Subject of research is fiscal decentralization. The goal of this research paper is the analysis of the dynamics and status of fiscal decentralization. Methods which were used in course of research: generalization, comparative analysis method, statistical method and other methods. Study results. Characterized and analyzed Application of results: Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Conclusions. Decentralization in terms of expansion of powers at the local level leads to high efficiency of public administration at the lowest level, and to improve the efficiency and quality of public services. But the significant transfer of powers and functions from state to local levels without adequate financial security can lead to negative financial results. It is therefore particularly important is finding the optimum between the volume of granted powers, and their support by adequate financial resources.

This publication belongs to case category. The main task of the research is to formulate methods and algorithms of financial analysis and teaching process management at the university. It suggests designing financial mathematical model of budget financing for university structural units on the basis of teaching and financial plans of teaching programs. This model is based on per capita financing of educational institutions acting upon state order. The authors of the article have already designed and presented practical implementation of original algorithms for forming salary funds for lecturers from the chairs. The article presents the main principles of the model analyzing main outcomes of its implementation and formulates possible challenges and ways of solving then. There has been a significant economic effect of introducing the model, absence of legal limitations for its implementation, perspectives of its development in the field of prognosticating university structural units’ financial position, implementing effective contracts, network form of training and individual educational trajectories. Developed method of budgeting for structural units can be used at any university on the basis of curricula analysis and making teaching and financial plans. Its implementation eliminates discrepancies between principles of business support of educational activities in general and its individual structures (chairs); creates an opportunity for calculating the costs of curriculum modules and components; improves efficacy of teaching process organization; formation of financial mechanism for implementing individual educational trajectories by the students and network forms of training, basic chairs functioning, decentralization of financial and economic management and creation of prerequisites for acknowledging a chair as the center of financial responsibility. The model is original and is in fact a natural continuation of per capita financing of university educational activities.
The article highlights the essence of budgetary control. The features of control in the public sector performance are grounded as well as the relationship between verifiability and the controllability. It is proved that the achievement of public finance management needs its controllability. There is no alternative verifiability by ensuring controllability of budget resources. The classification criteria of budgetary control types according to the different classification criteria are developed. It has allowed to distinguish its following types: scheduled, unscheduled, previous, current, next, state, municipal, specialized, departmental, public, external, internal, solid, selective, comprehensive, effective, ineffective, centralized, decentralized, legislative, realizable, further, active, passive, available, projected, intermediate, final, mixed. The purpose of the article is to provide a classification criteria of budgetary control development, taking into account the role and functions of control in public finance management. The subject of the study is a set of financial relationships arising during the budgetary control due to appropriation of financial resources. Methodology. The following methods have been used in the process of writing: cognition, induction, deduction, analysis and synthesis. Results of the survey. Thus, the main directions of budgetary control implementation we can consider the following ones: monitoring compliance with procedures for preparation, review and approval of state and local budgets; the implementation of revenue and expenditure of the budget at the national and local levels control; detection of theft of public funds, as well as their misuse; accuracy of accounting control; increasing the revenue base of the state budget detection; preventive measures to combat corruption and bribery in the public sector. The author’s approach to classification criteria of budgetary control types, unlike existing ones considers budgetary control as a complex in all its manifestations. It allows implementing budgetary control in full and at all stages of the budget process. It will significantly increase its efficiency and effectiveness. Value/originality is specified in the following items. Classification of budgetary control, which differs from previous approaches in more detail and grouping features has been improved according to: the degree of planning and subordination:, control entities, stages of implementation, level of activity, time direction, nature of action, implementation and assessment according to the timing, forms of implementation, the scope that makes more effective budgetary financial management control.

