Investments in environmental management and environmental protection have a decisive influence on the future of a region and its place in the economic development of the country as a whole. In this article, the principal differences between investment in environmental management and the financing of other projects are discussed. It is proven that, at present, the investment policy in the field of environmental protection of a region is oriented primarily toward current results. In such cases, it is possible to achieve only short‐term goals, and ultimately, to miss the prospect of further conservation of resources. Hence, short‐term investments in environmental protection activities and the achievement of rapid results are replaced by the commitment to promising, long‐term strategic growth. This article notes that the most effective form of implementing environmental monitoring is through environmental auditing, as auditing is performed at the expense of customers and does not require public financing. Furthermore, the effects of implementing environmental policies based on the results of environmental auditing can be even more significant than the results achieved under the State's environmental protection measures

This article describes economic-mathematical model of building and analyzing the economic potential in a rational organization of economic activity for the respective business enterprise. In the article the mathematical model, allowing to demonstrate the complexity of concept "economic potential", to show the necessity of its study in many other fields and at different levels, to build a system of indicators to assess the economic potential of an enterprise, that gives the possibility to analyze different aspects of the potential for the subject in its general and basic elements; to get methods for the determination of the system performance assessment of economic potential, based on the solution of the corresponding optimization problems; to identify some regularities of formation and correlation of quantitative estimates of the economic potentials of the system and its separate elements.

The objective of the study is to identify the priority tendencies in the investment emerged in recent years in the industrial sector of the national economy as well as the main factors limiting the growth of industrial production. The results show that for both medium/large enterprises and small businesses of the industrial sector, the most negative are the same factors that impede the extension of production. Among the most important constraints are the lack of financial resources, high levels of taxation, lack of demand for the company's products in the domestic market, as well as the deterioration and lack of equipment and the economic uncertainties. The insufficient Russian financial market development and the unavailability of loan funds are associated with the most of the limiting factors. This means that a more efficient state economic and industrial policies are required.

Research is devoted to the analysis of the mechanism of management of financial results which makes set of the administrative decisions providing achievement of a maximum of profit. Relevance of this problem is confirmed by data the expert according to whom many Russian enterprises due to the lack of the adjusted control system of finance annually lose not less than 10% of the income. herefore decisions which essence is reduced to creation of the effective mechanism of management of financial results have to become the most important problem of management of finance of the enterprise. It is proved that the mechanism of management of financial results has to coordinate price and assortment policy with policy of minimization of variables and constant expenses on the basis of studying of opportunities of advance of production for the market. It is revealed that effective managements of financial results of the industrial enterprises has to combine marketing, the prices and policy of the range with measures for decrease in expenses.The maximum size of profit or minimization of losses that can be reached as a result of imitating experiment on the offered models considering all set of factors has to become criterion function of such mechanism of management.
