Abstract

The importance of a company’s financial potential lies in the fact that it should be considered as a hidden internal reserve. Financial resources are a reserve created by the financial system of the enterprise and providing inertia of selfdevelopment, self-preservation and development of stability of the financial system of the enterprise. The research is based on the analysis and evaluation of specialized literature and scientific publications on financial indicators of economic activity and their role in assessing the effectiveness of the enterprise. The financial stability of the company means that the financial flows of the company are stable and that the company has money to support the business for a certain period of time, as well as to cover loans and losses available for the production of the company’s products and services The indicators of the effective activity of the company and its solvency are important. Various methods were used to analyze the process under consideration: the assessment of financial potential, including methods of analysis of financial indicators and the dynamics of their changes. Traditional and mathematical methods of financial assessment, including comparison, clustering and methods of application of absolute, average and relative indicators, as well as methods of generalization and clustering of financial indicators of the company using analytical tables. The results will be presented to enterprises and analysts to assess the financial condition of the company as an aid to making effective management decisions aimed at increasing competitiveness and achieving target industry positions

Abstract

The global crisis and the global coronavirus pandemic have had a significant impact on the performance of the restaurant and hotel business. The volume of sales turnover has significantly decreased. The second quarter of 2020 was marked by a record collapse in the turnover of restaurants – by 49.7% [1, 2, 3]. The same trend is observed in Kazakhstan and Ukraine. For almost a year, many hotel and restaurant buildings have been empty. A significant part of them are re-profiled as trading enterprises with food products, rented out or, more often, put up for sale. The widespread sale of objects of long-term assets requires their specific accounting reflection and a real assessment of long-term assets intended for sale; as well as the development of sections of the accounting policy dedicated to new, modern transactions for the sale and purchase of a business or part of a business. Accounting for such transactions requires the methodologically correct application of IFRS No. 5 “Long-term assets held for sale and discontinued operations” [4], which was previously rarely used, and often not used at all. For many years, the authors have been dealing with the problems of developing accounting and tax policies for various accounting items with the application of IFRS. While writing the article, the authors, relying on their scientific and practical experience and knowledge, determined the purpose – to offer recommendations and accounting records of transactions of sale of long-term assets, part of the business or the whole segment of the business, prepared for sale, for inclusion in a special section of the accounting company of the selling company. The article uses both general scientific research methods and special research methods. The specifics of the article and the range of interests of the authors are designed for accountants and teachers of universities in Russian-speaking countries and CIS republics, where IFRS are applied.

Abstract

Reinsurance is important for ensuring the financial stability of the country’s insurance market, which determines the need for sufficiently strict legal control over this segment of the insurance market. The purpose of this article is a critical understanding of modern legislation governing the development of reinsurance activities in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the identification of those norms and requirements that significantly affect the development of the reinsurance market in the country. The results of the study showed that restrictive reinsurance measures, tested by world insurance practice, are applied in the country. The author made an attempt to identify the specifics of regulatory norms in the Republic of Kazakhstan, which impede cooperation in the field of reinsurance with the international community. Attention is drawn to the established high entry barriers for the participation of non-resident reinsurers in the reinsurance market of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which involves the purchase of reinsurance coverage mainly from leading foreign reinsurers. In order to expand the reinsurance capacity and reduce the cost of reinsurance, the author proposes to use the internal reserves of the national insurance market, as well as alternative reinsurance markets, one of which can be considered a single reinsurance space within the integration association of the EAEU countries. In this regard, it is necessary to harmonize the laws of these countries, especially in terms of determining the financial stability of insurance companies and assessing the solvency of reinsurers. The results of the study can be used to bring the legal regulation of reinsurance activities in the Republic of Kazakhstan in line with international practice.

Abstract

International rating agencies and index providers believe external and internal uncertainties pressure Kazakhstan’s stock market. Analysts of agencies on the exchange map of the world refer to the Financial Market of Kazakhstan as the frontier, where the risks are high and poorly calculated. Based on 2022 data, Financial Market of Kazakhstan is characterized as a bit of liquid and very volatile, but still having good prerequisites for an increase in the rating (before Emerging), which may have beneficial consequences in the form of an influx of portfolio investment and entry into the global economy. The work aims to identify the main criteria and determinants for improving its position in international indices based on a comprehensive study of modern methodologies for classifying stock markets, as well as a critical analysis of the state of the domestic securities market. Set scientific questions are covered (What qualitative and quantitative criteria and factors of the stock market affect its rating according to the methodologies of international agencies? What determinants affect the increase in the rating of the domestic stock market?) by confirming the hypothesis “Identification and analysis of the main criteria and factors will positively affect the upgrade of the Kazakhstan stock market rating”. For the scientific study of theoretical and methodological practices affecting the identification of the main determinants of the FRC used interrelated, organically complementary and necessarily responsive to the tasks set empirical methods. The work has a great scientific and practical importance, which is confirmed by the adopted in September 2022 the Concept of development of the financial market of Kazakhstan until 2030.

