Abstract
The article studies the role of the program-target method in managing public finance in entities of the Russian Federation. Different points of view of Russian scientists concerning this approach were analyzed, including its ability to accumulate budget funds to attain strategic goals of social and economic development, as well as the relation between budget expenses and expected results of bodies of power activities. Regulatory and legal basis of working-out and implementing state programs were studied, including federal and regional legislation. The authors put forward trends of upgrading the process of elaboration and implementation of state programs on the regional level, such as upgrading regional methodology, adaptation of legislation for today’s conditions, introduction of digital technologies and raising coordination between different levels of power. Concrete steps aimed at improving the quality of planning and implementing state programs were advanced, among them specification of efficiency appraisal criteria, introduction of new tools of monitoring and control and consolidation of links between different levels of power. Research findings can be used to raise the efficiency of public finance management and to improve social and economic situation in regions. Special attention was paid to recommendations on upgrading programtarget method, including the development of acute criteria for state programs, increase in control over target indicator attainment and provision of finance account transparency.
