The methodological basis for the article was formed by the current achievements of the theory of knowledge. In the course of his research Safonenkov has used theoretical, general philosophical methods (dialectic, systems approach, analysis, synthesis, observation), traditional legal methods (formal logical), and others. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author carries out a theoretical analysis of administrative methods of persuasion and coercion as methods of public administration in conjunction with each other. The author concludes that the methodology of public administration is a system of methods (principles, methods, techniques and tools) used by authorized bodies of public administration to organise their activities, including administrative persuasion and administrative coercion. Administrative persuasion is a system of methods that is carried out by authorized authorities and implies explanatory, educational, and incentive measures with the aim of making management entities to understand the need to comply with the legislation. The belief acts primarily on the consciousness of management entities. Administrative coercion is a way to influence the will of management entities involving the application of administrative penalties for past violations, and a variety of actions (measures) that are not related to administrative offences.

Abstract: Developing and using public finances have required special control of the government throughout the history. Starting from the early Islamic period and up to the present, there have been special control authorities in the sphere of public financies of the Arab World countries. The main purpose of these authorities is to defend the treasury of the state. The main difference between the Oriental financial control model and the Western one is that the Oriental system mainly follows the principle of social justice when creating and using public finances and that there is a clear distinction between state treasury funds and Ummah funds, each of them having their own revenues and expenses. The research is based on both Sharia provisions and theoretical findings of Medieval and modern scientists, specialists in the sphere of Muslim and financial laws and modern financial laws and regulations of the Arab World countries. This research is the first work to conduct an integral analysis of the financial control institution in the Arab World from the point of view of history. The results of the analysis allow to conclude that the financial control institution of the Arab World countries is the symbiosis between Muslim tradition and recent discoveries of the Western law.
