O. S. Bilichenko. Path to maximize the profits of enterprises

Market system of management, which is formed in Ukraine, makes changing forms and methods of management of enterprise an economy requires new approaches to the place and role of the company in the development of social production.
A variety of views of problems of the theory of economic profit can be generalized as a difference between the income and expenses of the enterprise. Achievement of the best result in the conditions of the perfect competition though has the differences, however falls under the main theoretical representations.
There are many concepts of scientists and methods which characterize the category of «profit» as an indicator of a business entity. In determining this figure, the subject estimates the opportunities, sums up the results of the carried-out work and defines result.
The profit is a source of expanded reproduction, creation of funds of consumption, the contents and development of the non-productive sphere, production and social development of the enterprise, material encouragement.
The modern economic theory investigates the income section of microeconomics. The theory of firm behavior distinguishes the concept of economic, accounting and normal profit.
Two methods can help to answer a question about the profit-maximizing firm: total value comparison method and the method of comparison of limit sizes. Except the specified methods the operational method is offered in scientific literature.
The enterprise, under the terms of functioning close to absolutely competitive, can receive both economic profit and economic damage in the short-term period.
The normal profit for absolutely competitive branch is equal to zero in the long-term period. In the long-term period such enterprise won’t get economic profit.
For effective functioning of the enterprises in the conditions of the perfect competition it is worth coming nearer to the best conditions of managing due to possession of rare species of natural resources or location favorable conditions; uses of trademarks, brands, copyright; carrying out continuous monitoring of a market situation with the purpose of reorientation to production of innovative, exclusive goods or granting special (not inherent in the field) services; advertizing of the enterprise, specifics of its goods or services.

S. Syrtzeva.

The aim of the article is to study the methodological approaches to the development of accounting and analytical management system and its support in agrarian enterprises.
On the basis of theoretical generalization, the concept of “accounting and analytical support of agrarian enterprises’ management system’, which should be understood as forming of accounting information in order to summarizes the economical results; and analytical information and in order to make the right management decisions, is defined.
The formation of accounting and analytical support of agrarian enterprises’ management system should be considered in the context of the 4 stages.
The first step is to identify and analyze the need for information. It is an important and necessary step to improve the system of management to study and review some existing management processes and information flows on the basis of which the management decisions should be taken.
The second step is to determine the structure and analytical accounting system that will form accounting and analytical support of management activities that best meet the needs of internal and external users of information.
During the research, it was found that the analytical accounting system consists of elements that interact with each other, depend on each other and form a single whole. The central element of accounting and analytical system is business accounting, which is one of the main sources of economic information that describes the actual situation in the company. According to its functions the business accounting can be divided into financial, managerial and tax.
Therefore, in agrarian enterprises it should be used the integrated accounting system with the financial accounting, which plays the main role should be provided.
The third step is to identify the organizational, technical and methodological aspects of accounting and analysis system that will generate accounting and analytical support of agrarian enterprises.
The main document that defines the operation of accounting and analytical systems in the enterprise is its accounting policy. It can be shaped as a separate document for certain types of accounting. However, in the case of providing an integrated accounting system, the unique document should be provided, which will take into account all aspects of accounting policies in the context of all types of accounting in the enterprise.
The fourth stage of the formation of accounting and analytical support management system is the regulation of external and internal reporting of agrarian enterprises by developing internal reporting documental forms. That is necessary to determine the types of reporting (accounting, tax, strategic, etc.), its structure and content, terms of report, methods of accounting, analysis, and responsible people for its timely fulfillment.
Thus, the formation of accounting and analytical support of agrarian enterprises’ management system should be based on the accounting and analytical principles within the bounds of defined stages.
