Abstract: The article is devoted to comparative analysis of reinbursement systems used by the foreign states to compensate for injury. The aim of the research is to find promising areas for developing Russian laws, judicial practice and doctrine by using the experience of the foreign states. The subject of the research is the legislation and judicial practice as well as legal doctrines of Italy, Germany and Great Britain. The author uses the experience of the foreign states that have developed different approaches to defining the volume and nature of injury reimbursement. The methodological basis of the research is general philosophical (materialistic and dialectical), general research (logical, structured systemic, axeological), specific scientific (hermeneutical analysis and strategic assessment method) and special research methods (structural legal, comparative legal and formal legal methods). The author demonstrates that despite differences in their laws, Italy, Germany and Great Britain determine the size of income lost based on a combination factors and quite often do not require the proof of actual loss, neither they demand that an individual is deprived of a right for free health care. Thus, the 'non-material loss' doctrine is not limited to evaluation of moral and physical suffering of an individual but is aimed at returning an individual to the position he or she was in before the right was violated. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author describes prospects for improving Russian law and legal practice including a shift away from a traditional definition of non-material harm viewed mostly as moral suffering resulting from injury; substantiation of the need in integral assessment of lost capabilities and increased physical needs as a result of injury; refusal from the criterion 'no right for free health care' and adoption of the criterion of reasonable loss based on integral assessment of injury consequences.

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.

Abstract: The subject of the article is social relations that form in the process of carrying out financial control in Russia and other countries. The article analyzes the definition, types and functions of financial control in Russia, provides classification of institutions of financial control and examines the experience of legal regulation of the government’s fiscal control in several countries, e.g. in Germany and the US. The author analyzes the peculiarities of organization of systems of financial control in the above-mentioned countries. The methodological basis of the study is the general scientific method of dialectical cognition, the method of comparing legal systems, the formal logical method and the logical methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction. The author’s study allowed him to make the following conclusions: The legal regulation of financial control is determined by the form of the state structure. Thus, in federal states, two parallel systems of government control form – federal and regional, while regional institutions of government control are independent from the nationwide agencies of control from the point of view of their organization and functions. Besides, in Germany and the US, special attention is being paid to public control. In these countries, reports from individuals about illegal actions of the authorities like excessive use of budget funds are an effective measure that enables to prevent or terminate abusive actions of parties in financial legal relations.
