ATTRACTION OF RESOURCES TO UKRAINIAN AGRIBUSINESS THROUGH AGRARIAN RECEIPT: ACCOUNTING ASPECT

The purpose of the study was to disclose the content of agrarian receipts and the mechanism for their application in the settlement system of Ukrainian agricultural producers as an alternative way to attract resources for doing business under martial law in Ukraine, as well as to make proposals for their accounting in order to avoid business risks. The state of lending to agricultural producers during martial law is analyzed and the importance of lending against agrarian receipts is substantiated. The experience of Brazil in the process of lending for the future harvest was assessed. The history of the introduction of agrarian receipts in Ukraine is characterized on the basis of borrowing the idea of Brazil. The essence of agrarian receipts is revealed and the legal framework for their circulation in Ukraine is investigated. The difference between agrarian receipts and other financial instruments (bill, forward contract, pledge) is determined. The problematic aspects of the introduction of agrarian receipts into circulation, which hinder the effectiveness of the use of this tool by agricultural enterprises in the process of attracting financial resources, are systematized. The business models of relationships between counterparties in the process of circulation of agrarian receipts are characterized. Theoretical and practical aspects of accounting for agrarian receipts have been studied and problematic aspects in the methodology for reflecting settlements by agrarian receipts in the system of accounting accounts have been identified. Organizational, methodological and practical recommendations are proposed aimed at improving the procedure for recording transactions with commodity agrarian receipts in the accounting system as an innovative way of financing agricultural producers at the domestic and international levels. This will make it possible to quickly collect data on the circulation of agrarian receipts and improve information support in making managerial decisions by various groups of Ukrainian and foreign stakeholders.

Mechanism of influence of agricultural cooperation on the development of human capital of rural areas of Ukraine

The article is devoted to highlighting the impact of agricultural cooperation on the development of human capital in rural areas and substantiating the components and architectonics of the mechanism of this process. It is substantiated that one of the most promising forms of horizontal integration of small and medium-sized agricultural producers in Ukraine is cooperation, which is an objective necessity for the socio-economic development of both the agrarian sector of the economy and rural areas. It has been established that, depending on the species' activities, service cooperatives are divided into processing, procurement and sale, supply, service, and others, and the features of their tasks and functions in the process of economic activity are characterized. The efficiency of the functioning of agricultural service cooperatives in the European Union, aimed at improving management efficiency and protection from competition with monopoly structures in the processing and sale of agricultural products, is shown. The importance of developing agricultural service cooperatives to solve sales problems and increase energy efficiency in agriculture, particularly with the help of "green" energy cooperatives, is indicated. Attention is focused on the low quality of legal norms and the complexity of administrative and legal regulation of the activities of cooperatives, and the need for further support from the state and improvement of information support is determined. The groups of negative factors influencing the development of the agricultural service cooperative are generalized and disclosed, dividing them into three groups: State, economic, and organizational. A mechanism of influence of agricultural service cooperation on the formation and development of human capital in rural areas of Ukraine has been proposed. During the study, considering the negative factors influencing the development of the agricultural service cooperative, the architectonics of the mechanism of influence of agricultural service cooperation on the formation and development of human capital in rural areas of Ukraine, which can ensure the creation of economic, social, and environmental conditions for the formation and development of human capital in rural areas, was presented and substantiated. Keywords: agricultural cooperation, service cooperation, human resources, rural areas, development mechanisms.

Особенности разработки нормативов допустимого воздействия на малые реки Севастопольского региона

