One of the most important elements of the management system of an educational institution is the accounting of income and expenses for educational programs (OP) and the calculation of the cost of educational and other services. Modern educational institutions are tasked with improving the quality of educational services and increasing their effectiveness. To solve it, the boundaries of their financial and economic independence are expanded. Currently, universities are changing their form of ownership and can be non-profit societies. The change in the system of financing universities involves the development of new mechanisms for managing an educational institution. In these conditions, it becomes inevitable to create and master new accounting systems in educational institutions, which are aimed at ensuring the tasks of effective management of the university. First of all, this applies to the management accounting system. The cost of services rendered is the sum of the university's expenses in monetary form for the implementation of educational and other services. Expanding the financial independence of universities involves the formation of reliable information about the income and expenses of the university in order to manage them. The purpose of this study is to identify the problems of accounting for income and expenses in educational institutions. The implementation of the research goal is facilitated by the use of methods of comparative analysis, synthesis, and graphical method for visualizing the results obtained. The development of the system of management accounting of income and expenses in educational institutions is focused on the formation of an effective system of information and analytical support, which involves the development of methods for accounting of income and expenses, the organization of the system of internal control of income and expenses, determining the features of management reporting of income and expenses. A methodology for income accounting has been developed that reflects the specifics of the activities of educational institutions, combines the calculation of the main income indicators, their reflection on accounts and in the registers of management accounting, and allows you to form the actual indicators of income and expenses. The optimal method of management accounting of expenses is justified, within the framework of which the classification features of the grouping of expenses are proposed, the order of consolidated accounting and the formation of management accounting registers is determined. The method of accounting for expenses will allow you to specify the directions of expenses in the context of activities, sources of funding, structural divisions, individual programs and activities.

Uncovering the hidden costs by evaluating ecological costs

This study aims to calculate the environmental costs of a sugar cane producer. Worsening environmental problems have required the company to implement environmental management practices. Nevertheless, the results of these environmental management practices need to be evaluated by comparing its ecological costs (eco-costs) as the external costs with costs allocated by the company to manage the environment. Accordingly, this study employs the case study at a cane sugar producing company located in Yogyakarta Specific Region Province. Furthermore, we combine two environmental cost calculation methods, namely the Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods. The EMA approach seeks to identify prevention and compensation costs. Meanwhile, the LCA approach is used to calculate eco-costs. We convert the eco-cost values based on the values from the table of ecological cost values at www.ecocostsvalue.com. The results of this study show that the company incur environmental impact costs much greater than its prevention and compensation costs. These findings indicate that the company has not incorporated hidden environmental costs in its environmental management.

Comprehensive сlassification of virtual assets

Background: One of the problems of the modern lawmakers in different countries is that they try to regulate an object before they study the nature of its origin, which, logically, entails many errors regarding its definition in the legal framework. The absence of unified definitions and clear classification of virtual assets as tools for implementing the methods of financial and management accounting of property according to their fundamental and unique features makes it nearly impossible to determine the features of virtual assets important for legal regulation and, therefore, to enshrine them in laws and establish a proper legal framework. The paper is dedicated to solving a relevant and cross-discipline scientific and applied task of developing a comprehensive multilevel classification of virtual assets. Unlike the few existing classifications that focus on parts of the virtual asset phenomenon and selective methods of its implementation, the paper proposes an all-encompassing comparison of all known types of virtual assets, which confirms the comprehensiveness of the classification proposed in this paper. Purpose: To develop and substantiate a comprehensive and multilevel classification of known types of virtual assets, which allows solving the cross-discipline scientific and applied task of systematizing virtual assets for future development of a single approach to regulating relations, the objects of which are different types of virtual assets. Materials and Methods: In order to study the nature of virtual assets and develop a comprehensive classification, a set of scientific research methods has been used: analysis, including cause and effect analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, systematization and interpretation of results and induction. Results: The author describes a triune nature of virtual assets: technological, economic and legal, information and applied. This classification of virtual assets will allow determining promising tools for accounting of property and rights. Unlike other known approaches to differentiating virtual assets, where crypto-assets (or cryptocurrencies) were unjustified “leaders”, the author has distinguished the group of tokenized assets for the first time. This particular group, due to its direct relation to property, allows performing accounting as well as reaccounting of property and rights in modern digital accounting systems – decentralized information platforms based on the distributed ledger technology (blockchain), whereas this accounting cannot be performed using crypto-assets due to absence of direct relation to property. Out of virtual assets, the author distinguishes a digital asset and analyzes the semantic features of the term “digital asset”. The digital asset is based on a unique information resource as the original asset and on the property of derivativeness from the real asset, which greatly differentiates it from other types of virtual assets. All of that allows considering it as an effective tool for implementing the methods of financial and management accounting of property. Thus, owners of digital assets can use the new way of accounting of their property and personal non-property rights. Based on the properties of a digital asset, the author distinguishes other types of virtual assets: polyasset and monoasset, with the relevant examples. The author provides the characteristics of their features and structural components while comparing them to the features of digital assets and giving clear and well-known financial and legal analogies regarding the implementation of mutual obligations between parties to a traditional deal. The paper also contains the first systematization of seven properties and parameters of a tokenized asset and, therefore, description of properties of three variations of a tokenized asset: monoasset, polyasset and digital asset. This allowed presenting the varieties of virtual assets as a three-level classification based on the complexity of the nature of virtual assets. The author’s classification distinguishes seven types of virtual assets and contains their description. Conclusions: Overall, the proposed approach to classification allows giving a scientific answer to the question of how to compare the multitude of known virtual assets and how to relate them to the legal framework of a state. These developments will be useful for legislators in basically every country, financial, tax and banking state bodies, as well as private companies when keeping books and performing accounting of virtual assets in their business activity.

