The agricultural sector is most subject to the influence of risk factors. This might be explained by the fact that the efficiency and the output of agricultural production depends not only on invested labor and funds, but also on climatic, weather, environmental conditions, natural disasters. In this regard, the development of theoretical foundations of operational risk management in agriculture is highly relevant. The objective of our study was to develop measures to improve the methods of risk assessment and operational risk management at the level of agricultural enterprises, taking into account the requirements of environmental management and environmental protection. The article discusses the conditions and features of agricultural production at the present stage of economic development, gives a comparative description of various sectors of the economy by the presence of risk factors and proposes methods for operational risk management in the agro-industrial complex. An risk management algorithm for agricultural enterprises has been developed.

 The article discusses the distribution of financial resources with a preference   for land assets and production of deep processed products with the highest added value, which simultaneously increases the incomes of producers and improves government revenues by increasing tax receipts. It is noted that the progressive development of agriculture depends on the technical modernization of the industry, which also requires investment. Therefore, it is necessary to subsidize the modernization and reconstruction of fixed assets - granaries, greenhouses. Potential profit, which will become an important component of investment, can give a boost to the investment activity. An analysis was carried out on the conceptual foundations of building economic relations in modern agricultural production. The conditions for the agricultural development have been assessed, and critical insights on mechanisms for implementing state and regional target programs have been provided. In terms of a systemic approach to the State economic management, the economic processes should be considered as a system of financial relations that interacts with other systems. In this regard, the paper presents a model that reflects the conceptual framework for managing financial flows. This model provides an overview of managing economic processes, and may take into account many elements and factors.

The article outlines theoretical, methodological and practical issues of modern control and optimization theory, as well as the problems of nonlinear systems theory. Theoretical conclusions and results allowed to build mathematical models applicable to the management of objects of different nature with different principles of action, in particular, to the management of complex technical and technological objects that can be considered as nonlinear dynamic systems. The authors find it appropriate to consider nonlinear dynamic integral models as Volterra integro-power series from many functional arguments with multidimensional weight functions and a certain finite set of inputs to the system. The set of multidimensional kernels of integral Volterra operators completely characterizes the nonlinear and dynamic properties, and, consequently, the technical state of the initial system. The application of Volterra series based models allows to take into account the nonlinear and inertial properties of the initial nonlinear dynamic system more fully and accurately, it also makes the model diagnostic of a technical system more universal, raises the reliability of the forecast. The diagnostic procedure in this case is aimed at defining Volterra kernels based on the data of “input-output” experiment and building the diagnostic system of attribute in the space of which the decisive rule of optimal classification is created.

The problems of sustainable development of socio-ecological systems are deeply related to the safety of the society's functioning, which depends on many factors and requires a systematic evaluation and special approaches to determine all their aspects. The article discusses a wide range of actual problems of monitoring and forecasting in the system of assessing the ecological, social and economic security of a region, and analyses the rationale of statistical analysis methods. But, it is has to be noted that for a number of important indicators there is no reliable statistical information, and this fact negatively affects the results of the study. A complex cluster analysis of the impact of human economic activity on the environment and public health has been carried out on the example of the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation

The concept of fixed assets is revealed in this article. The analysis of the depreciation degree of the fixed assets was carried out using the economic activity types in the period from 2011 to 2015. The existence and structure of fixed assets of commercial and non-commercial organizations using kinds of economic activity in 2015 are considered. The coefficients of renewal and retirement of fixed assets in bodies by means of the economic activity types are analyzed. Eight groups of typical mistakes are distinguished which accountants of industrial enterprises when accounting for fixed assets make and described in details. The emphasized problems are classified regarding audit criteria for the financial statements on a regular reflection of the condition and movement of fixed assets in the enterprise's business reports. A program of their internal control has been developed as a single possible solution of distortions in accounting indicators for fixed assets. The article also examines the valuation and revaluation of fixed assets in accounting. The main mistakes, violations, and facts of fraud are disclosed which made in the conduct of both assessment and reassessment of fixed assets, affecting the reliability of the indicators of financial statements. The analysis of additional signs of the fixed assets state is given characterizing the legality of revaluation of this type of assets.

El proceso de reproducción social es una base necesaria para la existencia de la sociedad humana y, al mismo tiempo, se entiende como el sistema de producción, distribución, intercambio y consumo. Las inversiones, en primer lugar, determinan el primer eslabón de este sistema (la producción), y sirven como base material para el desarrollo. A pesar de esta obviedad, la discusión sobre el papel moderno de la inversión en el desarrollo de la economía en general, y la esfera social en particular, se ha vuelto recientemente relevante en el entorno científico. Por ello, el presente artículo investiga el contenido de las inversiones en el contexto de su papel funcional en la reproducción ampliada.

The article reports results of research investigating cluster initiatives as a tool for crisis management at the regional level. The indicator helping to assess the regional industrial policy impact has been identified. Based on its values, the federal districts of Russia were classified according to the types of effectiveness of regional crisis management. The key problems of Central and North-Western federal districts were identified. The expediency of studying cluster initiatives of the Central Federal District since its historical development and scale of its regional economies are comparable to European parameters. The study of cluster initiatives allowed to find the cluster initiatives management scheme typical for the practice of stimulating clustering processes embedded in the strategies of social and economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation. A quantitative assessment of existing and potential clusters has been carried out on the example of the subjects of the Central Federal District, cluster initiatives have been ranked by types of economic activity. Cluster initiatives were differentiated according to the specifics of the management processes, and the specific nature of cluster initiatives. A factual basis for indicators has been formed in line with the objectives of the cluster policy of the Central Federal District subject. Having compared the indicators of the cluster initiatives specification with the values of the cluster policy implementation indicators, we analyzed the efficiency of cluster initiatives as an element of the regional crisis management.

The article examines the problem of economic development within a context of reductions of the investment resources. Russian economy is characterized by one of the highest borrowing costs. This affects the development of the real economy, as investment demand is shifting towards highly profitable projects. But the investments in the real sector have naturally lower profitability than financial speculations in securities of operating companies. In such circumstances, it is advisable to form a new organizational and economic mechanism of financing economic growth and modernization. The savings of the population should play a key role in this system, being the most important source of domestic investment.