The aim of the study is the identification of uncertainties to improve information support for the standards of permissible impact (SPI) elaboration for small rivers of the Sevastopol region. Materials and methods. The initial data were the results of surface water bodies monitoring in the Sevastopol region, other materials on the Chernaya River basin, characterizing the conditions for the formation of runoff and the quality of waters of small rivers. Monitoring data has been provided by the territorial bodies of Roshydromet, Rospotrebnadzor, Rosprirodnadzor and State Unitary Enterprise of Sevastopol for Water Use (SUES "Vodokanal"). The shortcomings of information support for the elaboration of SPI are revealed. Pollutants were ranked according to their importance for the ecosystem of the Chernaya River tributaries and distribution in water bodies, the water quality standards are substantiated. The list of pollutants in descending order of importance for the ecosystem includes: phosphates, nitrites, ammonium ion, BOD5, suspended solids, iron, manganese, copper, magnesium, calcium, nickel, zinc, phenols, sulfates, surfactants, oil products. The most common pollutants (indicators of pollution) in the tributaries of the Chernaya River are BOD5, nitrites, phenols, manganese, iron and copper (excesses of standards are recorded for almost all objects). MPC for objects of fishery importance were adopted as standards for SPI elaboration. The exception was BOD5, for this indicator the hygienic standard was used. Assumptions are proposed that allow solving the problem of elaboration SPI under conditions of incomplete information. The calculations of the runoff volume for the years of 50 % and 95 % security, SPIchem for priority pollutants on the main hydrological seasons were performed. Analysis of the results showed that SPI differ significantly by hydrological seasons (up to 48 times) and by each indicator of pollution for different tributaries, which is especially pronounced (more than 10 times) for the Uzundzha and Kalenda Rivers in terms of BOD5, iron, phenols and phosphates. The results obtained confirms the need for differentiated regulation of the permissible impact on individual tributaries of the Chernaya River. When developing the SPI for the small rivers of the Sevastopol region, normative-methodological, informational, large-scale and target uncertainties were identified. The assumptions proposed in the work make it possible to solve practical problems of management in the field of use and protection of water bodies, but do not reduce the relevance of measures aimed at improving the information support for the SPI elaboration. Measures aimed at improving the information support for the SPI elaboration includes: organizing access to the monitoring data of the territorial body of Roshydromet («Crimean UGMS»), increasing the frequency of observations on tributaries of the Chernaya River, organization of systematic observations in the background sections and in the zones of influence of diffuse sources of pollution.

DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION SUPPORT FOR FISCAL RISK MANAGEMENT WITHIN CRISES

Crisis phenomena, such as economic downturns, health emergencies and geopolitical conflicts, had a significant impact on the transparency of information support for public financial management processes and the development of digitalization of the economy.The objective of the study is to assess the current state of information support and transparency of the management of fiscal risks caused by state-owned enterprises' activities under uncertainty.Within the study, the existing international approaches to identifying and assessing fiscal risks are analyzed; the areas for improving information support for managing fiscal risks caused by the activities of state-owned enterprises in emergency situations are identified; the impact of digital finance development on mitigating fiscal risks caused by emergencies is assessed. Proposals to increase the transparency of public finances and create additional revenues to the state budget by the development of innovative technologies are substantiated.Implementation of fiscal and monetary policy measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and ensure sustainable post-pandemic recovery requires relevant financial information reflecting the country's financial position. A reliable source of such information is public financial and budgetary statements prepared by IPSAS and on an accrual basis. Given the negative impact of uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic and war on the activities of state-owned enterprises, an important tool for improving the efficiency of fiscal risk management is the unification of approaches to establishing indicators for assessing relevant risks and providing information for their calculation. In response to lockdowns and social distancing measures during crises, citizens have increasingly relied on digital channels to access government services, pay taxes, and receive financial support. This has necessitated improved digital infrastructure and service delivery mechanisms.

THE PRACTICE OF CARING FOR THE ELDERLY POPULATION AND PEOPLE WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

The purpose of the review is to analyze the practices of caring for the elderly population and people with cognitive impairments in the focus of the XXI century among the peoples of different countries.
 
 Materials and methods. Using the method of scientometric analysis, 20 articles from WoS and Scopus on historical anthropology, demography, and social security were studied. The information is synthesized and taken in accordance with the purpose of the study.
 