Abstract

In a market economy, one of the key categories is competitiveness. The efficiency of the functioning of the enterprise characterized by the level of competitiveness of the manufactured product. The opening of the Kazakh market to foreign companies has led to a revival of competition. At the same time, a significant part of the products of Kazakh enterprises turned out to be uncompetitive not only in the world, but also in the domestic market. Kazakhstan’s industrial policy today adheres to a non–alternative course towards the development of non–primary sectors of the economy that do not depend on the conditions of world markets [1]. In this regard, there is a need to develop conceptual frameworks for increasing the competitiveness of products of enterprises in the extractive industries. On the example of the light carpet industry the authors of this article studied the global trends in the production of carpets and determined the place of domestic carpet products in the world market. An analysis of the current state of the carpet sub–sector in the domestic market of the Republic of Kazakhstan was carried out. The purpose of the article is to improve the assessing methods for the carpet products competitiveness by using economic and mathematical modeling. The proposed model provides an integrated approach and helps to reduce the cost of carpet products and accordingly, to increase its competitiveness by reducing the costs of its production and marketing. In the research the methods of economic and mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, economic analysis and synthesis, etc. were used. The relevance of the topic of the research is determined by the fact that the development of recommendations to improve the competitiveness of carpet products in the domestic market will contribute to the economic growth of the industry, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development of the country.

Abstract

This article will focus on such an urgent topic as inventory accounting, since at present production stocks make up a significant part of the value of the enterprise's property, and the cost of material resources in some industries reaches 90% or more in the cost of production. Also, production stocks (raw materials, materials, fuel, etc.), being objects of labor, accompany the production process of the enterprise with means of labor and labor force, which are used once. Materials are fully used in the production process as part of current assets and fully lead their value to the value of the products produced. The continuity of the development, production and shipment (sale) processes in the company's field of activity depends not only on funds, but also on the need for funds. Accounting, control, rationing and planning of various processes for the use of current assets, in particular production assets, are very important. Material stocks, their composition, sources of formation are the most important stage of regulation and management of the production process and production costs. Basic and auxiliary materials are formed in the volume of permanent, non-decreasing stocks and costs of most industrial companies exceeding the volumes formed at their own expense. Production stocks are fully consumed in each production cycle and completely replace their value with the value of the products produced. For the correct organization of inventory accounting, their classification, evaluation, methods and choice of accounting unit are important.

Abstract

The object of the research is the hypothesis: most of the features of the “smart specialization” model are present, at least formally, in the traditional development strategies of the regions of Kazakhstan. The “pure” condition for testing the hypothesis is the absence of the phrase “smart specialization” in the strategies (programs) of regional development from 2012 to 2021; lack of indications that the “smart specialization” model was taken into account; lack of appropriate directives from the state authorities. The article evaluates the strategies of innovative development of selected regions of Kazakhstan according to the criteria of the “smart specialization” model. The information base of the research was served by open sources: specialized bases of normative and legal acts, official websites of regions. Adapted method of smart specialization RIS3 Self-Assessment Wheel was used for testing the advanced research hypothesis. The basic methodology of the European Commission is based on point evaluations (on a scale of 0–5) of strategic regions according to 18 criteria, which detail 6 steps for the creation and development of a regional strategy of smart specialization. After completing the assessment of regional strategies (programs), the final result was presented in the form of a “web” diagram, on which the strengths and weaknesses of the innovative development of the considered regions were highlighted.

