The methodological approaches to improving the non-financial reporting of Ukrainian enterprises in the context of implementing the provisions of the document issued by UNCTAD (GCI), in terms of the private sector's contribution to the COVID-19 are highlighted. The authors identified the lack of unified approach to the standardization of non-financial reporting and the harmonization of companies' core indicators with macro-indicators of SDGs' achievement in the relevant areas. The hypothesis of the study: the GCI as an effective tool to ensure comparability of information disclosed in non-financial statements between companies, industries, geographical areas, countries, can be used to quantify core indicators that should be disclosed by Ukrainian companies for providing the information suport for SDGs monitoring. The purpose of the study is to substantiate information support and assessment of business contribution to process of SDGs' monitoring and overcoming the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including indicator 12.6.1, by defining the limited list of universal indicators within the national legislation, GCI recommendations and initiatives aimed at disclosure of coronavirus disease's impact on the company's activities. The authors within the study proved that the application of core indicators suggested by the GCI would not only promote the level of data transparency on the impact of reporting entities, but also provide the opportunity to compare information between companies, industries, geographical areas, countries. Based on the results of the study and conducted analysis of international initiatives, the institutional basis for improving the preparation of non-financial reporting within the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was formulated. This allowed to substantiate the suggestion on inclusion of additional indicators in the management report in terms of disclosing information about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the activities of enterprises and their contribution to combating the spread of the disease.
Purpose: The creation of favourable conditions on the part of the state for the introduction of approaches to responsible business conduct ensures that the development of the national accounting system is in line with modern trends adopted throughout the world. However, adaptation is impossible without proper scientific-analytical and methodological support. Scientific and analytical support of the adaptation process requires constant, consistent and planned work to assess the translation of European legislation into Ukrainian; implementation of a comprehensive comparative analysis of current legislation in accounting with international approaches to the disclosure of information in non-financial reporting.Methodology: The work aims to explore the best practices of forming the institutional framework for non-financial reporting of enterprises, which governments of low-middle economy countries can successfully implement. The object of research is international and national regulations and framework documents in the non-financial reporting of enterprises. Practical Implications: The value of the work is the creation of institutional preconditions for spreading the concept of corporate social responsibility among Ukrainian enterprises, which will increase the favourable business environment of the country and the efficiency of state resources management. The best world practice of non-financial reporting regulation was analyzed to achieve this goal. In addition, the basic principles of formalizing the mechanism of collecting and processing data on non-financial reporting of Ukrainian enterprises through the prism of international experience were studied.

Research methods used: bibliographic, analysis, synthesis, generalisation and systematisation.Results. The following critical issues of IPSAS implementation for justifying strategic financial decisions during both wartime and the post-war period are identified. It is proved that there may be other areas, related to the further development of the entities’ nonfinancial reporting in Ukraine.Conclusions. The results of the study have allowed formulating the suggestions for further improvement of the transparency and accountability of institutional sectors and developing a potentially informational solid and analytical database for strategic decision-making.
The implementation of a constituent element of a three-tier model of transfer pricing documentation – a report in the context of the countries of the multinational group of companies – is a prerequisite for Ukraine's joining the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement as a measure for implementation of Action 13. The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, together with the State Tax Service of Ukraine, developed a Roadmap on preparation and harmonization of the draft regulatory legal acts necessary to ensure implementation of the Law of Ukraine dated January 16, 2020 No. 466-IX, according to which the development, approval and registration of the regulatory legal acts for the country-by-country reporting and the procedure for filling it out must be completed until November 23, 2020. The purpose of the article is to determine the institutional basis for improving the legislation of Ukraine in the field of international exchange of information for tax purposes, in particular, the development of recommendations and proposals of the OECD in the field of country-by-country reporting of the multinational group of companies. In the course of study, the authors examined the OECD documents that form the institutional basis for the development of methodological and organizational support for reporting in the context of countries. In accordance with Action 13 of the BEPS Action Plan, jurisdictions of the world have undertaken to increase the transparency of taxation by enshrining in law the requirement to disclose information on the general distribution of their income, taxes and other indicators by the location of economic activity of multinational group of companies. The comparative analysis of the terminology and content of information to be disclosed in the country-by-country reporting in accordance with OECD documentation and Law № 466-IX shows that there is a discrepancy in terminology, indicators and degree of data disclosure in some indicators.
The article considers challenges and consequences of introducing a three-level model of transfer pricing documentation in Ukraine. The purpose of study is to assess the state of regulatory support for implementation of Step 13 of the BEPS Action Plan and to identify institutional measures for further implementation of three-tiered documentation on transfer pricing, taking into account the requirements of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The authors analyzed the state of accession of countries all over the world to the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, in order to counteract the erosion of the tax base and the withdrawal of profits from taxation of the OECD, ratified by the Law of Ukraine dated 28.02.2019 No 2692-VIII. Analysis of national legislation to take into account the requirements of the BEPS Action Plan and the experience of cooperation of the Government of Ukraine with international tax organizations allowed to scientifically substantiate the directions of improvement of national regulations on tax issues and to determine methodology for application of innovative reporting form in the context of further implementation of BEPS Action Plan. It is identified that implementation of a three-tiered reporting model for transfer pricing in Ukraine is at the beginning of the development, in particular legislation. The authors emphasize the importance of counteracting information asymmetry by ensuring the unification of terminology and quality of the database for innovative reporting preparation, in particular, for global documentation on transfer pricing, transfer pricing documentation and Country-by-Country reporting of multinational entities. Within the study it was proved that the organization of the reporting process at all levels of the Three-Level Model of transfer pricing documentation (hereinafter the Three-Level Model) should be aimed at preparing reports that contain reliable information with the maximum exclusion of duplication.
