Authors: Setiyowati Mita Dwi , Reviandani Oktarizka
Published: June 2024

Accountability for bureaucratic performance is a desired condition in state administration in accordance with Presidential Decree no. 81 of 2010. Bappeda Sidoarjo Regency as a regional government agency has an obligation to realize accountability for bureaucratic performance. Apart from that, accountability for bureaucratic performance in the Sidoarjo Regency Bappeda also encourages the realization of good governance in accordance with the main principles of good governance. One form of realizing the main principles of good governance in the Sidoarjo Regency Bappeda is the annual Government Agency Performance Report (LKjIP). The aim of this research is to find out how the main principles of good governance are implemented in the performance report of the Sidoarjo Regency Bappeda. The descriptive qualitative research method is the research method used in this research with research results through analysis of LKjIP documents, interviews and observations of employees who have authority in that section. The research results show that the Sidoarjo Regency Bappeda has implemented the main principles of good governance in administering regional government affairs. The four main principles of good governance that exist really support the Sidoarjo Regency Bappeda, especially in transparency to the public. However, there are still several main principles of good governance that need to be further optimized to increase the level of public trust in the Sidoarjo Regency Bappeda as a regional government agency that carries out regional government affairs, especially in regional planning and development.

Published: June 2024

The Regional Government Information System (SIPD) is an e-government system with a program or network that is used to harmonize coordination between the central government and regional governments. The Regional Government Information System (SIPD) has been regulated in Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 70 of 2019 where the system is designed to be more responsive, adaptive, innovative, dynamic and accountable. SIPD was designed by the Ministry of Home Affairs to harmonize the flow of stages in structuring regional plan documents based on statutory regulations. The aim of this research is to determine the implementation of SIPD in facilitating housekeeping at the General Bureau of the Regional Secretariat of East Java Province. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, literature study and documentation. The findings in this research use the concept of policy implementation according to Edwards III by reviewing several aspects such as communication, resources, disposition and bureaucratic structure. In general, the implementation of SIPD has gone quite well and effectively. However, there are still several obstacles in its implementation which have not been carried out optimally. Some of these obstacles are a lack of time efficiency in carrying out tasks and a lack of information in solving problems due to a lack of socialization and information related to SIPD. Therefore, there needs to be clarity regarding support and coordination with other agencies so that the implementation process runs well. This is related to increasing the quantity of human resources to support effectiveness and time efficiency in completing tasks.

Published: June 2024

Current technological advances have begun to give rise to many new media trends, one of which is podcasts. Banjarsari Village, Probolinggo Regency is one of the villages that has a podcast program managed by PIK-R Banjarsari Youth. This program is one example of the information media and public services in the current era of digitalization. However, the problem is, that Banjarsari Village does not utilize existing facilities, and the podcast made has not reached most of the people of Banjarsari Village. Therefore, this study aims to formulate a podcast development strategy to build a digital society and provide digital-based public services in Banjarsari Village. This research uses a descriptive research method with a qualitative approach. Data collection is used through primary data, namely interviews, observations, documentation, and secondary data such as journal articles, reference books, websites, and also previous research. Through the perspective of Robbins and Coulter's strategy theory, it was found that there are three levels of strategy. First, corporate strategy, adding a YouTube channel as a differentiator of discussion topics and being active in social media as a consulting room. Second, competitive strategies, there needs to be consistency in uploading content and podcast administrators must be good at choosing content concepts and themes that can attract the attention of the audience. Third, functional strategy, the formation of a production team in creating podcast content as well as mentoring and training to Banjarsari Village youth.

Published: June 2024

The problem in this study is that people in Tanjung Bintang District take approximately 2 hours to take care of population documents such as ID cards, family cards, birth certificates, and others. The mileage experienced by the community when handling documents is very difficult, time-consuming, and inefficient. This is a problem for today's society. The research method used is qualitative descriptive research, which is an analysis based on data obtained through interviews with informants, observation, and documentation. The results of the study, namely the Quality of Service of the Population and Civil Registration Office of South Lampung Regency by the Tanjung Bintang District Team, measured by five dimensions from Zeithhanl, Parasurama, and Berry, namely physical evidence (tangible), reliability (reliability), responsibility, assurance, and empathy (emphaty), are good enough, but there are still shortcomings. The existence of the Tanjung Bintang District Team is very helpful for the village community in terms of taking care of population documents that no longer need to go far to Disdukcapil Kalianda, so that it is more effective and efficient. In addition, findings regarding inhibiting factors in service by the Tanjung Bintang District Team are: limited space, officers who have never been given training in public services, lack of human resources, tools that depend on each other, and internet network disruption.

Chemical oxidation co-coagulation-flocculation for the flotation wastewater treatment of lead-zinc oxide ore from Lanping mine
Authors: Gong Xiang , Guo Xiulan , Li Suqi , Yuan Jiaqiao , Ding Zhan , Yu Anmei , Wen Shuming , Bai Shaojun
Published: June 2024

