The analysis of information and organizational-analytical support of public authorities’ powers is a necessary step to improve the efficiency of the budgetary funds use and ensure the quality of providing public services. The relevance of the study is caused by the growth of uncertainty when making managerial decisions requiring new approaches in the sphere of information and analytical activity, as well as by the transition to the project management. The paper gives the characteristics of legal and methodological principles of financing federal budget expenses for information and organizational-analytical support of power of federal public authorities.
