Activity-based budgeting (ABB) and project-based budgeting (project budgeting) are important trends of budgeting at an enterprise level. The paper authors have systematized factors of formation for directions of the activity-based and project-based budgeting, have characterized these directions’ budget models and revealed their specific features. The main specific features of activity-based budgeting model are the matrix (or more complex, multidimensional) structure of the budget model, interrelation of business processes’ budget items with key performance indicators and balanced scorecards (thus the model focused on strategy), simultaneous incorporation of financial indicators describing a business process into the budgets of business processes, budgets of CFR (Centers for Financial Responsibility) units, or project budgets, and a number of other specific features. The most important particulars of the project-based budgeting model is the integration of master budgets, operational and support budgets with project budgets within a budget model, the use of project budgets as a link between project management and budgeting as a management technology, and others particulars. The paper authors have developed a tool for the ABB budget model formation, which includes two algorithms. The first one is the algorithm for ABB model formation based on the budgets of CFR acting as expense providers, from the perspective of CFR units. The algorithm relies on the budgets of expense-providing Centers for Financial Responsibility. These Centers control the expenses of all CFR by certain business processes and items. The second one is the algorithm for the more detailed ABB model formation based on the budgets of business processes that are structured for analytical purposes (other than CFR units). This algorithm is intended for building a more detailed ABB model and implies the allocation of analytical sections like “CFR”, “Business Processes” and other analytics. It has been proposed to use a standard project budget a as a tool to solve the problem of matching the individual projects implementation time with the budget period. The standard budget is developed for the project’s entire life, in conjunction with the Project Budget, the indicators of which describe the project in a certain budget period.
Ukraine is on the way budget relationships reform realization, one of which tasks is adaptation of current legislation to EU legislation in order to create European conditions of development in country and in budget system particularly. Budget control is the type of state finance control, integrated and telic system of economic and legal measures of authorized control subjects, aimed on providing of eligibility and effectiveness of budget process parties while drafting, reviewing, adoption of budgets, fulfillment, amending, considering reports on budgets' fulfillment, which compose the budget system of Ukraine. From that point of view the title of Chapter 17 of Budget Code of Ukraine (hereinafter BCU) "Control on maintenance of budget legislation" means not the essence of state finance control but its aim. The powers of controlling subjects which are established by this chapter have mostly duplicative character while current Chapter 5 of BCU determines types of budget legislation violations and means of influence for such violations still contains inaccuracies and gaps in expression of legal norms concerning budget control. Lack of budget control principles implementation on the regulatory level causes commitment of budget violation. On Accounting Chamber reports while fulfilling the controlling measures concerning the effectiveness of budget funds usage for ensuring activities and performing powers of public authorities more than 23 million UAH have been identified as used with violation of the requirements of the current legislation, and almost 313 million UAH were used inefficiently According to the calculations, the state budget short received income of almost 0.6 million UAH and also 10.3 million UAH were transferred to budgets exceeding the established deadlines/ Thus, the system of budgetary control requires improvement by defining a modern concept of its organization and implementing appropriate amendments to the current legislation. With this aim the authors have studied international experience, which shows the necessity of integrating new contemporary concept of budgetary control, which should be oriented to preliminary and current budgetary control.
The formation of UTC budgets requires not only the improvement of the structure of tax revenues, as well as the analysis of revenues, but currently the use of intergovernmental transfers as important additional revenues of UTC budgets in modern research is the subject of discussion. The budgetary and legal relations which are formed at the level of formation of budgets of the united territorial communities are investigated, and the financial and legal bases of formation of capable budgets are defined. Examples of scientific research on various aspects of local finance as factors influencing the formation, distribution and use of national budget funds, as a legal institution and as a basis for comparative characteristics of domestic and foreign practice of local budgeting, etc. are considered. The main problems that arise in the way of optimizing the revenue policy of local budgets of the united territorial communities in the conditions of financial decentralization are described. The set of tasks on which the provision of financial capacity of the territorial community depends is analyzed. The main steps that the state must take to implement the budget decentralization reform effectively are identified. It is stated that during the formation of a promising united territorial community it is important to calculate its financial capacity in advance, which will allow to assess the benefits and risks of such association, determine the need for additional funds and streamlining expenditures, and to envisage its further functioning for the purpose of its socio-economic development. The concept of "UTC budget" and the essence of the concept of "capable budget" are specified. Based on the historical experience of budget relations in Ukraine and foreign experience, the need to form viable budgets at the expense of alternative revenues , namely by providing UTC rights to establish indirect taxes, regulate benefits and tax rates, income from business activities, and the use of intergovernmental transfers in the required amounts and for specific purposes is proved. Philosophical, general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition are used, and also formation of the balanced and substantiated income and expense parts of budgets in the volume sufficient for performance of the set tasks is found out. The legal bases for formation of the revenue part of the budget at the expense of both tax and non-tax revenues and financing of certain types of expenditures are analyzed. Proposals for improving the financial legislation regarding the terminology and essence of budget activities are substantiated.
