This article examines the key risks faced by banks in forming green credit portfolios and identifies effective strategies for risk management. Drawing on international experience, the study analyzes the nature of credit, climate, transition, technological, operational, market, and greenwashing risks. The findings demonstrate that green loans possess a more complex risk profile compared to traditional lending and require the implementation of environmental taxonomies, energy-efficiency certification, independent audits, and state-supported financing mechanisms. For Uzbekistan, adopting these tools can improve the quality of bank credit portfolios, reduce environmental risks, and accelerate the country’s green economic transition.

This research article analyzes the pressing issues of improving the methodology of tax administration at the local level. The primary objective of the study is to develop scientific and practical proposals for expanding the regional tax base and increasing the efficiency of tax compliance through the analysis of tax risks and the integration of modern tax control systems (digital technologies, risk profiling, and electronic invoicing data tracking).

As a result of the study, an authorial methodology for digitalizing tax control and developing an early detection system for tax risks at the regional level is proposed. This methodology serves to ensure the sustainability of local budget revenues and reduce the scale of the shadow economy

Today’s market is becoming tough for small businesses. Competition is growing, and digital technologies are evolving so fast that it is becoming difficult to keep up. Small companies, in particular, often struggle more than larger firms because they usually work with limited budgets, depend heavily on manual tasks, and do not always have standardized processes in place.

By automating the most time-consuming and vulnerable parts of their work, small businesses can save resources, reduce errors, and operate more confidently. This article explores what kind of challenges small businesses are currently facing while automating their operations. It also identifies the main risks involved and suggests practical software tools that can help small companies choose solutions that truly meet their needs

This article explores the applicability of the Risk-Based Capital (RBC) framework to the insurance market of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Drawing upon international best practices, especially the APRA model from Australia, the study empirically assesses the capital structure comprised of premium, claims liability, and asset risks. The analysis revealed the dominant role of insurance-related risks in capital requirements and emphasized the need to transition from rigid normative regulation to a more risk-sensitive and adaptive supervisory approach. The paper provides policy recommendations for a phased implementation of RBC, including the development of a localized model, creation of a national actuarial database, and modernization of regulatory frameworks.

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.

This research examines the influence of environmental risk management (ERM) on the credit portfolio stability of commercial banks in Uzbekistan, utilising secondary data from sustainability reports, regulatory publications, and international financial institutions. The results show that banks with more advanced ERM frameworks, which include environmental screening, green lending, and sustainability governance, have lower non-performing loan (NPL) ratios and better asset quality. On the other hand, banks that don’t use ERM as much are still more vulnerable to environmental and credit risks. The study finds that integrating environmental risks into the banking system in Uzbekistan is necessary to make it more financially stable and in line with global standards for sustainable finance
