Comprehensive Assessment of the Natural and Economic Potential of Ukraine's Sustainable Development: The Methodology of the Formation

Overcoming destructive changes in the processes of transformation of the natural resource use of territorial communities requires the development of new approaches aimed at ensuring a balance of interests and effective interaction between the authorities, business, and the state in the field of environmental management. An urgent task is to form an updated systemic organization of spatial natural and economic formations to implement integrated management of the natural resource potential of Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the methodology of a system-integrated assessment of the natural and economic potential of Ukraine in the context of sustainable development. The methodological basis of the research is the subject-object method. The dialectical method of applying economic laws, analysis, synthesis, economic-statistical, monographic, and abstract-logical methods was used to generalize the results obtained. Ways of solving the problems of transforming the model of state influence on the modernization processes of public-private forms of ensuring sustainable development of territories were proposed. It will allow finding a balance in the structure of resource management, in the plane of the spatial organization of natural economic activity. The authors focus on forming management systems at the lower territorial level. The updated, by modern requirements, methodology for assessing the efficiency of using the space of economic activity has been substantiated. It has been proved that an actual result can be achieved when considering three fundamental regularities of ensuring the efficiency of production and economic, interregional and intersectoral interaction of regional social, economic, and ecological systems. These study results are the basis for forming a systemic and universal concept of the transition of Ukraine and its regions to sustainable development in conditions of resource constraints and the constant strengthening of social, political, military, environmental, and economic threats and risks.

The Impact of IFRS Adoption on the Quality of Accounting Information: Systematic Literature Review

The quality of accounting information cannot be separated from the adopted accounting standards. More than 87% of countries worldwide have implemented IFRS standards as financial guidelines in their countries. The goal of IFRS is to make companies more transparent and flexible in producing accounting information based on which users can predict future investment values. The purpose of this article is a systematic literature review on the quality of accounting information associated with adopting IFRS. The sample of this study - 125 articles reviewed in four main classifications: research subject areas, measurement of accounting information quality, theoretical approaches, and research methods. Previous research was obtained from online databases such as Science Direct, Emerald Group, Sage Journal, and Taylor & Francis. The PICO framework in this study was applied to minimize bias from previous studies. The analysis results show that average the most articles on the quality of accounting information were found in journals categorized in the accounting field. Most studies have been found on the European continent regarding the quality of accounting information – 52 (37.7%). Determining the quality of accounting information requires several tests. As a result, 49 (38.8%) and 47 (37.1%) articles emphasize the accrual test model and value relevance model in assessing the quality of accounting information. The results show that 56 articles (44.8%) use the regression analysis method to test value relevance, accrual, and timely loss reporting models.

The Influence of Risk Management, Third-Party Funds and Capital Structure on Banking Sector Financial Performance in Indonesia and Thailand with Corporate Governance as Moderating Variable in 2015-2019

The banking sector plays an important role in the country's economic growth. International experience shows that a weak banking sector not only threatens the long-term stability of a country's economy. It can also cause a financial crisis which can lead to economic crisis. Therefore, it is important to identify and investigate the factors on which the financial performance of banks depends. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of risk management, third-party funds and capital structure on banking sector financial performance in Indonesia and Thailand with corporate governance as moderating variable. The authors use return on assets (ROA) as the key indicator of bank efficiency. The data used in this study are secondary data, including nonperforming loan (NPL), loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR), operating expenses to operating income (BOPO), net interest margin (NIM), third party funds (TPF), debt-to-equity ratio (DER), return on assets (ROA), corporate governance. The data was obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (www.idx.co.id) and the Thai Stock Exchange (www.set.or.th). The sample used in this study is 20 conventional banks listed on the Indonesia and Thailand Stock Exchange from 2015-2019. The methodological basis of this study is the use of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Partial Least Square (PLS). Data processing was performed in the WarpPLS 7.0 software. The study results show that NPL and LDR have a negative and significant influence on the financial performance of banks. At the same time, the BOPO and DER do not affect the financial performance of banks. The NIM and TPF have a significant and positive influence on the bank's financial performance. In addition, corporate governance does not moderate risk management relationship to the bank's financial performance. The results of this study can benefit bank shareholders and customers, and bank management.

