This article scientifically analyzes the issues of forming and improving the internal control system at enterprises in the context of the digital economy. The study highlights the role of the internal control system in corporate governance, its significance in risk management, and its impact on financial stability. As a result of the introduction of digital technologies, it is substantiated that the internal control system will transform from a traditional inspection mechanism into a proactive, real-time management tool. The need to automate the internal control system, integrate it with information systems, and apply a risk-oriented approach is also indicated. The research results are important for increasing the efficiency of management at enterprises, reducing financial errors, and ensuring the efficient use of resources

The article analyzes the institutional, methodological, and organizational problems arising in the process of preparing consolidated financial statements (hereinafter – CFS) in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter – IFRS). In the study, CFS is interpreted not merely as the practice of aggregating the financial statements of individual enterprises line by line, but as a broader system encompassing economic relations at the group level, mechanisms for exercising control over consolidated entities, the organization of information systems necessary for consolidation, and the establishment of an integrated group accounting policy. The article examines the main practical problems encountered in the consolidation process under the conditions of Uzbekistan, including formal approaches to the assessment of control, issues related to the application of a unified group accounting policy and the elimination of intra-group transactions, as well as insufficiently developed information databases and inadequate professional capacity of personnel. These problems are classified into five main groups (regulatory-institutional, organizational-managerial, methodological, technical, and human resource related), and based on their analysis, the author proposes a diagnostic model. Furthermore, practical recommendations have been developed regarding the determination of the consolidation perimeter, standardization of group accounting policies, modernization of information systems, and enhancement of human capital capacity. The results of the research contribute to improving the preparation of consolidated financial statements in Uzbekistan, increasing the transparency of corporate governance, and deepening the integration of reporting corporate groups into the international financial market

This article considers foreign experience as an important factor in ensuring the effectiveness and sustainable development of financial planning in enterprises. In developed countries, financial planning is carried out, first of all, in combination with market mechanisms, digital technologies and financial control systems. Efficient allocation and optimization of financial resources, the use of automated models for budgeting and forecasting, the implementation of modern risk management methods, compliance with international financial reporting standards, and ensuring financial transparency and accountability based on corporate governance principles are of great importance. At the same time, the experience of foreign enterprises shows the widespread use of innovative financing sources - venture capital, bonds, leasing and crowdfunding. The analysis of these experiences serves as an important methodological basis for Uzbek enterprises to improve the effectiveness of financial planning, strengthen competitiveness and accelerate the integration processes into world markets
