The study provides recommendations on how to improve accounting and analysis of innovation costs, namely, the authors proposed an accounting approach that provides for the preliminary creation of additional analytical sections on the expense accounts and in the accounts, which keep records of capital investment and proposed to analyze innovation costs as part of a comprehensive analysis of innovation activity of the enterprise.
