CONTROL FUNCTIONS OF ACCOUNTING IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT

When applying control levers in the process of implementation of public procurement, it is necessary to take into account the relationship between public sector accounting and public procurement, identifying the relationships between the legal frameworks regulating the above areas. Introduced in recent years, public sector accounting standards, legislation, and legislative and by-laws governing public procurement are closely related to each other and complement each other; moreover, during accounting, control over expenditures in the field of public procurement is implemented in practice. The relationship between public procurement and public sector accounting is reflected not only in the disclosure of control functions, but also in various economic operations, through time and methodological differences in balance sheet items (assets, liabilities) recognition.

Study of directions of unification of technology transfer in ukraine with the regulation of the European Union

Problem setting. In modern economic conditions, the key to effective economic development of any country is the development of the production sphere of the national economy. At the same time, its level depends on the penetration of knowledge-intensive, advanced and breakthrough technologies. Most economically developed countries even implement integrated state policies aimed at stimulating and scaling technology transfer processes. Thanks to this, the number of those technologies that are implemented in the sphere of public production increases, and the share of highly competitive products increases significantly. The economic system of Ukraine is no exception to this rule. Thus, since 2006, Ukraine has had a special official document the Law of Ukraine “On State Regulation of Activities in the Field of Technology Transfer”. Its main task is to determine the requirements of how the state (in the form of authorized bodies) will contribute to the scaling process of technology transfer. The course announced by Ukraine for joining the European Union (hereinafter referred to as “the EU”) imposes on it special obligations regarding the unification of regulatory approaches to the identification of technology transfer with EU requirements. The specified situation determines, on the one hand, the relevance of scientific research on this topic, and places on scientists the task of forming relevant proposals. It is science that should shape them and determine effective directions, methods and forms of unification of the principles of functioning of Ukraine with EU requirements and thereby stabilize and intensify the transfer of technologies. Purpose of research is to develop methods and techniques for unifying the regulatory approach to defining the essence of technology transfer in Ukraine with the requirements of the European Union. This will make it possible to formulate recommendations for the Ukrainian public authorities when they implement managerial decisions within the framework of the State technology policy and form the basis for proposals for amending its national regulatory acts. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following interrelated tasks: (1) to analyze the state of regulatory support for technology transfer under EU law; (2) to study the state of regulatory support for technology transfer under Ukrainian law; (3) to formulate proposals on the main directions of unification of legal regulation of technology transfer under Ukrainian law with the requirements of EU law. Analysis of recent research and publications. An analysis of recent research and publications on the topic shows that many scholars have considered the general issues of state intervention in the national economy. The problem of the essence of technology transfer has been studied both at the level of independent economic systems and within international organizational entities. Article’s main body. The object of this research is a set of regulatory methods and techniques for determining the content and essence of such a category as technology transfer. Both the requirements of Ukraine and the regulatory approaches of the European Union are studied. The analysis and generalization of the existing world and international approaches to the identification of the essence of technology transfer established that they are not unified among themselves and differ significantly from each other. It has been proven that this does not meet the needs of technology transfer participants and does not meet the strategic goals of Ukraine’s development. The expediency of expanding the existing concept of determining the essence of technology transfer defined in Ukraine is substantiated. Recommendations on directions for the unification of regulatory approaches to the definition of technology transfer with the European Union have been formed. The need to amend the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On State Regulation of Activities in the Field of Technology Transfer” in order to bring it into line with the requirements of the European Union has been proven. Conclusions and prospects for development. It was determined that the current legislation of Ukraine contains a narrower approach to determining the essence of technology transfer. Recommendations on the unification of the requirements of Ukraine with the requirements of the EU, on the issue of identification of technology transfer, have been formed. The expediency of expanding the forms of technology transfer is substantiated by supplementing them with the following: – Transfer of technology during the implementation of special interstate defense and industrial programs. – Transfer of technology within the framework of grant funding and cooperation. – Transfer of technology during the implementation of public procurement. – Transfer of technology as a contribution to the integral property complex (statutory or accumulated capital) of economic entities. – Transfer of technology during the creation of startups.

