Abstract

The subject of this publication is to substantiate the vector of transformation of the traditional audit model for public interest enterprises in Ukraine, taking into account the synergy of qualitative characteristics of the evolution of audit in world practice, the specifics of the establishment of an audit institute in Ukraine, the need to synthesize a system-oriented and risk-oriented audit methodology. An integrated audit model has been substantiated and proposed with the expansion of the subject area for evaluating systems that generate information not only about the state and results of public interest enterprises, but also about their ability to ensure business continuity, value increment and sustainable development for the future under conditions of uncertainty. The advantages of using an integrated model in the practice of auditing public interest enterprises are demonstrated, which are associated with a substantial minimization of the gap between the expectations of stakeholders and the results of the audit, as well as information risks when making economic (in particular, investment) decisions.
The purpose of the study was to substantiate the relevance, nature and elements of an integrated audit model of public interest enterprises as the main goal of transformational transformations by identifying the methodological features of audit steps in world practice, identifying and systematizing the signs of an institutionalized audit in Ukraine, establishing the specificity of the expanded subject area and the audit procedures.
