Abstract: The increasing attention to social innovations in recent years has been caused by the search for alternative ways to solve the problems of the public sector, transformational processes in socio-economic systems taking place under the influence of accelerating technological progress, as well as increased interest and participation of economic agents in solving these problems, including through financial regulation. The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical ideas about the institutional environment of financial regulation of social innovations as a key tool for solving socio-economic problems caused by the increase in external and internal challenges and threats due to the increasing complexity of international relations, the risks of imbalance of the country's financial system, the growth of poverty and social inequality. As a result of the research, the following factors have been identified: factors affecting the stability of the institutional environment of financial regulation of social innovations; specific functions characterizing the institutional environment of financial regulation of social innovations; the main directions of influence of the state as the main subject of the institutional environment of financial regulation of social innovations; the subject-institutional composition of participants in the social innovation process. The effectiveness of social innovations is directly dependent on the development of the relevant institutional environment and the well-functioning mechanism of interaction of the subjects of the socio-innovation process. In this regard, further development and transformation of the institutional environment of financial regulation of social innovations should be aimed at creating conditions for stable functioning and regulation of social innovation activities, involving the widest possible range of stakeholders in it, expanding access to the necessary sources of financial resources.

Abstract: Currently there are many literatures examining the linkage between financial openness and other economic factors in emerging economies. Nevertheless, the accuracy of measurement of financial openness is the prerequisite of evaluating its effects. Different scholars usually construct different indicators that capture different facets of financial openness, hence yielding systematically different regression results. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a comprehensive indicator and measure the financial openness in an all-around way. The innovation of this paper lies in the concept of “financial opening facilitation” that is newly put forwarded by the author. This paper constructs a new sub indicator: financial opening facilitation. Different from previous literatures, this paper argues that although some factors are not directly related to financial opening, they can facilitate the operation of financial institutions and support the flow of international capital, so they also play an important role. The author measures the financial openness in terms of financial account openness, financial institutions openness, financial opening facilitation. This brand-new method can be conducive to the further researchers when they examine the relation between financial openness and domestic economy. Furthermore, China's experience of financial opening can give many revelations to other emerging countries.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the functional contradictions of financial control that have developed between its key systemic goal and organizational forms of practical implementation. Currently, the management and organization of financial control do not correspond to the content of the control function of finance, the generally accepted interpretation of which is the orientation towards optimization of cost proportions of reproduction. In terms of formal all-encompassing systematicity of financial control, the dynamics of these cost proportions is not allocated by the existing organizational schemes, which is particularly evident in the unfolding processes of financialization of the economy. Such functional incompatibility is systemic in nature, and substantiates the need for fundamental changes in the content of financial control, which would ensure the return of finances to their initial control function. The goal of this research lies in outlining the priority vector of transformation of financial control. The results and scientific novelty of this work are presented in interpretation of the new content of financial control through integration with the formation of the fundamentals of digital economy, priority development of such cross-cutting technology as the distributed public registry blockchain. In conclusion, the author justifies the need of turning financial control into the internal immanent component of financial relations on the rigid background technology with automatic collection processes, recovery, analysis and storage of data.

Abstract: This article examines the differences between the two competing in foreign management sectors of scientific and practical activity –records management and information governance – through comparing their definitions, content, and structure. The research is based on the analysis of scientific literature and normative framework, which describe the concept and structure of record management and information governance. The authors explores the factors and stages of the formation of records management and information governance. Special attention is given to the literature review dedicated to information governance, as a developing trend, which is yet lacking the generally accepted definition. The conclusion is made on the absence of fundamental differences between the records management and information governance, which match in their key functions. There is no doubt that the problem of uncontrolled increase in the volume of information is essential for both, foreign and domestic organizations. However, this problem along with attendant problems can be solved by through the traditional scientific-practical discipline of records management; therefore, the formation of a similar discipline seems unreasonable. The conducted research is substantiated by the need to summarize foreign experience in information governance, due to the absence of such works in the domestic management theory, as well as for the development of original approaches towards solution of the problem of expansion of information in the organizations.

Abstract: The concept of tax expenditure is gradually being implemented into the budget process in the Russian Federation, which justifies the relevance of this research. Russia uses the legislative approach towards identification of tax spending, which has a weak theoretical-methodological base. There is currently no precise criterion for allocation of tax expenditures, while the definition formulated by the Article 6 of the Budgetary Code of the Russian Federation further complicates their identification. Thus, there is an objective need for development of more comprehensive approach towards identification of tax expenditures from the theoretical perspective. The study of foreign practice allowed concluding that qualification of the tax norm, as a tax expenditure is a rather debatable question. The novelty and scientific-practical importance of the conducted research consists in the proposed interpretation of tax expenditures and tax incentives, which reflects their main attribute consisting in divergence from the fundamental principles of taxation, and ensures accord with the concepts used in the budgetary legislation. The authors develop an algorithm for identifying tax expenditures, based on solution of the task on determination of adherence of the content of tax norm to the key elements of the mechanism of functionality of a tax incentive.

