Recently these normative documents required amendments, because users of non-financial reporting were concerned with a broader range of supplementary information. It covers company’s goals and strategies; environmental sustainability; extension of the responsibility of company management and top administrative staff for the assurance of sustainability; the concept of materiality and its analysis; the assessment of risks specific to sustainability, affecting the performance of company and having indirect adverse effects for community and environment; the disclosure of information on intangible assets (human, intellectual and social capital); research, development and innovation; social responsibility before employees, respect to human rights and fighting with corruption and bribery. Therefore, the EU Council approved the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. The information disclosure in non-financial report was made the exclusive responsibility of business enterprise management, and it depends on the specific of national law and business activities of an enterprise. Bearing this in mind, the procedure for the compilation of non-financial report was developed, with clarifying the issues that required consideration: structuring of non-financial reporting; setting up the indicators of financial and non-financial reporting; collection of data and estimation of results; preparation, monitoring and presentation of the report. The proposed structuring is meant to help a business enterprise focus on urgent issues of non-financial reporting, first and foremost on highlighting its market sustainability and sustainable development perspectives. A set of indicators characterizing non-financial reports is proposed: ratio of competition intensity, ratio of market advantage, overall index of labor productivity, index of turnover of goods, works and services. Clarifications are made in the basic terminology: non-financial information, non-financial reporting, sustainable development, integrated reporting, and corporate reporting. They help make the procedure for monitoring of non-financial reporting regular and transparent for users.","PeriodicalId":52812,"journal":{"name":"Statistika Ukrayini","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47170259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, the harmonized system of surveys includes the Household Living Conditions Survey, the Labor Force Survey and the Survey of Household Agricultural Activities in rural areas. About 100,000 households are surveyed annually, which represent all private households in various samples of these surveys. A significant number of specialists with the necessary knowledge and skills have been trained in the State Statistics Service of Ukraine (hereinafter - SSSU), territorial bodies of the SSSU. \u0000The article considers the main characteristics of the SSSU experience in the field of methodology and practice of organizing and conducting the household sample surveys, collecting and processing surveys’ data, statistical indicators estimation. The strengths and weaknesses of the acquired experience, potential directions for improvement of surveys, risks that may affect the quality of their results in the future, plans for the development of the system of sample surveys and the use of new methods of data collecting and processing are discussed. \u0000It is noted that the acquired experience made it possible to approach in 2021 to the development of the basis for introduction of such actual survey in Ukraine as the EU statistics on income and living conditions (EU-SILC), to foresee the use of new data collection technologies CAPI, CATI and CAWI without any particular problems. \u0000At the same time, it is shown that some important methodologies regarding the estimation of indicators based on survey results have not been implemented. It is noted that an urgent problem for the SSSU is the use of \"big data\" in household surveys, which provides the opportunity of significantly reducing the burden on households during the survey, improving the completeness and timeliness of information about them, reducing costs for survey providing, etc. Such data could provide also estimation of certain important statistical indicators during the war. The risks of an accelerated transition for conducting the state household sample surveys mainly using CATI and CAWI technologies are discussed, related to the possibility of a significant deterioration in the quality of the survey results due to the lack of relevant skills of the SSSU specialists, insufficient level of Internet use by the population, lack of population and household registers with quality data in Ukraine, etc.","PeriodicalId":52812,"journal":{"name":"Statistika Ukrayini","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49067155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is very volatile due to the sensitivity of foreign investors to information signals, caused by much higher riskiness of foreign markets than internal ones. Heavy FDI inflows in the past are not a guarantee of their similar inwards in the future and vice versa. The process of taking investment decisions depends on the investors’ aversion and the investment climate in a host country. The aversion of companies is dependent on size, organization and origin, which is a result of varying capabilities of counteracting international risks. The investment climate is conditional on the performance of democratic institutions, the formation of democratic society and the progress in a host country, especially in information technologies. The sensitivity to information signals essentially increases for investment projects in countries