 Results. Learning the transformation in the practices of caring for the elderly population and people with cognitive impairments is a relevant interdisciplinary direction in anthropology. The relevance of the topic is emphasized by current demographic changes, the evolution of cultural values and modernization of care systems for the older generation. The data obtained show the evolution of society in relation to the elderly population with possible mental disorders. The selected models of care contribute to understanding the trends in the development of the society. For Europe, significant partners as a source of care in old age and the existence of “Money for care” and “Kind care” schemes, organized individual and family consultations by phone or ad hoc. In Canadian society, according to existing government programs, the emphasis in palliative care is placed on long-term care homes. Assistance in Africa is becoming a collective responsibility of family members, with frequent use of biomedical and non-medical methods of treatment. The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are characterized by a fragmented system of facilitation and assistance to older people.
 
 Conclusions. The author notes social isolation of the older generation and the state unpredictability of using the knowledge resource as intellectual capital in the economy. At the same time, there is a timely response of the UN to the ongoing demographic processes and promotion of the WHO program to create the concept of a “city favorable for older people”. Properly organized guardianship will help the elderly to maintain self-esteem. The demographic and economic processes taking place in the historical moment are changing the attitude of society to this problem.
 
 The author expects that a positive orientation of caring for the elderly population and people with cognitive impairments observed in the XXI century will not change its course.
 
 The information provided in this article is useful for specialists working in the field of history, sociology, healthcare, guardianship, etc., as well as in the framework of improving information support in the specialty 5.6.4. Ethnology, anthropology and ethnography.

Problematic Aspects of Accounting for Contributions to Share Capital of Companies in Investor

Introduction. The process of creating, reorganizing, and liquidating enterprises has always been and remains an important object of accounting. In this regard, a considerable amount of scientific literature and articles have been published, analyzing the legislative, regulatory, and instructive basis for such accounting. However, it should be noted that issues related to the reflection in the accounting of the process of acquiring corporate rights by investors and the repayment of indebtedness for contributions to the share capital of subsidiary companies are understudied and highly controversial. Due to the time difference between these processes and the investor’s failure to reflect corporate rights in accounting and reporting as of their occurrence date, information users (creditors, investors, shareholders) will lack reliable data on the company’s assets, its financial and resource capabilities, development strategy, and risks. Therefore, there is a need to find ways to properly reflect corporate rights in accounting for the investor’s share in the company’s share capital in accordance with the statutory documents and further transfer of assets against the specified contributions.The purpose of the study is to improve the methodology for accounting for contributions to the share capital of business entities in investor, which will allow for the formation of substantiated accounting and reporting information and making informed management decisions, taking into account the risks of enterprise activity and its development strategy. Methods. The research methodology is based on the application of a systemic approach to improving the accounting for corporate rights in the investor and the procedure for the repayment of indebtedness for contributions to the share capital. The following research methods were used: comparison, analysis, and synthesis - to determine the impact of investment processes on micro and macroeconomics, the role of accounting information in these processes; comparative analysis, scientific generalization - for analyzing the proposed variants of reflecting indebtedness of investors for contributions to the share capital in accounting; induction and deduction, abstract-logical - for improving the Chart of Accounts for accounting and the Instruction on its application to reflect the right to a share in the share capital of companies; cause-and-effect relationship, modeling, and formalization - for constructing a model for accounting for contributions to the share capital of business entities in the investor.Results. The impact of investment processes on micro- and macroeconomics has been identified, emphasizing the role of accounting information in shaping the investment policies of economic entities. An analysis of the proposed variants of reflecting indebtedness of investors for contributions to the share capital has been carried out, based on which the authors have made their own proposals for solving this problem. In the Chart of Accounts for accounting for assets, capital, liabilities, and business operations of enterprises and organizations, as well as in the Instruction on its application, it is proposed to open subaccount 126 «Rights to a Share in the Share Capital of Companies» under account 12 «Intangible Assets,» which will allow for reflecting in accounting the fact of obtaining the right to a share in the share capital of the company in accordance with the signed statutory documents. For accounting for the occurrence and repayment of indebtedness for contributions to the share capital of a subsidiary company, it is recommended to use subaccount 682 «Internal Settlements.» It is emphasized that when accounting for operations related to investments in the share capital of business entities, the investor needs to calculate VAT obligations based on the fixed value of assets in the statutory documents in the form of inventories or non-current assets. A model for accounting for contributions to the share capital of business entities in the investor has been developed, which will provide reliable information support for investment processes in the enterprise.Prospects for further research. Further research will focus on improving information support for contributions to the share capital of business entities in the investor to enable a substantiated assessment of their performance.

