Accounting and Taxation of Joint Investment Institutions, as One of the Mechanisms of Housing Construction Financing

In addition, an additional participant (intermediary) was entered into the system of economic relations, whose mission is to supervise and control the timely execution of construction and installation works and the effective use of financial resources received from investors. One of the possible forms of functioning of such intermediaries is joint investment institutes.
