Annotation: The article studies the reasons, features, and factors of project management in the agri-industrial complex of Russia. The role of project management to improve the quality of the dairy business is highlighted. The method and methodology of the work include: diagnosis and observation, analysis of causal relationships, structural analysis and generalization of data on comparable projects in the field of functioning of subjects of the dairy segment. The article presents an analysis of alternative projects in the field of organizing the production, processing of milk and the sale of dairy products in the agri-food markets of Russia.

Annotation: The article includes a detailed analysis of several existing methods for assessing the value of receivables: coefficient methodology, methods of the Financial Academy and the National Collegium of Appraisers, author’s methods of M.V. Kruglov and Y.V. Kozyr. On their basis the multifactor method of express estimation of receivables value was developed, which allows us to take into account the time factor, the presence of collateral and the financial condition of the debtor. In the end an example of estimation of receivables value on the basis of public reporting of an agro-industrial company is given.

Annotation: The article defines the financial planning system of a corporation. The necessity of forecasting the cost of business by the financial planning system of Russian corporations is analyzed, including due to the application of international financial reporting standards as part of the convergence of Russian accounting standards with international financial reporting standards. It is revealed that international financial reporting standards define the discounted cash flow method as the main one for determining the value of a corporation. Within the framework of the weighted average cost of capital method, the existing methods of assessing the cost of equity of corporations are considered and their applicability by non-public companies is analyzed. A modified method of assessing capital assets is proposed for organizations whose shares are not traded on the stock market. This modified method of capital asset valuation is a combination of the discounted dividend flow method and the W. Sharp capital asset valuation model, while having a lower level of subjectivity than the cumulative construction method.

Annotation: The importance of the factors of choosing a medical organization by patients has changed recently. These changes reflect fundamental problems that have not been solved in healthcare for a long time. The purpose of this study is to monitor the factors of choosing a medical organization by a patient and identify the reasons that contribute to changing consumer preferences when choosing a medical organization. In the course of the study, methods of collecting and analyzing secondary information were used: statistical data, expert reviews, data from sociological surveys presented in the reports of analytical agencies and in publications were analyzed. In the course of the study, the authors made the assumption that the main value for the patient are: effective treatment and a high level of service. However, the study revealed a change in consumer preferences of patients when choosing a medical organization. The importance of factors ensuring the effectiveness of treatment, such as “doctor’s qualification” and “usefulness of admission” decreased, while the importance of the factors “price of medical services” and “technical equipment of a medical organization” increased. It was revealed that the increase in the importance of the “price of medical services” factor is associated with a shortage of personnel in most regions of the Russian Federation, as well as with the partial unification of the treatment process, which arose as a result of the introduction of clinical treatment recommendations. And the increase in the importance of the factor “technical equipment of medical organizations” is associated with excessive wear of equipment in medical organizations. The results obtained are of practical importance, since they can be useful for building a patient-oriented healthcare management system.