METHODICAL APPROACHES TO IMPROVING THE INFORMATION PROVISION OF OCCUPATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The article presents the results of the analysis of the current state of information support of the labor protection management system in the aspect of transition to the introduction of risk-oriented approach. It is noted that the system of labor protection management, which was formed in accordance with the command-administrative principles of the planned economy, in today's conditions was not effective enough, so it needs to improve its information support. One of the shortcomings of the existing information support of labor protection management can be considered unresolved issues of integration of various information systems (IS) in the field of labor protection, designed to solve management problems, which does not allow to form generalized information bases, to conduct analytical data processing. Assessment of occupational risks requires systematic monitoring of enterprise performance indicators, provides for forecasting the dynamics of changes in these indicators, as well as taking into account other factors that potentially affect occupational risks. To automate the process of collecting and analyzing initial data, modeling and calculating the forecast of occupational risk, it is proposed to create a specialized monitoring information system. Given the need for significant financial costs for the implementation of this project, other approaches to improving information support are the gradual creation of separate subsystems of the monitoring system. The main directions of improvement of information support of occupational risk management are formed, in particular modernization of information systems at the state level and enterprise level is offered. The statistics accumulated during the operation of these systems can be used as initial data for occupational risk assessment and further development of sound preventive measures.

Cybercrime as a New Object of Statistical Analysis

A global trend in recent years is the so-called digitalization of crime, that is, the use of information technology as a means and instrument of crime. Remote methods of committing crimes have become widespread, in which direct contact is excluded not only between the offender and the victim, but also between the accomplices of illegal activities. The real damage from cybercrimes is currently difficult to calculate, while the number of these crimes is growing rapidly from year to year. This study analyzes the state and dynamics of crimes in the field of information technology, as well as identifies gaps in legislation, law enforcement practice and accounting in which information about crimes of this type is accumulated. Purpose of the research. The purpose of the research is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the state and dynamics of crimes in the field of information technology. Within the framework of the article, it is necessary to give a definition of crimes in the field of information technology for the purpose of conducting static analysis, while distinguishing between identical concepts. Highlight the main types and methods of their commission, form the classification of crimes in the field of information technology and designate the criteria for their construction. Analyze the experience of foreign countries and the results of the operational activities of the economic security and anti-corruption units of the territorial internal affairs bodies and suggest measures to improve the efficiency of the work being done.Materials and methods. When writing the work, the author used the methods of mathematical statistics; methods of the general theory of statistics, namely, relative, absolute and average values, methods of synthesis and analysis. For visual display of statistical data, graphical and tabular methods of data visualization were used. The information and empirical base was compiled by data on crimes in this area of the Main Information and Analytical Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Judicial Department under the Supreme Court and the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation.Results of the research. When writing the article, a quantitative assessment of the state of crime in the field of information technology was made, the main objects of attack by cybercriminals were identified; the most characteristic features and methods of committing crimes in the field of information technology were described. A statistical classification system for assessing the level of cybercrime is proposed. The effectiveness of the work carried out by law enforcement agencies to counter these criminal manifestations has been analyzed. Various ways of increasing the efficiency of the work of law enforcement agencies are proposed. When analyzing the law enforcement practice, a number of problems were identified related to the proof of crimes of this orientation, namely, insufficient interaction between law enforcement agencies, on the one hand, and financial institutions, telecommunication service providers, on the other hand.Conclusion. The author proposes ways to improve the quality of the verification measures to identify persons involved in the commission of crimes in the field of information technology, as well as to assess the effectiveness of economic security and anti-corruption units of territorial internal affairs bodies in identifying this category of crimes. These measures are not exhaustive; in order to increase the effectiveness of countering cybercriminals, it is necessary to apply a systematic approach aimed not only at improving the quality of the work of law enforcement and investigative agencies, improving the software system and material and technical equipment, but also improving information support of the banking sector, increasing bank response measures, and most importantly, the literacy of the population.