The expediency of developing strategic management accounting based on the use of a balanced scorecard has been substantiated. The purpose of the article is to identify areas of development of the strategic management accounting system based on the use of a balanced scorecard, as well as obstacles to its effective functioning. The necessity of introducing the position of a strategic management accountant in the conditions of using a balanced scorecard at enterprises has been substantiated. The main differences between a strategic management accountant and a traditional management accountant have been identified. In order to overcome the crisis in the management accounting system, it has been proposed to expand the subject area of the classical management accounting system in order to meet the needs of strategic management of the enterprise. The possibilities of the balanced scorecard to provide comprehensive control and interactive management of the strategic development of the enterprise have been analyzed. The directions for the development of strategic management accounting based on the use of a balanced scorecard have been developed (development of organizational structure for building strategic management accounting system; distinguishing between the functions of strategic management accountants and strategic managers; empirical analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of a balanced scorecard as an accounting tool). Organizational and methodological obstacles that prevent the introduction of a balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting are identified and systematized into three groups. The job functions and strategic tasks of a strategic management accountant have been formed, which will combine traditional accounting functions for the collection and processing of strategic accounting information with analytical, control and communication functions. Organizational and methodological barriers to the smooth implementation of a balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting in the practice of Ukrainian enterprises have been identified and analyzed (associated with improper performance of strategic management functions; associated with improper performance of their functions by strategic accountants; related to the economic and communication problems of the functioning of a balanced scorecard as an accounting tool).

The practical application of the developed proposals will allow to form an effective information system that will help the leadership of different levels of management to obtain the necessary data for decision-making in a timely manner.

ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ ПОДАТКОВИХ ПРІОРИТЕТІВ В УПРАВЛІНСЬКОМУ ОБЛІКУ

In the process of studying the methodological approaches used in assessing the tax burden, it was concluded that it is advisable to use a comprehensive assessment of tax costs in their relationship with tax-dependent places of expenditure, cost centers and responsibilities that cause tax liabilities, and this allows us to expand the cognitive value of the analysis of the profitability of different species. The lack of direct interdependence of the tax burden of enterprises as economic entities with the objects of management accounting in the accounting system leads to the inability to analyze the level and optimize the amount of tax expenditures. In this regard, the identification and justification of the principles of selection in the management accounting of objects of responsibility for tax costs that arise, allows to increase the informativeness of management accounting for these costs and establish the relationship between specific taxes and centers of responsibility for tax base formation. The article highlights the peculiarities of the formation of information on tax expenditures, which make it possible to model the accounting mechanism for the tax burden in the management accounting system. Selected accounting and analytical indicators that directly or indirectly affect the amount of tax payments and are interrelated with the functional responsibility of managers at different levels. The peculiarities of the distribution of tax expenses between the objects of management accounting are revealed, in which each of the objects of management is the object of accounting and assumes part of the tax cost. A typical mechanism for obtaining accounting data for managing tax expenditures from financial accounting data using accounting methods is considered. The study of management accounting methods in relation to the tax burden of the enterprise has influenced the search for new forms of evaluation of the results of accounting for tax expenditures in order to apply them in the analysis of tax costs. The existence of interrelation between accounting entries, which reflect the accrual of taxes in financial accounting, with the analytical features of management tax accounting. As a result of the use of accounts and double entry, the information resource obtained on the basis of primary documents is sent to an independent system of administrative accounts.

MODERN TOOLS FOR MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND THEIR ROLE IN ENSURING THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE ENTERPRISE

The purpose of the paper is to determine the role of modern effective tools for management accounting in the context of increasing the total value of the enterprise. The article deals with the basic tools of management accounting and details the essence of their transformation in modern conditions. Current market conditions require modification of individual management accounting tools and methods, which are described in detail and substantiated in the article. In Ukraine, the value of management accounting remains undervalued, because, unlike the major international accounting systems, the use of management accounts in correspondence with financial accounts is in no way intended. Management accounting as such is at the discretion of the enterprise. Therefore, this function - meeting the specific management information needs - is often entrusted with analytical accounting data which, by its very nature, cannot fully accomplish such tasks. The author specifies some atypical modern tools not only the management accounting process, but also its support. Business value estimation is presented as a kind of management accounting tool that allows, at the same time, to create reputation capital, and to become an element of it. As a result, the system of the newest management accounting tools in the system of value-based management was improved by determining the essence of transformation of its components, which allowed to establish their role in identifying and counteracting factors of negative influence in terms of growth of enterprise value. The research substantiates the role of each single up-to-date management accounting tool (application of modern e-document flow in management accounting, cost-oriented controlling, actuarial calculations, international accounts, electronic forms of analysis, forecasting and mathematical modelling, reporting forms and their dissemination by modern means of communication) in identifying and eliminating problematic factors to the implementation of value-based management.
