The article presents a strategic approach to the formation of financial sustainability of higher education institutions (HEIs), aimed at its development. It is determined that financial sustainability in the context of the strategy of the development is provided by the current solvency, as well as the created financial space, which contains two interrelated components: current (operational) financial space as financial opportunities created by exceeding the university income (for functioning), as well as strategic financial space as financial opportunities created by exceeding the income of the university its necessary expanses for the development. The indicators of financial stability have presented, which are taken into account during the financial management and setting appropriate strategic objectives that allows to assess the gap between the declared goals of the development strategy and financial opportunities, to make decisions about the optimization of operating and investment activities of HEI.It is proposed that operating financial space is also evaluated on the basis of its characteristics, such as: diversification of funding sources and revenues, their stability and flexibility of use. To maintain the financial sustainability of the university, it is also important to increase the profitability of educational programs and educational activities. It is justified that profitability maintains the financial sustainability of the HEI, thatmakes the increasing the profitability of educational programs and educational activities an impotent issue of financial management. Margin of safety in the income of the special fund from the main activity relative to the break-even point by the number of students of the university (faculty) one of the crucial profitability indicator, that requires appropriate managerial accounting system.

Innovation In Higher Education

Purpose This study aims to examine the extant literature to analyze the relationship between quality assurance (QA) and innovation in the higher education context. Design/methodology/approach This study selected 63 articles through a systematic literature review in Scopus and Web of Science databases and performed a descriptive and thematic synthesis-analysis on the sample. Findings The research identifies several perspectives discussed on QA systems covering experiences, criticisms and practice implications. The literature review shows there is no clear consensus on whether innovation in higher education institutions (HEIs) is fostered or hindered by QA processes. However, it seems that the likelihood of innovativeness and positive QA outcomes are directly linked to how these processes are managed in universities. Research limitations/implications This review highlights the university management concerns that emerge with QA issues as it is not yet clear to what extent innovation is actually promoted in scenarios where QA is applied. Hence, this literature review could be considered comprehensive but not exhaustive. Further studies are recommended to improve the understanding of how HEIs can both innovate and ensure quality at the same time. Originality/value The paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by advancing the opportunities and challenges that HEIs face due to QA system features.