Identification of Factors Causing Construction Contract Breaks and Recommendations for Improvement in West Pasaman Regency

The implementation of construction projects in the Regional Government of West Pasaman Regency almost every year there is always a termination of the contract which results in not achieving the government's goal of increasing the standard of living of the community because the targets set by the Government are delayed and hampered. This research was carried out which aims to identify the causes of contract termination in the implementation of construction service procurement in West Pasaman Regency, analyze and evaluate the causes of contract termination in construction implementation, and determine recommendations for improvement to prevent contract termination in the implementation of construction service procurement in Pasaman Regency West. This study uses descriptive qualitative analysis based on the results of interviews with CMO and TIO for work that has terminated its contract and analyzes administrative data on termination of contracts for construction work which has experienced termination of contract. The methods used in the discussion to find out the factors that cause construction contract termination are the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Method and the Obtain Cut Set (MOCUS) Method. From this study it can be concluded that the main factor causing the breakup of construction contracts is the owner's firmness with the performance of the provider, the provider being evaluated is unable to carry out the work, the contract termination should be carried out earlier, not waiting for the end of the year and not providing an extension of the implementation period past the fiscal year and the owner is negligent. in controlling the contract. While the supporting factors that cause the termination of the contract are the provider's fault, namely poor project management, the practice of borrowing company flags, not having capital, not heeding the instructions of the owner and field supervisor as well as other factors, namely disturbance factors from the community around the work location, weather, selection of providers and material supply. For recommendations for future improvements, it is recommended that the owner carry out control of the construction contract more optimally and the provider is more professional at work. This study analyzes the factors that cause construction contract terminations only from the owner's point of view, therefore further research is still needed from the point of view of job providers and supervisors to see the characteristics and possibilities of other different factors.

Green Public Procurement in Public Administration: Perceptions and Challenges in Practice

ABSTRACT The implementation of green public procurement (GPP) in the Maltese public administration was perceived as an important step that supports the achievement of environmental policies. Institutions are in place for the application of GPP. However, there are difficulties in practice, and more needs to be done in terms of training and capacity development. This study concludes that managerial decisions are taken to legitimize actions, so that the administrator appears to be doing the right thing in the eyes of the stakeholders. Institutions intentionally adopt GPP to adhere to the norms and values of society. Whether GPP has a positive effect on the environment is a secondary objective.

Dyadic capabilities in implementing performance-based public procurement

PurposeThis study aims to provide new understanding on operational and dynamic capabilities supportive to the implementation of performance-based public procurement by focusing on dyadic capabilities of a supplier and a buyer.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on the qualitative analysis of 20 interviews with informants representing Finnish public organizations and their private sector suppliers. The analysis is aligned with a theoretical framework connecting the phases of procurement and the capability types studied.FindingsThe findings of the study present the role of operational and dynamic capabilities of a buyer and a supplier in the implementation of performance-based procurement at public procurement phases. Preprocurement phase is found to greatly benefit from all three dynamic capabilities, while operational capabilities suffice in the contracting phase.Social implicationsIncreased understanding on capabilities needed in performance-based procurement can increase the chances of success in reaching better value for money of public services and developing supplier markets.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the literature on performance-based public procurement and value-based selling by taking a dyadic approach to the operational and dynamic capabilities needed in business with an emphasis on performance. As the focus in public procurement shifts increasingly from resources to performance, involving a joint effort between buyer and supplier, the study provides insights into role of dyadic capabilities and explains how dynamic and operational capabilities together support the phases of performance-based procurement implementation in the public sector.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF PROCUREMENT AND COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN NIGERIA

