Abstract. The article describes the approaches to defining the essence of understanding «public finance» and «public finance management» in the context of administrative and financial decentralization. A study on the current state of economic development of Ukraine is carried and the public financial management system is analyzed. The dynamics of the ratio of revenues and expenditures of the State and local budgets is shown and the national and subnational levels in the financing of public expenditures are described. The sequence of achieving a new level of welfare of the population is presented and the ways of state influence on local economic development are outlined. The content of the state’s activity on financial resources management and public importance of finances is given. Particular attention is paid to the financial capacity of UTC and the existing positive developments within the decentralization reform in Ukraine. The need to improve the management of public finances was emphasized, as it was evidenced by the size of the budget deficit. The division of budget expenditures by functional classification between the national and subnational levels is presented and the decline of financial independence of subnational budgets is witnessed. An assessment of the level of confidence in financial asset management services of territorial communities based on the calculation of the relevant index is made, and the relationship between the selected indicators (the monetary expenditures of the population; deposits of individuals in investment funds; population savings; volume of capital investments; volume of investments in Ukraine; assets of investment funds) and the level of public confidence in the management of UTC financial assets is researched.  Keywords: financial management, public finance, financial capacity of territorial communities, financial assets.

This chapter analyses the fiscal problems of Dutch local government in the 1980s and the way that municipalities handled the fiscal squeeze of that time. It first explores the causes of the 1980s fiscal squeeze, that is, the decrease in municipal revenues (particularly in block-grant funding from central government through the ‘Municipal Fund’) and increase in expenditures, partly as a result of recession. It then describes the local government responses to the fiscal squeeze, that is, what cutback measures were taken and what strategies were employed, and explores the linked reform of the financial management system and adoption of ‘divisionalised business model’ structures. Thirdly, empirical evidence about the causes and effects of Dutch local public management reform is considered. Finally, the chapter discusses the longer-term effects that went beyond management reform, that is, developments in local democracy in the 1990s.

Efficiency And Effectiveness

In this paper an evaluation of the housing management performance indicators regime in the United Kingdom is provided. First, the context in which performance measurement in the housing service in the United Kingdom has developed is set and lessons are drawn from the use of statutory indicators following the Local Government and Housing Act 1989. By examining the performance indicator regime in Wales it is suggested that the regime is flawed because it provides information which points towards the economic efficiency of service provision rather than explaining the effectiveness of services. This is compounded by the multiple audience that the performance indicator regime is targeted at: tenants, local government, and central government. The conflict arising from the multiple target groups results in the regime being unable to serve properly its primary audience, that is, tenants. To conclude the paper, some alternatives are suggested, and the need for performance indicators to be seen as tools for evaluating the relative efficiency and effectiveness of local authority housing management over time is highlighted.

The subject of the research is the local self-government, with a good reason, as it has much more contact with the daily life of citizens than the central government and it is mainly directly responsible for the state of healthcare, building maintenance, education, cleanliness and the environment, as well as for ensuring the functioning of basic systems, such as water and sewage. The third chapter is devoted to good public finance management. It is extremely important to recall the fact that the budget must integrate with other areas of financial operations, even if that business is carried out by a state body, regardless of the Treasury or the Ministry of Finance. The public sector debt has become a "deceptive factor" that achieves budget stability. Internal control measures should be introduced into each organization and incorporated into its procedures. The new concept of the budget system in public finances of the Republic of Serbia determines the efficiency of public expenditure management with the introduction of a multi-level control system. In addition to establishing a budget inspection and audit, one of the multi-level controls is the system of introducing internal control.