Formation of Individual Budgeting Model at the Enterprises

In modern business conditions there is an urgent need to apply innovative approaches to the implementation of a holistic budgeting system, which will contribute to the efficient use of financial resources through the formation of an individual budgeting model. Despite in-depth scientific research of the budgeting system at the enterprise, the issues related to the choice of the model of its implementation are insufficiently substantiated. It is necessary: to clarify the list of system-forming elements; to harmonize the strategic objectives of the enterprise and operational objectives related to the implementation of the budgeting model; to determine the specific conditions of the enterprise in the preparation of budgets. The purpose of the article is to assess the advantages and disadvantages of existing budgeting models at the modern enterprises, the formation of an individual budgeting model and the characteristics of its system-forming elements based on the use of decomposition analysis. The expediency of individualization of the budget model was proved taking into account such factors as the organizational structure of the enterprise, type and branch of economic activity, management requirements for the composition and structure of information reflected in budgets. Based on the application of decomposition analysis, the system-forming elements of the individual budgeting model (purpose, tasks, functions, principles, subject, object, subject, result, process) were specified. The restrictions for such model functioning were determined. The positive effect of the individual budgeting model implementation at the enterprise will be: the effective realization of its strategic financial potential; the identification of “bottlenecks” in the organizational structure of the enterprise, including among the centers of financial responsibility; the improving information interaction between individual structural units; the strengthening the system of control over the results of the enterprise activity.

Management of Tax Burden on Value-Added Tax at the Enterprise Level

Modern economic conditions in Ukraine are characterized by an excessive level of tax burden on business and the instability of tax legislation, which hinders the development of entrepreneurial activities of business entities. Therefore, one of the main factors of business growth is the creation of an effective and flexible mechanism for optimizing the tax burden at the enterprise level. The purpose of the article is to systematize the existing methods of management of tax burden on value-added tax at the enterprise Level, as well as to substantiate possible ways to optimize tax payments for VAT. The features of the formation of the tax burden on the activities of business entities were disclosed in the context of reforming the tax system of Ukraine. For the purpose of effective management of the value added tax burden at the enterprise, it was proposed: to organize a system of constant monitoring of the balance of funds on the electronic account, which is open for each VAT payer, in the electronic VAT administration system; to organize a control system under contracts for the receipt of commodity values (services); to establish partnerships with contractors-suppliers and buyers. In addition, to reduce the tax burden on VAT in the activities of business entities, the following measures have been proposed: to develop a calendar-schedule of payments and purchases; to coordinate advance payments and purchases with suppliers; to draw up a plan-calendar for registering your own tax invoices (tax liability) and received from the supplier (tax credit); to establish contractual relations with contractors-suppliers from the conditions of payment and registration of tax invoices stipulated in the contract.

Audit of Compliance of Public Procurement: Theoretical and Practical Aspects

The purpose of the article is to identify the main elements of the public procurement compliance audit and disclose the practical aspects of its implementation. It was determined that the control function is a priority in the management of public procurement in Ukraine among other functions (planning, organization, accounting, analysis, motivation, regulation). The problem of non-compliance of legislative provision of the state audit with international ISSAI standards due to the lack of compliance audit was identified. The main legislative requirements (general and specific) for conducting the compliance audit were considered. The proposed author's vision of the purpose, tasks, subject, objects and subjects of compliance audit which correlates with international ISSAI standards. The objects of the audit are the activities of the customer (participant) at different stages of the life cycle of procurement items, public resources and the activities of responsible state agencies. The main entities (in accordance with the requirements of international standards) are the state auditor, controlled entity and potential users. The main issues on the directions and objects of compliance audit are detailed. The main issues on the areas and objects of compliance audit were detailed. The stages of compliance audit (planning, carrying out and preparation of reporting documentation) with the definition of control actions at each of them were disclosed. The criteria of legality and validity in the compliance audit (relevance, completeness, reliability, neutrality, clarity, usefulness, compatibility, acceptability, accessibility) were characterized. The internal sources of state audit (including compliance audit) of public procurement at the stage of pre-contractual and contractual procedures in the electronic procurement system, as well as the use of procurement items were described. The methods of state audit of public procurement by the objects of inspection (observation, verification, research, confirmation, analytical procedures) are highlighted.