The construction sector plays a vital role in driving economic growth and development in Nigeria. However, it faces significant challenges, particularly in project performance, which can be attributed, at least in part, to ineffective communication and procurement management. This research aims to evaluate how communication and procurement management impact the outcomes of construction projects in Nigeria. To conduct this study, a quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a survey questionnaire administered to 260 construction professionals. The data collected underwent analysis employing various techniques such as descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), exploratory factor analyses (EFA), and structural equation model (SEM) utilizing software including the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Microsoft Excel, and LISREL (Linear Structural Relations). The SEM analysis results revealed that 31 out of the 35 hypotheses used in the study were validated. Among these, the strongest relationships observed were those between procurement management and time performance, procurement management and cost performance, time performance and cost performance, time performance and quality performance, and communication management and time performance, in that specific order. This demonstrates the critical role of effective communication and procurement management in achieving successful construction projects in Nigeria. Additionally, the analysis of factors affecting the implementation of procurement and communication management in the Nigerian construction industry highlighted the need for stakeholders to be proactive in developing strategies that facilitate effective implementation of these practices to enhance project performance. The study also emphasizes the importance of establishing effective procurement policies and regulations, embracing technology, building capacity, managing stakeholders, and continuously improving project management practices to elevate project performance in the Nigerian construction industry.

Understanding the Impact of Collaborative Governance on Sustainability: Evidence from Buying Green in Local Governments in Florida, USA

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes collaboration patterns in procurement and outcomes as well as the impact of collaboration on green public procurement (GPP) implementation. It draws data from case studies in local governments in Florida and examines the literature on collaborative governance and resource exchange theory. The findings highlight collaboration patterns and note that collaboration may lead to economies of scale, more agile procurement, and enhanced capacity. The study also notes that GPP generally emerges as an unintended by-product of collaboration, rather than a deliberate outcome. It further offers evidence of the conditions under which collaboration can be leveraged to improve GPP.

Analysis and discussion on the pharmaceutical centralized procurement implementation - a case study of a large provincial hospital in China.

Unaffordable medical treatment and inflated drug prices have become a challenging issue for lawmakers worldwide. To reduce the financial burden and standardize the pharmaceutical market, the Chinese government has issued several detailed regulations, including the measures of drug recruitment and procurement in one and volume purchasing to not only ensure the high quality of approved drugs but also lower the cost of the production and sell procedure. In this work, to have a thorough overview of the enforcement of these regulations, we attempted to critically analyze the data of our hospital's centralized procurement of drugs from 2019 to 2022. We identified some concerns, such as the difficulty in determining the "quantity" of drug procurement, out-of-stock of collectively procured drugs, difficulty in managing the preallocation of associated funds, incomplete centralized procurement systems, etc. Therefore, it is essential to promote a multidimensional strategy, including the combination of the medical insurance reform and drug centralized procurement policies, strict controlling of the forecast quantity of drugs to ensure stable drug supply, improvement of the relevant policies for retaining the surplus of centralized procurement drug medical insurance funds, secureness of the drug procurement system platform, and available reference and guidance for subsequent centralized quantity procurement of drugs.

IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN PENGADAAN BARANG DAN JASA SECARA ELEKTRONIK PADA BAGIAN PENGADAAN BARANG DAN JASA SEKRETARIAT DAERAH KABUPATEN PARIGI MOUTONG

The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of electronic goods and services procurement policies in the Procurement Division of the Regional Secretariat of Parigi Moutong Regency. This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and triangulation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman method, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The model used in this research is the one developed by Edward III, known as A Model of the Policy Implementation Process. This model identifies four variables that influence the relationship between policy and performance: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of electronic goods and services procurement in Parigi Moutong Regency has not been optimal. The communication aspect has been functioning well with coordination and socialization in place, but the aspects of resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure are still suboptimal. The main obstacles are the limited number of human resources with IT expertise and inadequate infrastructure. Disposition is not yet optimal as many OPDs (Regional Government Organizations) still use manual methods, and the bureaucratic structure is not fully supportive due to the lack of clear technical guidelines or SOPs. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of electronic goods and services procurement in Parigi Moutong Regency has not been optimal. While the communication aspect is functioning well, the aspects of resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure need improvement to achieve better performance.