Abstract: This article analyzes the new concept of international regulatory framework, published by the Basel Committee in 2010, which received the name Basel III. Special attention is given to the content of the new regulatory requirements for bank capital adequacy and its structure; establishment of the protective and countercyclical buffers by the banks; margin to capital for the systemic importance of banks; leverage ratio for preventing dubious transactions with the various financial tools. The article examines the questions of practical implementation of the new requirements of Basil III. The research is structured on the comparative analysis of regulatory documents of the Basel Committee on Baking Supervision and the national standards of central banks of different countries. The scientific novelty lies in identification of the issues emerged in translation of Basel III requirements onto the level of national jurisdictions and the decreasing overall efficiency regulatory reform. The research results demonstrate that the central banks of different countries implement the Basel III regulatory requirements through adjusting the parameters of the tools proposed by Basel III. Conceptually, the instruments do not change; the steps towards fixing the inefficiencies and downsides of the instruments are not taken by the central banks. The introduced additional requirements of capital adequacy do not contain much novelty; therefore, their massive impact upon banks reliability should not be expected. Differentiation of ratios creates a problem of regulatory arbitration. The leverage ratio looks promising, although it is yet to be developed. The author underlines the need for circumstantiation of its calculation methods with regards memorandum items; however, it complicated the calculation formula and contradicts the initial idea of creating the simple to use ratio.

Abstract: The article is devoted to important changes happening on the global financial market. Based on a particular example of financial regulation, the author of the article examines the process of improving the legal basis of the single European financial market. He notes that the common legal framework of the European Union is extended not only extensively but also intensively due to implementation of new kinds of trading in the financial sphere. The author analyzes the main kinds of trading facilities, in partciular, regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities, and organised trading facilities taking into account the second 'Markets in Financial Instruments Directive' (MiFID II) and 'Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation' (MiFIR). In the course of his analysis Kasyanov has used general and special research methods such as analysis and synthesis, generalisation, comparison, historical and systems approaches. In conclusion the author notes that according to MiFID II organised trading kinds being viewed in this article are in fact trading facilities and thus subject to the provisions of MiFID II and MiFIR. New laws and guidelines are supposed to bring regulation of multilateral trading facilities (MTF) to an advanced level and fill in the gap in regulation of organised trading facilities (OTFs).

Abstract: The financial management of Russian enterprises is the object of research. The process of efficiency of industrial enterprises’ financial management under inflationary conditions is the subject of research. Information about the financial status and efficiency of financial management under inflationary conditions is true and accurate if it’s adjusted for inflation. The methodology for assessment of efficiency of industrial enterprises’ financial management under inflationary conditions was described. This technique of estimation allows to separate the inflationary component from financial statements by using the price deflators taking into consideration the branch and regional special aspects of a particular enterprise. The methods of empirical research include observation, description, comparison; methods of theoretical research are the method of abstracting; and general logical methods are analysis, synthesis, etc. The scientific novelty is that written methodology includes the computation algorithm of separating the inflationary component. Financial indicators «cleaned» from inflation will be the basis for making rational investment and management decisions.

Abstract: Significant harm to the economy of modern states is caused by the legalization of proceeds from crime. The experience of foreign countries allows us to make recommendations for improving the system of counteraction to these criminal acts in our country. The paper considers the process of developing legislation to combat the legalization of proceeds from crime in the United States and Great Britain. Particular attention is paid to current data submitted by state authorities, for example, the United States Sentencing Commission, which allow us to make timely and valid conclusions about the effectiveness of combating crime in this area. The paper presents an analysis of the activities of the National Financial Intelligence Unit of the United States - the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the practice of applying the federal law "Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act". In the course of the study, the authors analyzed the activities of the British government - HM Treasury, National Crime Agency, the legal basis for combating legalization based on the Proceeds of Crime Act, and Money Laundering Regulations. Based on the data obtained, the authors draw attention to the fact that law enforcement agencies of Great Britain operate at national, regional and local levels, which increases the effectiveness of the fight against legalization. Particular attention was paid to the Joint Money Laundering Taskforce / JMLIT created in 2015 and already well-proven. During the research, the authors used historical, logical, statistical, systemic and prognostic research methods. The main conclusion of the study was a reasoned opinion on the possibility of wider use of the experience of the United States and Great Britain in countering the legalization of proceeds from crime. At the same time, the authors draw attention to the need to take into account the specifics of the development of the Russian Federation and to refrain from blind implementation of the norms of law.