at war. The war risks feature much higher uncertainty than the risks of peacetime, being extreme by nature, which means that they may have devastating effects for an investor in spite of a low probability of the occurrence, i. e. cause abnormal losses, partial or total ruining of invested assets, or physical injuries, captivity, hostage-taking or death of company staff. This offers an argument for reasonability of the systemic approach to setting up the public policy on attracting foreign direct investment in time of war with accounting for various investor categories and special emphasis on the risk management tools that are capable to increase the level of investors’ protection and certainty. We believe that the key ones are information support for the process of taking investment decisions, formation of reserve capital by estimating value at risk and conditional value at risk, double diversification of invested assets, risk premium and international insurance of FDI. International insurance is the core component of a scheme for the protection of investors in time of war, and when the aggressor is a country with permanent membership in the UN Security Council, its guarantee will require initiatives collaborated with international partners","PeriodicalId":52812,"journal":{"name":"Statistika Ukrayini","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45045043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article explains the specifics of the interrelation of the main forms of social capital in the structure of civil society networks, in particular those related to the functioning of charity and volunteer sectors. \u0000The article provides an expanded classification of forms of social capital according to the criteria of the way of formation, tools, and goals of functioning of social networks of civil society. An important pattern of social capital development is revealed, the essence of which is the volatility of social capital forms, the easing of their mutual conversion and combination. It is argued that this volatility requires constructive managerial influence to ensure conditions for the effective use of the resource advantages of social capital in the context of social consolidation. \u0000The main trends in the development of the civil sector of Ukraine over the past decade have been identified. Its main components are defined as charitable and volunteer initiatives, through which the potential of social capital formation is realized. The interaction of forms of social capital with the active role of these initiatives has been discussed. It is argued that the growth of civil activity has contributed to the quantitative increase in the institutional components of the charity sector. The transformations of social development due to the strengthening of the role of the national unity factor are determined. The main factors of influence on the growth of the level of charity in Ukraine in comparison with the EU countries are determined. It has been noted that a significant increase in charitable, and especially volunteer, activity of the population occurred after February 24, 2022 – the date of full-scale Russian invasion. The main types of volunteer activity have been defined as: assistance to the Armed Forces (in particular, due to the opportunity to donate), humanitarian assistance to forcibly displaced persons. The importance of fundraising platforms for the development of e-philanthropy and e-volunteerism among the population of Ukraine has been revealed. \u0000Recommendations for flexible management of the interaction of forms of social capital for the effective development of the charitable and volunteer sector and the use of their capabilities in the context of confronting the latest social and humanitarian challenges associated with the full-scale invasion of Russia are formulated. The use of a priority new approach in social policy, in particular agile management, which contributes to the growth of charitable and volunteer activities and the integration of forms of social capital, is substantiated.","PeriodicalId":52812,"journal":{"name":"Statistika Ukrayini","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43702791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the change determined by spread of COVID-19 in 2019–2021 can be revealed with a high reliability by use of official statistics data, mortality statistics in Ukraine became hardly accessible after 24.02.2022. The exact number of deaths caused by the war (for military men and civil population alike) has not been known by now. Even on the territories outside the warfare zone, not all the death occurrences due to ECs have been identified and classified with accuracy. There exist a series of factors for the increased probability of death caused by ECs in time of war due to injuries provoked by warfare and other factors.  \u0000The research objective is to assess the change in mortality due to external causes resulting from the spread of COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine; to identify and assess risk factors with impact on this change, and, given the lack of updated statistical data, to articulate hypotheses on a probable change in the mortality by cause, on conformity with Chapter XX “External causes of morbidity and mortality” of the International Statistical Classification of Deceases and Related Health Problems (10th revision). \u0000An assessment of the prewar situation and the change in time of the COVID-19 pandemic was made by data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine on the distribution of deaths by cause, gender and age for 2019–2021; the situation in time of the war was assessed by selected data of the official departmental statistics and data of international agencies for 2022. It was revealed that in 2021 a smaller share of deaths (3.20% against 4.25% in2019) fell into Chapter XX. Ukraine did not feature a reduced mortality due to ECs relative to 2019, with the estimate by Eurostandard being virtually unchanged. \u0000Factors determining the potentially increasing mortality due to ECs in Ukraine are as follows: the war and massive injuries (of military men and civil population) resulting from the warfare throughout the active period of war and its consequences, e. g. hitting by explosive devices after its cessation; the acute or chronic mental pressure with the majority of the population and the spreading post-traumatic disorders provoking the increasing scales of risky behaviors and suicide; ruining of transport infrastructures and loosening control over the traffic safety, especially in times of blackout; the increasing probability of unintentional poisoning (with chemical substances, carbon monoxide, poisonous plants and mushrooms, alcohol), thermal injuries and overcooling/frostbites. carbon monoxide \u0000The increasing mortality due to ECs (mainly from injuries resulting from warfare, suicides, injuries with undefined intentions, road traffic accidents or poisonings) was pred","PeriodicalId":52812,"journal":{"name":"Statistika Ukrayini","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43313846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complexity and ambiguity of the problem related with the choice of a special treatment type, i. e. surgical treatment or combined surgical treatment, was emphasize. The combined surgical treatment is available in two options: as a combination of surgical treatment and radiation therapy and a combination of surgical treatment, radiation therapy and chemical therapy. The data on female patients who had medical treatment in the National Institute of Cancer used for a statistical analysis to reveal positive and negative results from each type of special medical treatment.  \u0000The need for the assumption on proportionality was substantiated, with its testing based on a graphic analysis by grouping factors. The obtained results led to the conclusion that the model could be extended by the categorical factors: type of treatment (grouping factor), type of surgical operation, phase of decease. \u0000The assessment was made based on analyzing the factors’ impact by type of medical treatment. It was demonstrated that the model could be extended by interaction effects that would enable for estimating the relative risk depending on a combination of the treatment group and the respective factor. None of the effects included in the model could prove to be statistically significant. It means that no conclusions could be made about the factors’ interactions by type of the medical treatment. The interpretation of all the other factors that proved to be significant was applied to all the population. The strongest projection weight in the model was with the factor of decease phase, followed by the type of medical treatment and, in equal proportions, by the age and the type of surgical operation. The results of checking the global test could demonstrate the feasibility of predicting the survival rate for the overall model with the significance level equal to 0.05. \u0000It was proved that adjuvant and chemical therapies could reduce the risks of the recurrence, but this result had not an ultimate statistical validity.

Therefore, the auditor must ensure the validity of his opinion, which is achieved through ensuring the quality of audit procedures at all stages. Failure to ensure the quality of audit tasks is a reason to mislead users of financial statements of enterprises and auditorsʼ conclusions, does not warn users about financial problems and the possibility of bankruptcy, especially in socially significant companies. From December 2022 on the audit, quality control of audit services are waiting for radical changes in quality management. The article highlights the results of a study devoted to new requirements to quality management in auditing firms, resulting from the enforcement of the new standards: ISQM 1 “Quality Management”, ISQM 2 “Engagement Quality Reviews”, and the revised ISA 220 “Quality Management for an Audit of Financial Statements”. The design of a quality management system at firm level is considered in ISQM 1, including building up an organization system for management of audit quality, creating the essential conditions for performing audits. This standard will be enforced in place of the existing ISQC 1“Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements”. The new quality management system includes the following components: the risk assessment process of the audit firm; management and leadership, ethical requirements, acceptance, continuation of customer relationships and specific tasks; resource; performance of tasks; information and communication; monitoring and sanctions. ISQM 2 “Engagement Quality Reviews” specifies the requirements to reviewers of the quality of performed audit engagements. A quality reviewer is required to have knowledge and understanding of professional standards, current legal and normative acts, and understanding of firm’s policies or procedures used in the process of engagement performance; knowledge of the industry of a company to which audit services on engagement performance were provided; the professional experience in evaluations of scopes and complexity of the performed engagements, the professional qualification for quality evaluations of the engagement performance, including the firm’s obligation for providing this qualification.