Implementing public procurement of green innovations: Does structural alignment matter?

This study contributes to the theory and practice of public procurement by examining the role of structural alignment in the implementation of public procurement of green innovations. Structural alignment is defined as the coherence and harmonization between strategic aspects of an organization. The organizational aspects examined in this study are strategic goals, structural and control mechanism, and adequacy of resources. The study draws on secondary survey data collected from 379 public-sector organizations in Norway. The analysis was conducted using a novel approach that combines partial least squares structural equation modeling and necessary condition analysis. There is a positive and significant relationship between strategic goals and structural and control mechanism; between structural and control mechanism and adequacy of resources; and between the adequacy of resources and the attainment of public procurement of green innovations. The findings support the structural alignment hypothesis in that the presence of strategic goals results in the implementation of the public procurement of green innovations if structure, control, and adequate resources are in place. Finally, the results show that strategic goals are a necessary condition for enacting a corresponding structural and control design and that structural and control design are a necessary condition for allocating resources, which are themselves a necessary condition for the increased implementation of the public procurement of green innovations.

The impacts of national centralized drug procurement policy on drug utilization of medical institutions: an empirical study in a county-level hospital in China

PurposeUnder the background of the regular implementation of the National Centralized Drug Procurement (NCDP) policy, this study aimed to assess the impacts of the NCDP policy on drug utilization of county-level medical institutions, and probe into the influencing factors of the changes in drug utilization.MethodA pre-post study was applied using inpatient data from a county-level medical institution in Nanjing. Drug utilization behavior of medical institutions of 88 most commonly used policy-related drugs (by generic name, including bid-winning and bid-non-winning brands) was analyzed, and the substitution of bid-winning brands for brand-name drugs after policy intervention was evaluated.ResultsAfter policy intervention, 43.18% of policy-related drugs realized the substitution of bid-winning brands for bid-non-winning brands (6.82% of complete substitution, 36.36% of partial substitution). Meanwhile, 40.90% of policy-related drugs failed to realize brand substitution. Multiple factors affected brand substitution, including: (1) Policy effect: brand substitution was more obvious after the intervention of the first and third round of NCDP. (2) Drug market competition: the greater the price reduction of bid-non-winning brands, the more the drugs for the same indication, the more likely that medical institutions keep using the same brands as they did before policy intervention. (3) Previous drug utilization of medical institutions: brand substitution was more obvious in drugs with large number of prescriptions and weak preference for brand-name drugs.ConclusionThe NCDP policy promoted the substitution of bid-winning brands for bid-non-winning brands. However, the NCDP policy remained to be further implemented in county-level medical institutions. Policy implememtation efforts, drug market competition and drug utilization of medical institutions would affect the implementation of the NCDP policy.

An integrated structural equation modeling and fuzzy qualitative comparative analysis model for examining green procurement adoption drivers

This research examines the factors that influence the implementation of green procurement in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), namely top management commitment, regulations, costs, pressure from consumers, and transformational leadership as moderation. The research employs a quantitative approach with 206 samples from the Indonesian SME industry. It utilizes Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (FsQCA). The data set includes factors such as top management commitment, regulations, costs, consumer pressure, and transformational leadership as moderation variables. The results show that management commitment, regulations, costs, and customer pressure influence green procurement. The role of the moderating variable shows that transformational leadership only strengthens the influence of costs on green procurement and regulation on green procurement. Meanwhile, the influence of top management commitment to green procurement and customer pressure on green procurement shows that transformational leadership does not strengthen these variables. The research’s novelty lies in combining SEM and FsQCA to analyze the causal relationships among variables influencing green procurement in SMEs. It highlights the importance of understanding and effectively managing these relationships for organizations adopting green procurement practices.