The article provides a general analysis of the demographic trends of monotowns. Classification, population, employment, migration trends and state support measures for economic diversification of monotowns in Kazakhstan with prospects for the development of town forming enterprise in case of depletion of raw materials. If in some monotowns we see growth of population then others demonstrate the population outflow, therefore we analyzed existing trends in socio-economic development of monotowns, but significant part of them shows demographic decline and outflow of skilled labor force. We provided a comparative analysis, methods of analytical analysis and a review of foreign and domestic scientific literature. We consider the ways of solving problems and development methods of monotowns. We studied socio-economic development level, international experience in solving problems and evaluated the effectiveness of state aid for monotowns. Nine monotowns due to their location have close economic ties with regional centers, which has a positive effect on their economic development. Population in these cities is generally stable. Economy diversification due to competitiveness of monotowns, balance of labor force, labor resources through demographic indicators such as mortality, migration growth, life expectancy. Vast territory, low population density, demographic growth and decline, remoteness from natural resources and intensive development of deposits, development of monotowns remain one of the most main tasks. The population decline in monotowns is observed in Pavlodar, Kostanay, East Kazakhstan, Mangystau regions, and the population of monotowns in Kazakhstan has decreased over the past five years

Abstract

Humanity has entered a new phase of development where economic growth is determined not so much by production, finance, consumption, etc., but by social, environmental, and institutional factors. Scientists from different countries have come to the understanding that economic processes are much more complex in their structure and require a greater study of qualitative indicators for further development. These studies show the importance of subjective statistical data and the importance of studying them. In Kazakhstan, the vector of political development is focused on “human-centeredness” in decision-making and the development of strategic plans. It would be a great omission to neglect the study of subjective statistical indicators in order to achieve the set objectives. The aim of this research is to ensure that Kazakhstan does not lag behind in the trend of studying alternative (subjective) types of statistical data in the development and implementation of territorial development strategic plans. The analysis of scientific literature on the problems of territorial development of the quality of life and the comparative analysis of foreign use of the definition of statistical indicators of the quality of life with Kazakhstani practice is the methodology of the study. The study in this direction has revealed a number of shortcomings and limitations in the methodology of statistical data on «quality of life» starting from data collection, sampling, processing, and evaluation. It is possible to note a the lack of data on the quality of life at the local level or a breakdown by region for a more in-depth study. This research aims to draw attention to the importance of subjective indicators in making management decisions, developing and implementing strategic plans for territorial development. We assume that crisis situations, such as the «January events» can be avoided in the future if subjective statistical data is taken into account on an equal footing with quantitative economic indicators.

Abstract

To date, the Law on the Civil Service of the Republic of Kazakhstan for civil servants has approved ethical rules, tasks, requirements that must be observed when interacting with society, however, explanations of communicative competencies, communication skills that must be observed when interacting with society are not given. The concept of development of local self-government in the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2025 outlines the need to clarify the status, functions, and powers of civil servants taken together of the current model of local self-government. The research paper uses the results of a sociological survey conducted by the Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2021, which indicate the main characteristics of the state body: accessibility of the state body, starting with the availability of contacts and addresses in the public domain; openness in providing information about activities and budget; availability of existing feedback channels with the population. This result once again confirms the need to improve the communicative competencies of civil servants of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the course of writing the article, the analysis of the content and history of the development of the process of reforming the civil service of the countries of Great Britain, France, USA, Switzerland, Japan, Canada, South Korea, standards of conduct of civil servants was carried out. Based on foreign experience, on the full coordination of the functions of the Civil Servants Service, on the experience of introducing the benchmarking process into the public administration system, the principles of the Civil Service Commission, the School of Public Service, Charity and Care in the country, recommendations are given on the formation of a model of professional communicative competencies of Kazakhstan civil servants.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING: METHODOLOGY, THEORY, TECHNOLOGY 

322-334 234
Abstract

Educational services are a commodity that benefits primarily those who consume it (individuals and the state). In the context of this topic such aspects as the quality of the workforce, a high level of income, high wages for workers and sustained economic growth are very important. All this defines the investment nature of educational services. Consequently, education in the context of its interaction with business can be understood as a social institution, which trains a skilled workforce in accordance with market requirements, the state of culture, changes in science and technology, as well as oriented towards the dynamic development of society and the growth of competitiveness of national (regional) economy. The ongoing reforms in higher education still leave many problems and challenges unresolved. The State Programme of Education and Science Development for 2020–2025 implemented in Kazakhstan requires a new level of relations between educational institutions, business, and society. Undoubtedly, business understands both the challenges and difficulties of higher education and in general is ready to participate in such processes as development of professional standards, formation of the content of educational programmes, monitoring of labour market needs in development of innovative education. However, new effective models and mechanisms of interaction between HEIs and business, based on a systematic approach including economic, managerial and legal aspects, are needed. The aim of the study is to develop theoretical, practical, methodological recommendations for improving the models of interaction between universities and business structures, which will allow the implementation of high quality innovative education.