The paper studies issues of strengthening the financial basis of regional development as a component of economic security policy and one of the most important areas of administrative decentralization in Ukraine. Main problems of regional development financing identified, ineffectiveness of inter-budget relations proved and the obstacles for accumulation of financial resources of local communities determined. It has been shown that main consequence of regional financial “weakness” was the inability to concentrate resources for prior investment projects and activities of regional development. The measures for strengthening of the financial security of regions in the context of regional policy objectives and according to the announced decentralization and fiscal reforms in regions offered. It is proved that for strengthening the financial base of support for regional development and ensuring self-sufficiency of territorial communities, in terms of the objectives of the new regional policy, it is necessary: to gradually expand the list of instruments used by local authorities to increase the amount of cool tools; disseminate program-target method of compilation and execution of local budgets with the aim of increasing transparency and efficiency of use of budgetary funds; to organize intergovernmental relations, to increase the share of targeted funding, to ensure the formation of horizontal intergovernmental relations; to provide for the expansion of the revenue base of local budgets, transfer of shares separate national taxes, the search for extra-budgetary financial resources.

The article presents some recommendations to solve the problems connected with the decentralization of fi nancial resources of Ukrainian local budgets)
The financial decentralization is an essential component part for the political, administrative and economic decentralization process, with major involvement on the economic and social system in Romania. Although the authorities of the local public administration in Romania were authorised to ensure the local communities the services provided by law and even to involve in the economic-social development of the towns and communes, in fact they have never had enough financial sources from the state budget or from the local budgets. The local budgets represent the planning and management tools of the financial activity of the territorial-administrative units. Their structure reflects the autonomy level of the local administration towards the central level and the links existing between the different territorial administrations. Also, the local budgets reflect the flows of incomes formation and the expenses of the local administrations, the method of financing the expenses on destinations and the deficits covering. The local authorities must access external aid programs, in order to be able to achieve the investigation works related to the commune infrastructure, due to the fact that the local incomes are insufficient to achieve investigations works from their own sources. In this context, the present paper proposes to highlight the characteristics of the budget process within the local public administration in the rural sector area.

Reforming the public health system is a complex and long process, involving different categories of people. To accelerate the process of integration into the European Union, Romania is currently implementing strategies and programs aimed to increase the quality of public services. In the medical field a series of measures have been undertaken aimed at accelerating the decentralization process and optimize the activities of medical institutions. During the transition period a series of measures have been taken to decentralization and privatization of health services. However, currently we are witnessing a fragmentation of the system, which stressed the inequality in the distribution of medical personnel and reduced people's access to certain types of medical services. Please note that the number of doctors per capita in rural areas is only 20% of the urban area. Another major shortcoming of the system is linked to the financing system and its correlation with the strategies of decentralization. Frequently, decentralization has emerged as a way of placing the central tasks in the task of local government. Using panel data from developing regions we highlight a number of implications of the decentralization process.

The aim of the paper is to conduct a research on an impact of blockchain technology platform on the financial sector through cryptocurrency, and an impact on other industries.. The subject of research is not only this technology but also its commercial exploitation. In order to understand the platform, the starting point of this research is an analysis of how the technology functions, after that the advantages for business and economic transaction are identified, and finally the paper deals with an impact of new technology on business, above all on financial operations. The basic hypothesis is that blockchain has achieved a great impact on financial sector, also it has the potential to radically change only the financial sector but also the way we buy and sell, our interaction with the authorities as a way of verifying the ownership from the authorship and the organic food production. Using the available data and synthesis of knowledge from the fields of technology, economics, finance, and politics, 4 scenarios were set up for the future of underlying technology. The scenario approach combined with trend analysis in order to prove the starting hypothesis with high reliability. The research results show that the technology being investigated already has a profound impact on the financial sector, that it is in the initial phase of changing many industries, with the likelihood that they will change them significantly in the next five to ten years. Businesses increasingly discover the power of this technology to exploit the benefits of the Fourth Technological Revolution.
(1) As it is shown in the answering rate itself, concern of top management on the rationalization of business finance is very sincere. (2) As for depreciation system, contraction of depreciation terms and general or partial widening of the rooms for arbitrary depreciation are earnestly desired. (3) Corporate tax has been intensely criticized, and opinion of the majority takes its revision as a premise for financial rationalization. (4) Regarding budget system, opinion of the majority asserts concentrative management, but not a few recognize the necessity of decentralized system. (5) Upon internal audit and concept of cost, a fundamental shift from the traditional idea is fairly evident.
