The article considers the application of methods that make it possible to determine the need for deeper standardization of processes within the framework of the implementation of national programs, based on the influence of the degree of standardization on the time and resource intensity of the implementation of national programs. To determine the impact of the degree of standardization on the implementation time of national programs implementation, it is proposed to use network-planning methods, taking into account the influence of the time required for the development and implementation of additional standards on the implementation of the national program. The impact of standardization on the resource intensity indicators of the implementation of national programs is proposed to be taken into account through the analysis of the dynamics of the amount of finance required for the implementation of the program. For this purpose, it is proposed to use business planning methods, namely: calculation of the costs associated with the development and implementation of additional standards and calculation of the financial benefits from deepening standardization, based on the calculation of the amount of reduction in the cost of financial resources per unit of the result of the national program implementation.
The state debt is the obligations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation arising from the state loans assumed by the Russian Federation, guarantees for the obligations to repay in the same amount with the payment of additional interest for the use of the loan. The issue of state and municipal debt and the resulting need for regional and municipal borrowing are particularly relevant for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities, since the current fiscal mechanism does not actually provide the principle of independence and balance of budgets,according to which the amount of budget expenditures should correspond to the total amount of budget revenues. According to the authors, the lack of funds is caused not only by the budget deficit, but to a greater extent by the shortcomings of the existing fiscal mechanism. The relationship between the budget deficit and the state debt is manifested in the subsequent increase in debt obligations due to the need to repay the debt and interest for using it. The purpose of the article is to assess the debt burden at the level of the state, constituent entities and municipalities in the current economic conditions, the impact of the revenues of the respective budgets on it.
The electronic document management system is one of the most popular products for implementation at various enterprises in various industries, ranging from heavy industry to state organizations and federal authorities. Document flow in many companies is carried out on paper, and this, in turn, causes great difficulties in processing, storing and executing documents. Paper archives occupy hundreds of square meters of storage space, and if necessary, it is very difficult to find the right document among a large amount of waste paper. In this regard, many companies begin to review their activities and move away from paper document management to electronic

The conditions for the use of the resource approach are determined, taking into account the specifics of the industry features of the formation of output and intermediate consumption indicators. The possibility of constructing dynamic series of indicators constructed using the resource approach for analytical purposes is evaluated.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Realizing the role of investments for the implementation of the policy of economic growth and increasing the monetary income and savings of the population, it is proposed to develop the development budget in the regions as an independent target monetary fund as part of the consolidated budget of the subject of the Russian Federation and a tool for activating investment processes. The authors substantiate two options for the formation of its income based on the state of the economic potential of the region and inter-budgetary relations in the country. The article argues for the need to reflect in the development budget tax expenditures corresponding to the amount of incentive tax benefits provided by the sub-federal government to investors. The analysis of the forms of state support for investment projects in the Rostov region that are in demand by business – tax incentives, “engineering” subsidies, special investment contracts-allowed us to formulate a set of measures to improve tax legislation. The full functioning of the development budget is impossible without its consolidation in the Budget Code of the Russian Federation, as well as simplification of the mechanisms for providing tax instruments that stimulate investment processes, maintaining the stability of tax legislation, and expanding the tax independence of the state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
FINANCE AND BANKING

The modern world is changing rapidly. Digitalization is becoming more and more important and penetrates into all spheres of society. The digital transformation of financial and monetary processes and systems deserves special attention. It is important to determine the place and role of the state in the regulation of these processes. This paper examines the current state and prospects of using cryptocurrency as an element of monetary circulation. Analysis of the dynamics of the bitcoin rate showed that the use of cryptocurrencies is promising. However, it is necessary to improve the regulatory framework. The introduction and use of the national cryptocurrency in Russia will stabilize the state of the financial system in relation to the dollar, ensure the safety of economic development and reduce transaction costs.
SOCIAL TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCESSES
Digital technologies have become firmly embedded in all spheres of our life. Presently, it is almost impossible to imagine a single day without the use of gadgets and electronic devices. An important place in the modern world is occupied by the problem of socio-psychological adaptation, which takes place in the process of digitalization. Managers pay attention to the adaptation process of new employees, but they do not always take into account that the transition to a remote format of work for most employees can cause a stressful state. Therefore, it is so important to organize comfortable conditions during the adaptation period to new working conditions. The article considers the socio-psychological features that allow them to pass most effectively the adaptation period in the conditions of the tendency to switch to a remote format of work. The most distinctive characteristics are highlighted, in which the adaptation is as successful as possible.
CURRENT TRENDS IN PSYCHOLOGY
The results of a theoretical and empirical study of psychological defenses and coping strategies of behaviour among employees of social service institutions are presented. The following methods were used in diagnostic procedures: “Life style Index” (R. Plutchik, G. Kellerman) and “Methods of coping behavior” (R. Lazarus and S. Folkman). As a result of the study, the respondents revealed the intensity of psychological defenses of the type “intellectualization”, “reactive education”, “denial” and coping strategies “problem solving planning”, “positive reassessment” and “search for social support”. The correlations of psychological defenses and coping strategies of respondents are interpreted. The specific differences of protective-coping behaviour among employees with different professional experience are shown: employees with up to ten years of experience are more inclined to compensated behaviour, and employees with ten years of experience or more – to self-control, a rational approach to solving difficulties, a responsible attitude to what is happening. The results of the study may be useful in the placement of personnel, in career counseling, in the framework of discourses on professional psychology. And further study of psychological defenses and coping strategies will help to understand the specifics of the professional identity of employees of a socionomic profile.
