Legal basis of personal data protection in Ukraine and Germany: organizational and managerial aspect

The author emphasizes that the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is effective. It applies directly to all member states of the European Union. However, there are exceptions where member states can also adopt their own rules for certain areas. German lawmakers have used these introductory provisions in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and adapted national data protection laws in accordance with the GDPR so that they can continue to exist.
 The system of federal data protection authorities in Germany is more complex than in other EU countries. In practice, this sometimes creates problems and indirectly becomes a competitive disadvantage for German companies. Although the introduction of the GDPR helped harmonize data protection rules across member states, regional differences still exist in Germany. Nevertheless, various instruments ensure better coordination between the data protection authorities of the individual federal states at the national level, as well as between the authorities in different EU member states at the European level, compared to the time before the GDPR came into force.

The Managerial Aspect of Accounting ESG Factors in Assessing the Value of a Company

The subject of the study is ESG factors (Environment, Social, Government) and their inclusion in the value of Russian companies. The purpose of the paper is to reveal the theoretical and methodological aspects of taking into account ESG factors when assessing the value of companies. The relevance of the study is determined by the influence of the ESG rating of companies on changes in their value. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of a general scheme, which includes four stages: substantiation of key external and internal factors influencing ESG-assessments of the company’s value; analysis of the nature of the impact of key factors on ESG assessments; assessment of the impact of the ESG-factor on the elements of value creation (forecast period, discount factor, cash flows, post-forecast growth rates); building a financial model for assessing the value of companies taking into account ESG factors. Methods: general scientific methods (comparative analysis, generalization, formalization) and empirical (observation, comparison, modeling). The DCF (discounted cash flow) approach was proposed as the main method for assessing the value of a company, which allows not only to estimate the value of a company over a specific period of time, but also acts as a cost management tool. An analysis of scientific and theoretical points of view and methodological approaches to assessing the influence of ESG factors on the value of companies was carried out, significant factors influencing the ESG assessment of the company’s value were identified, and a financial model for assessing the value of the company taking into account ESG factors was proposed. The model for assessing the impact of ESG on cash flow generation elements was tested using the example of PJSC Polymetal. It is concluded that the ESG assessment of a company’s value is influenced by both external factors (international regulation, country specifics, industry specifics) and internal ones (specifics of the capital structure, specifics of production). The developed financial model for assessing the value of a company makes it possible to take into account ESG factors in the output forms of reporting: balance sheet, profit and loss statement, cash flow statement. The proposed model is addressed to top managers of the company for the purpose of using it in the process of assessing the degree of influence of ESG factors on the cost of equity capital, potential investors and appraisers.

On defining the concept of clusters as an integrated structure in the production sphere of activity

The economic space requires a continuous response to various processes taking place on the territory of the country. Various processes in macro and microeconomics, the subsequent pandemic have demonstrated the effectiveness of large integrated structures capable of maintaining profitability in the market and increasing the scope of their interests. Clusters, due to their applicability and effectiveness in various fields of activity, have demonstrated their effectiveness, thanks to which these structures are widespread and applicable all over the world. It is established that the definition of «cluster» in the Russian economy does not have a single definition standard, which greatly complicates the formation of this integrated structure. The question of the study is whether the definition of a cluster structure is able to solve the prospects for applying this definition in the Russian economy. In this paper, a hypothesis is also put forward about the ability to define the definition of «cluster». The scientific hypothesis of this study suggests that the definition of a cluster will provide an opportunity to accurately define this definition, which will contribute to its popularization and development in the country's economy. Within the framework of this question, the purpose of the study is formed – ​the study of literary sources to establish a standard for the definition of an integrated association of enterprises. The methodological basis was the works of foreign and Russian scientists on the topic under study. In the course of the study, the author found that the category «cluster» has received many interpretations and modifications over its history of development. Based on the studied data, it was concluded that the cluster has common characteristic features, however, in these interpretations, the main, in our opinion, managerial aspect of the formation of an integrated structure is missing, which makes it necessary to approve a new definition – ​«cluster structure». The resulting category can be used to form a new stage in the creation of integrated associations and the development of a strategy for the development of cluster structures of the Russian economy.

The Neglected Focus on Managerial Aspect of Transfer Pricing Policy in Multidivisional Companies—Case of Serbia

Prices applied to internal transactions between the business segments or divisions of a company in transactions between related entities within a group (transfer pricing) can have a significant impact on a company’s competitive advantage. Transfer pricing policy influences the profits of operating segments, resource allocation and the need for segment reporting. The two main approaches to transfer pricing are the tax and managerial approaches. The aim of this research was to test whether multidivisional companies operating in Serbia give more importance to the tax or the managerial aspect of transfer pricing policy. Another research aim was to determine whether segment reporting is more developed in companies in Serbia that have the legal obligation to prepare consolidated financial statements. Both research hypotheses were confirmed using the questionnaire method on a final sample of 52 large and medium-sized companies (out of 1912 large and medium-sized companies operating in Serbia). First, our findings show that tax compliance is more dominant in transfer pricing than the managerial perspective in the Serbian companies analyzed. Second, we found that mandatory consolidated financial reporting and related segment reporting can influence the managerial approach to transfer pricing in Serbian multidivisional companies and groups. Other factors (production orientation of companies, developed responsibility accounting and managers’ bonuses, for example) also encourage this approach.
