ORGANIZATION OF ACCOUNTING AND RISK-MANAGEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY: DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS IN THE CONDITIONS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The article aims to justify the measures for organizing the formation and provision of information from the accounting system for the risk management process in order to ensure the stability and sustainability of the development of higher education institutions. The goal has been realized on the basis of the application of the methods of observation, comparison, analysis, synthesis, generalization and economic-statistical method. The made analysis allowed to determine the risks of non-fulfilment of information needs regarding the functioning of higher education institutions for each study group (applicants, students, participants, parents of students/applicants, administration, employers, customers of research projects, teachers, government, society, governing bodies), which made it possible to offer an organizational approach to the information support of risk management of educational activities. This approach covers corrective management actions ( in terms of accounting functions) on each of the defined processes of the risk management system (admission process for higher education, planning the educational process, organizing the educational process, staffing educational activities), executives, responsible entities and output data. Taking into account the provisions of regulatory documents, scientists' developments and practical experience in risk management has allowed to determine the stages of risk management in educational activities of a higher education institution (risk analysis, risk assessment, direct risk management, risk monitoring, risk management reporting) indicating the role of accounting personnel in each of them. It has been substantiated that the main advantages of the proposed approach to information management of risk management of educational activities of higher educational institutions are the simplicity of use (provided with properly devised documentation), the complexity of the approach (coverage of all quality management system processes), responsiveness to identified risks; accounting structure of higher education institutions. It is proved that the proposals will contribute to the improvement of the accounting display of actions to minimize the risks of educational activities of higher educational institutions, thereby ensuring the strengthening of their competitiveness on the market of educational services.
