• Accounting Method in Ukraines Public Sector
• Ukraine law does not presently define uniform
  accounting and reporting methods in the public
  sector
• Accounting for execution of the state and local
  budgets is conducted by Ukraine Treasury
  authorities using the cash method with elements
  of the accrual method for certain operations
  (accounting for the public debt and liabilities
  of the administrators of budgetary resources)
• Accounting for execution of budgetary entities
  budgets is conducted by the administrators of
  budgetary resources using a modified accrual
  method
• Accounting for state mandatory universal social
  insurance funds is based on a modified accrual
  method (uniform accounting methods established by
  the State Treasury are not used).
• Financial and budgetary reports on the execution
  of budgets are divided into
• financial
• quarterly
• annual
• budgetary
• monthly
• quarterly
• annual

Chart of Accounts for Execution of State and
Local Budgets
UKRAINE MINISTRY OF FINANCE

• The Chart of Accounts for state and local budgets
  is governed by a legal regulatory act
• Development of the Chart of Accounts took into
  account the distinctive features of the execution
  of state and local budgets, the operation of the
  unified treasury account, and the servicing of
  local budgets through Treasury authorities, in
  compliance with general accounting and reporting
  principles and requirements
• The Chart of Accounts provides for the reflection
  in accounting of operations associated with
  performance of the functions assigned to Treasury
  authorities, i.e., it makes possible detailed and
  complete accounting for all banking and other
  operations associated with execution of the
  budgets
• The Chart of Accounts has been developed to
  provide for accounting operations entailed in the
  execution of the state budget and local budgets
  operations using the cash method, and for the
  preparation of financial reports
• The Chart of Accounts employs a decimal method of
  encoding accounts with a four-digit number. Under
  that method, all classes are divided into 10
  sections, which are assigned numbers from 0 to 9.
  All sections, in turn, are divided into no more
  than 10 groups, which are also assigned numbers
  from 0 to 9. Each group is divided into no more
  than 10 accounts. Such an approach meets the
  requirements of the Ukraine National Bank with
  regard to the structure of accounts and number of
  digits, according to which the number of a
  balance-sheet account must have 4 digits while
  analytical accounts that are used in the Ukraine
  National Banks electronic payments system must
  have from 6 to 14 digits.

Chart of Accounts in Budgetary Entities
UKRAINE MINISTRY OF FINANCE

• Accounting in budgetary entities provides for
  the reflection of all operations associated with
  execution of their budgets. The timely, complete
  and accurate reflection on the entities balance
  sheets makes it possible for their officials to
  take well-founded managerial decisions, analyze
  an entitys (organizations) work, monitor the
  use of budgetary resources for their intended
  purposes on the basis of an approved budget, and
  detect unlawful and unforeseen expenditures
• Budget execution accounting in entities and
  organizations whose principal activities are
  financed out of state or local budget resources
  is based on the Chart of Accounts for budgetary
  entities approved in the December 10, 1999, Order
  No. 114 of the Chief Administration of the
  Ukraine State Treasury, registered with the
  Ukraine Ministry of Justice on December 20, 1999,
  No. 890/4183
• The Chart of Accounts uses a decimal method of
  encoding accounts with a three-figure number
  (first-level subaccount). All accounts are
  divided into 2 sections. Section ? comprises
  balance-sheet accounts, which are divided into 8
  classes. Section II comprises off-balance-sheet
  accounts, which include one class 0,
  Off-balance-sheet accounts
• The Chart of Accounts for a state mandatory
  universal social insurance fund is approved in a
  legal regulatory act of that fund.

• Further Plans for Improving Accounting and
  Reporting
• Development and implementation of a uniform Chart
  of Accounts and national accounting standards for
  public-sector entities using the accrual method
  (development has been completed of 19 national
  accounting standards in the Ukraine general
  government sector based on the International
  Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPASA).
  Implementation is slated for approximately 2015).
• Establishment of uniform rules for preparing
  budgetary and financial reports in accordance
  with national standards developed on the basis of
  the International Public Sector Accounting
  Standards
