Abstract

The development of digital economy became one of the most significant factors of the modern social development. Business was the first to join the process of digital transformation. That results in the explosive growth of the electronic commerce volumes, as well as the development of Big Data and Internet of things technologies. However, the system of public administration is the most important direction of the use and storing of information and data in the digital form. The system of public administration deals with the volumes of data, which cannot be compared with that in the largest enterprises and multinational corporations. The use of digital economy technologies is necessary for the increase in the effectiveness of public administration. Recently, Russian State has taken up leading the digital transformation by approving the Digital Economy of the Russian Federation Programme in 2017. Thus, it is especially important to study the digital transformation and spread the information about the experience. This article became the result of the research on the digital transformation of Audit Chamber of the Russian Federation. Studying of the main stages and results of the digital transformation, which is being carried out in Audit Chamber, became the research objective. The methods of the situation analysis were applied. Both processes of resistance to changes and ways of their overcoming were studied along with studying of digital transformation stages. The methods of social research were used for this purpose. This analysis proved that the digitalization of the Audit Chamber is still in the preparatory stage, so it is too early to make any conclusions. However, the actions taken are optimized for the subsequent possibility of automation and the use of digital technologies, that allows us to expect the subsequent successful digitalization.