The evolution of state support is shown: changes in the priorities of industry development and the number of subsidies for the purchase of equipment, the development of which is encouraged. It is established that the support of decision-making on the implementation of state support is provided by scientific institutions, relevant associations, information and analytical agencies. It is shown that the generated statistical databases allow to analyze the scale and structure of sales of machinery to farmers with state subsidies (by categories, manufacturers, regions), calculate China's agricultural machinery market sentiment index (AMI), among the components of which - Agricultural Machinery Subsidy Index. \u0000It is stated that on the initiative of the National Committee for Industrial Development a mechanism of partial compensation of the cost of machinery and equipment for agro-industrial complex, which has a certain level of localization of production in Ukraine, was launched in Ukraine in 2017.

The necessity of expanding state support is substantiated: introduction of incentives for technological innovations of enterprises and partial compensation of interest on loans for the purchase of Ukrainian made agricultural machinery. Following the example of China, it is proposed to improve the mechanism of partial compensation by adjusting the upper limit of aid intensity in accordance with the cost of machinery and equipment for farmers and its innovation.

It is revealed that the top priority of Ukraine in its approach to the expansion of cooperation with the Republic of Azerbaijan is the policy of diversification of energy sources. Also, Azerbaijan is to a large extent lucrative for Ukrainian businesses as a market for metal and agricultural products and a customer of Ukrainian advanced technologies and developments and engineering works. The industrial and agricultural sectors of the Azeri economy demand products and materials for oil and gas, extracting, defense, chemical, food and manufacturing industries. So, the Republic of Azerbaijan is interested in supplies of Ukrainian goods and exploitation of its science & technology capacities.       \u0000The main risks and threats limiting the expansion of trade between the two countries are highlighted: prioritization by Azerbaijan of the stability in exports of energy sources to the main partners and attraction of investment to the domestic economy.

The procedure of relations between Ukraine and Azerbaijan is regulated by an agreement. It may involve the risk of unilateral violation of this agreement by Baku with respect to the implementation of free trade zone.

The indisputable focus of international donors (five of the six instruments developed during this period) was found to be local-level measurements. Neither the national nor sectoral dimensions had such interested donor support. Thanks to these developments, certain steps forward have been made: several well-thought-out and well-structured tools have been proposed among the latest and developed by gender specialists from abroad; the thought-over structures of directions of gender measurement are offered. \u0000At the same time, all tools developed for the local level: 1) were not correlated and had no connection with previous developments (each of them was developed autonomously); 2) five out of six did not provide a clear link with the national gender measurements, thus creating a gap between the results of local and national gender measurements and making them disproportionate in their results; 3) these tools did not provide, except for the gender passport of the Association of Ukrainian Cities, the regularity of their use, thus continuing the negative trend of irregularity of gender measurements in Ukraine; and did not propose to establish appropriate bodies; 4) did not provide for participation in development teams of relevant research institutions, or even only the participation of academic gender researchers. The developers are definitely dominated by civil society activists and their coordinators from international donor organizations. In addition, the number of developers in such development teams is usually small. This leads to non-compliance with scientific procedures in the development of tools and in the actual measurements and calls into question both the effectiveness of such tools and the objectivity of the results obtained with their help. It also pushes gender issues to the periphery of national research and education practices in Ukraine, depriving the gender equality advocates of the opportunity to integrate gender issues into professional activities in academia. It is because of the exclusion of the academic community from the processes of developing gender measurement tools that Ukraine is unable to obtain such an indispensable source of gender data as research data. \u0000Conclusions were made on the serious and diverse experience of Ukraine in the field of national gender measurements, as well as the experience of creating groups and networks of active citizens ready to conduct such measurements to improve the social situation of their communities, regions, and cities. The need to move to the next stage of professionalization of gender measurements, their implementation on a solid professional basis, and integration into the activities of professional statistical, sociological, managerial institutions and communities are pointed out.","PeriodicalId":52812,"journal":{"name":"Statistika Ukrayini","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46382817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
