This article examines the system of factors determining the effectiveness of financial resource management in higher education institutions. The expansion of higher education enrollment, changes in the proportion of government-funded and tuition-based financial resources, and the growing need to finance research and innovation activities require a qualitative improvement in financial management. The purpose of the study is to systematize the factors affecting the formation, allocation, and control of financial resources and to develop an integrated assessment methodology. The research applies a systems approach, comparative analysis of regulatory and legal documents, the indicator method, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), normalization techniques, and sensitivity analysis. The findings classify the influencing factors into five interrelated groups: the institutional and regulatory environment, diversification of funding sources, the quality of internal financial management, the efficiency of resource allocation, and transparency and financial risk management. Based on these groups, a Financial Resource Management Efficiency Index for higher education institutions is proposed. The index can be used to diagnose the financial sustainability and development potential of higher education institutions, identify priority expenditure areas, and improve the quality of managerial decision-making. The research findings may also be applied in developing medium-term financial plans, introducing responsibility centers for budgetary and extra-budgetary funds, and establishing internal financial monitoring systems

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

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 paper proposes a four-dimensional risk index model for designing internal audit programs in the public sector. The model integrates legal, financial, resource, and organizational risks to provide a comprehensive framework for risk-based audit planning. Through simulation involving hypothetical departments, the study demonstrates that aggregate risk scores can mask the diversity and specificity of underlying risk categories. By decomposing audit risk into distinct dimensions, the model enhances audit targeting, supports transparent decision-making, and aligns with international internal audit standards. It also proves particularly useful in environments with limited data availability. The model’s adaptability and clarity make it suitable for both manual and automated audit planning processes. While future enhancements could include dynamic weighting and digital integration, the model as presented already offers a robust and practical approach to prioritizing internal audit activities and improving public sector governance outcomes.

In this article, in order to stabilize the financial situation of prestigious companies in the world, create new jobs and achieve economic growth, it is necessary to "transition to international standards of management, use transfer pricing in the process of concluding financial transactions in entities of the cluster and cooperative system, and present financial and management reports on operational segments." .

The article analyses the factors affecting the effectiveness of internal audit in budget (public-sector) organizations and the related systemic problems. It examines the influence of the internal audit unit’s independence, competence and institutional status, the impact of the internal control environment, financial management quality and data reliability on the audit, and the weak points in action-plan implementation, monitoring and feedback. The empirical basis is the list of the most frequent violations by audit organizations published by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the results of the Ministry’s evaluation of the internal audit services of five ministries in the first half of 2025. The analysis shows that, although institutional factors such as independence, resources and competence score high (87–95%), risk-based planning (47.8%) and action-plan implementation (62.6%) score low and constitute the systemic weak point of effectiveness. The article concludes with practical recommendations to improve effectiveness
