of the displayed object, process or phenomenon; syntactic, which indicates the internal features of the processes that are displayed, their structure, organization, complexity, etc; semantic, which allows us to describe the content and novelty of information for the user; pragmatic, which allows us to assess the usefulness of the received message. Results. The concept of “information” has been researched as a basic element of accounting science in post-industrial society, which involves understanding the role of thought processes in cognition of economic reality and the creation of information matrices to form models of behaviour of objects / subjects of economic activity. It was determined that information is interconnected with human, consciousness, thinking and perception of reality through the prism of economics, and economic interpretation of information involves understanding the categories of value of information, such as resources, goods, objects of labour and more. Accounting information is considered as a reflection of the content   of relations that arise in the process of economic agent and its adaptation to the external environment, regardless of the form of presentation of this information. Emphasis is placed on the philosophical interpretation of information as a process of programmatic generation of reality in terms of information modelling of economic and social phenomena. We have proved that the main value of accounting information is its usefulness for a particular management decision, and the use of accounting information, taking into account its value for management is limited by up perception and reflection of users of this information. Discussion. A promising area of further research is the identification of opportunities for the formation of different types of information for interested users and the development of appropriate methods for processing credentials to implement in practice the task of maximizing the satisfaction of their information requests.

The purpose of the paper is the aggregation of theoretical, organizational, and methodological concepts of the information economy from the position of its impact on accounting system at processing plants to prove the directions of improvement of its components according to the requirements of modern management. Methodology. The research of the concept of “information” gave the possibility to define the absence of scientific view on this issue. We suggest that talking about information we should understand the processed data including the system of accounting, which reduce the uncertainty of users. Information for management has not yet been evaluated and not investigated the impact of information costs on the efficiency of making decisions. However, the calculation of costs for information services, which are also provided by the accounting system, is an important factor given the ability to optimize the preparation of information. To characterize the current stage of the development of the economy, the next concepts as “information economy”, “economy of knowledge”, “Internet-economy”, “post-industrial economy” and “innovation economy” have been compared. The investigation gave the possibility to define that information and post-industrial economy are synonyms – the concept “post-industrial economy” characterizes the same stage of the development but from the retrospective point of view. Such concepts as “knowledge economy”, “Internet economy”, and “innovation economy” are components of the information economy, which form its characteristic features. Nowadays, information plays an important role for a manager and influences the activity of an enterprise. The experience of successful companies shows that their achievements depend on the well-organized information system. Practical implications. Thus, the considerable part of information (78.5%) provided for managers belongs to business accounting that intensifies its role at an enterprise in the information economy. Value/originality. It could not be overestimated the meaning of full and true information about the financial state and the results of the activity of an enterprise to solve current and prospective financial and economic problems.

The article examines the topic of determinants affecting the features of the practical implementation of ideas in the context of a digital society. The features of the digital model of society as a version of the post-industrial society are presented. The urgency of rethinking the problem as a determinant of social development has been substantiated. The essential features of the main trends of the digital society are analyzed and identified, which include the traditional interpretation of the inevitably distorted embodiment of ideas in social phenomena. Demonstrated are the changes represented by the identity of individuals and brought to the coalescence and the virtual level of being. The inevitability of taking into account the systemic effect of implemented ideas, which affects not only the sphere of their direct implementation, is noted. Theatricalization of digital society in the spheres of public life is highlighted. The problem of simulacra is actualized, allowing powerful actors to distort the original meaning of ideas in their own interests. The emphasis is made on the importance of linguistic analysis for adequate perception and understanding of the content of ideas. In conclusion, generalizations that form the theoretical and methodological basis of practical applications in the society of the digital world.

This article explores the problem of utopian universals applicable to the concept of “information society”. The author interprets utopian universals as most general representations on the best social structure that became widespread within a particular epistemological tradition. The subject of this research is the determination and evolution of the universal social attributes characteristic to projects of best social structure within the epistemological tradition of scientific rationality developed throughout the XVI – XXI centuries. From T. Mohr's "Utopia" to D. Bell's "post-industrial Society" and M. Castells '"Information Age", the author traces the universal features of social attribution. The researcher comes to the conclusion that projects of an optimal or ideal social structure, changing their concrete form of expression, retain a utopian character throughout the entire line of development of the epistemological tradition of scientific rationality. Utopian universals of aggregation and codification of theoretical knowledge, transformation of science into the major driving force of political and economic development, transition of power to the wisemen-philosophers, collective maximally egalitarian and democratic participation in decision-making is the attributes that to greater or lesser degree are inherent to the utopias of Western civilization, beginning with the work of T. More. These same attributes retain in the concept of information society, which allows raising the question of the need for critical revision as a theoretical scientific concept and practical political project of the information society.

A project for the long-term strategy of Russian break-through into post-industrial society is suggested which is directed at transformation of the hi-tech complex into the leading factor of economic development. The thesis is substantiated that there is an opportunity to realize such a strategy in case Russia shifts towards the mechanism of the monetary base growth generally accepted in developed countries: the Central Bank increases the quantity of "strong" money by means of purchasing state securities and allocates the increment of money in question according to budget priorities. At the same time for the realization of the said strategy it is necessary to partially restore savings lost during the hyperinflation period of 1992-1994 and default of 1998 and to secure development of the bank system as well as an increase of the volume of long-term credits on this base.

This study investigates management's use of decision aids within the context of an accounting information system of a late 19th century American printing firm. Our findings suggest that the use of decision aids by management transformed traditional accounting techniques and the cost accounting system into an intricate accounting information system by 1880. These decision aids allowed managers to manipulate accounting information to support decisions involving pricing, cost allocation and estimation, profitability assessment, management of receivables, and inventory control. The findings shed new light on the early work of Alexander Hamilton Church on the issue of idle time accounting and raises questions about the uniform costing movement in the American printing industry.