Accounting for Capital Turnover

Economic globalization, digitalization of management processes, introduction of new forms of business organization, implementation of the concept of sustainable development are factors that affect the process of capital turnover and determine the need to improve its accounting support. The purpose of the article is to search for options for improving the accounting for capital turnover at the enterprise in modern conditions of a dynamic market environment. The economic essence of capital was disclosed and the capital turnover was identified as an object of accounting. The capital turnover in the enterprise is carried out constantly and is expressed through the turnover of funds that must be reflected in the accounting system. The analysis of the presentation (classification) of assets in the reporting was carried out, and it was found that all assets of an economic entity are in economic circulation, although the order and circulation period of various assets is not the same. Therefore, the division of assets into non-circulating and circulating assets is incorrect, since it contradicts the real essence of economic phenomena. It was proposed to change the approach to the presentation of assets in the reporting and rename the sections “Non-circulating assets” and “Circulating assets” in the Balance Sheet (Statement of financial position) of Ukrainian enterprises to “Non-current assets” and “Current assets”, respectively. It was proposed to place the balance sheet asset items in descending order of liquidity of assets. In particular, the first item will be “Money and their equivalents”, and then other items depending on the liquidity of assets. Accounting for business transactions must be kept according to the stages of capital turnover. In order to accounting for the sale of goods, works and services, it is advisable to use one synthetic account, on the debit of which it shows the sold products at their cost price, and on the credit – at the selling prices.

Diagnostics of the State of Agricultural Enterprises Financial Security

In the conditions of rapid changes in the modern market environment, it is extremely important for agricultural enterprises to respond in a timely manner to threats to their financial security. Therefore, economic diagnostics is of significant methodological importance, and makes it possible to learn about economic problems and interpret the results of enterprises activity that have certain deviations from the norm or the state required for the enterprise. The subject of the study is a set of theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of diagnosing the state of financial security of enterprises. The purpose of the article is to diagnose the state of financial security of agricultural enterprises on the basis of the proposed methodological approach and to substantiate proposals for its improvement. The methodological basis of the diagnostics used in the study was: methods of theoretical generalizations, financial analysis, scoring method, analysis of dynamics and structure, linear programming. The article reveals the tasks and areas of management of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises with an emphasis on the protection of their specific financial interests – ensuring liquidity, solvency, financial stability, autonomy and others. For research purposes all Ukrainian agricultural enterprises were classified on the size of the net income. The system of indicators for diagnostics of financial security of the agricultural enterprises was offered. The basic structural elements of the mechanism of financial security management were substantiated. According to the diagnosis results, it was found that the state of financial security of large enterprises in 2018-2019 has deteriorated and it has had a negative impact on their solvency. Instead, the financial security of small and medium-sized enterprises has improved. Based on the experience of developed countries, proposals for public policy instruments to promote financial security of agricultural enterprises were proposed.

The Factors Affecting Islamic Financing for Homeownership

Indonesia has a significant and growing shortfall of housing. Existing supply is in poor condition and demand is rising for new units. Meanwhile, people's purchasing power to buy a house is still relatively low. Government overcomes added stock housing availability by collaborating with private developers to help meet the demand for housing needs. Islamic banks can provide funds to buy houses for the community. This study analyzes the effect of third-party fund (TPF), margin of homeownership financing (PPR), inflation, and household income on Islamic financing for homeownership. The analytical model used in this research is the ordinary least square with the Error Correction Model (ECM) method. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method in this study is used to see the relationship between the short-term and long-term effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The analytical tool used in this research is Econometric Views (EViews 10 Standard Edition for Windows). The study results show that in the short term, the TPF, PPR margin, inflation, and household income variables have a significant positive effect on homeownership financing in Islamic banks in Indonesia. The long term TPF, inflation, and household income variables have a significant positive effect on homeownership financing in Islamic banks in Indonesia, but the variable of PPR margin has a significant negative impact on sharia financing for homeownership.

Public Procurement as the Object of Audit and Management of the United Rural Territorial Communities in the Context of Decentralization

United territorial communities in the context of decentralization are authorized to carry out public procurement at their own discretion. However, additional responsibility reinforces the need to involve the institution of audit as a guarantor of the economic and social feasibility of the process. The purpose of the article is to determine the place of public procurement as one of the objects of the national audit system in order to increase the efficiency of management of united territorial communities. It was found that, despite the improvement of legislative regulation in the sphere of public procurement, the illegal, often “lobbied” use of budgetary funds requires increased control, both from the state and the public, and from the actual administration of the united territorial communities. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the state audit of public procurement were revealed. The directions of improving the state audit of the public procurement process in united rural territorial communities were proposed, while observing the priority of sustainable development goals. The capabilities of the electronic public procurement platform Prozorro were critically assessed. The reasons and prerequisites for the elimination of the corruption component of the public procurement process at the local (united territorial communities) and global (national economy) levels were identified. The need for IT-auditing in the field of legality and economic feasibility of using budget funds in rural territorial communities was proved. The impact of the audit on the general system of information and analytical support of management consists in assessing the effectiveness of activity processes, information processes and control procedures in order to improve the management model of activity and, accordingly, the decision-making system.
