The purpose of the study is to improve the methodology for auditing the effectiveness of national projects through the use of standard audit elements. The tasks of developing and supplementing approaches to the standardization of the audit of the effectiveness of national projects were set and solved, in particular, a strategy, program, checklist and risk assessment were proposed as the basis of the audit methodology using the example of the national project “Housing and Urban Environment”. The methodological basis of the research is the system and process approaches to the problem under study. In the course of the research, general scientific methods of logical analysis and synthesis were used, in particular, analogies, typologies, generalizations. Based on the study of extensive empirical material, the results of the implementation of national projects, their financing and the possibility of making changes and adjustments to them are investigated. As a result, it was concluded that the Project Passports included insufficiently justified and resourced values of target indicators, and the values of indicators set by regions were not supported by sufficient organizational measures. In addition, regulatory and methodological documents do not include full-fledged methodological support for their development and implementation, being limited to general approaches and principles. Also, the parameters of the mutual influence of the national project “Housing and urban environment” on other national projects are not specified in the Passport of the national project and in other regulatory and methodological documents, and therefore it is not possible to fully assess the quality of such influence. The practical significance of the article is that the conclusions obtained on the basis of the proposed elements of the methodology for auditing the effectiveness of national projects, in particular, the procedure for drawing up a strategy, audit program, checklist and audit risk assessment, will allow us to develop optimal positions in the regulation and determination of financing of national projects.