The flotation wastewater produced by "lead preferred flotation-zinc flotation" all-open process with aids of mixed depressants and cationic-anionic collectors has a high turbidity and multitude of reagent contaminants, and fails to meet the discharge standards. This study objective is to remove fine solid particles and flotation reagents in this wastewater by chemical oxidation co-coagulation-flocculation process. Results of chemical oxidation tests indicate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) exhibits superior performance on decreasing COD, and the COD remarkably decreases to 71.8 mg·L-1 with 100 mg·L-1 PMS addition after 120 min. Moreover, the combined oxidation of radicals (SO4•- and •OH) are responsible for degradation of flotation reagents (Na2S, DCCH, xanthates and amine) in the wastewater. Results of experimental factors confirm that the turbidity of wastewater decreases significantly from 124796 to 71.4 NTU, and the yield of water reaches above 90% with combined usage of lime (500 mg·L-1) and polyacrylamide (PAM, 50 mg·L-1). Besides, the contents of S, P, N, Zn Pb and Fe decrease, and meet the discharge standards. Results of zeta potential analysis suggest lime reduces the electrostatic repulsion between particles, and PAM plays a bridge link role between particles, accelerating the precipitation of suspended particle.
Study on the mechanism of controlling the morphology of basic magnesium carbonate prepared under different hydration conditions
Authors: Yang Yang , Bai Limei , Ma Yuxin , Wang YuLian
Published: June 2024

Basic magnesium carbonate is gaining prominence in flame retardant materials due to its excellent flame-retardant properties and clean decomposition products. This study investigates a hydration-carbonation method to address challenges related to the preparation, morphology control, and stability of magnesium basic carbonate. The impact of hydration conditions on the morphology of the carbonate was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that spherical magnesium basic carbonate with regular morphology and uniform particle size can be achieved at a hydration temperature of 50°C for 1.5 hours. However, extending the hydration time and increasing the temperature resulted in irregular morphologies. Molecular dynamics simulations using the CASTEP and Forcite modules of Materials Studio were employed to understand the influence of hydration-carbonation conditions on the carbonate's morphology. The simulations revealed that the (1 1 1) and (2 0 0) crystal faces of MgO, with higher surface energies, promote the formation of precursor magnesium hydroxide nuclei, leading to heterogeneous magnesium alkali carbonate at elevated temperatures. Prolonged hydration time resulted in fragmented carbonate structures. To control the morphology of magnesium alkali carbonate, it is essential to optimize hydration temperature and duration. The simulation results corroborate experimental findings, providing deeper insights into the liquid-gas-solid adsorption relationships during the carbonation process. This study offers valuable guidelines for the controlled synthesis of magnesium basic carbonate, enhancing its applicability in flame retardant materials.

The Arms Trade Treaty: Assessing its Impact on Countering Diversion
Authors: Wood Brian
Published: June 2024

A core objective of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is to prevent and eradicate the illicit trade of conventional arms and prevent their diversion. Since 2020, the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), Conflict Armament Research (CAR), and Stimson Center have implemented a joint research project examining the progress made by States Parties to prevent, detect, and address diversion since the Treaty’s entry into force in order to identify and promote knowledge on effective counter-diversion measures. The report presents findings of this research and publish a new methodological tool that interested State Parties can use to assess the existence and efficacy of counter-diversion measures in their national context. It also takes stock of the ATT’s contributions to enhancing national and multilateral efforts to tackle diversion and discusses options and avenues to promote the establishment and strengthening of sustainable measures within the framework of the ATT that create an enabling environment for countering the diversion of conventional arms.
Exploring the Use of Technology for Remote Ceasefire Monitoring and Verification
Authors: Grand-Clément Sarah
Published: June 2024

Ceasefires play an important role in the prevention of further conflict and armed violence. Monitoring and verifying that the terms of a ceasefire agreement are respected plays a key role in ensuring an end to violence. Traditionally, ceasefire monitoring and verification has been human-led. In some circumstances, it can however be difficult deploy observers on the ground. While technology cannot replace humans in all aspects of the monitoring and verification of ceasefires, especially within dialogue and de-escalation efforts, technology can nonetheless support and complement human-led activities. This report explains what technological solutions are available to help monitor and verify ceasefires, outlining the respective technological advantages and limitations of each solution. The report also provides a series of guiding considerations around the use of technology, highlighting recommended issues to reflect upon before using technology to aid with ceasefire monitoring and verification

Second Menu of Indicators to Measure the Reverberating Effects on Civilians from the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas
Authors: Malaret Baldo Alfredo , Batault Francesca
Published: June 2024

Building on UNIDIR's First Menu of Indicators, this publication expands its focus areas to include impacts on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); food security; environmental degradation; and economic opportunity, with specific quantitative indicators presented for each of these four areas. These indicators can be used to capture, measure, compare and understand how the use of EWIPA impacts the survival, well-being and dignity of civilians in ways that are often overlooked or underestimated. These indicators are designed to help researchers document the broad range and scale of impacts and to enable identification of general and foreseeable patterns of harm resulting from the use of EWIPA, thereby contributing to the growing evidence base. It is expected that such data will help inform and renew the understanding of parties to conflict and all stakeholders (including humanitarian assistance providers) of the reasonably foreseeable reverberating effects, enabling them to develop, design or update appropriate doctrine, practice, strategy, tactics and programmatic responses in order to better protect civilians in conflict situations.
Addressing the Linkages Between Illicit Arms, Organized Crime and Armed Conflict
Authors: Pinson Lauren
Published: June 2024

Illicit arms and ammunition link conflict to crime as well as crime to conflict. Illicit arms can both enable and fuel an armed conflict, while different conflict phases provide opportunities for the diversion of arms and a potentially lucrative income source for organized arms trafficking networks. To date, there has been limited research examining the linkages between all three of these security challenges. In response to this knowledge gap, this issue brief – produced in collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) – explores the multiple connections between illicit arms, organized crime and armed conflict in relation to (1) the source of illicit arms supply, (2) the process of illicit arms acquisition, and (3) shifts in the dynamics of armed conflict and organized crime. It also provides key considerations to help inform responses to address these interrelated challenges by integrating conventional arms control measures, conflict prevention strategies, and criminal justice responses.
Uncrewed Aerial, Ground, and Maritime Systems: A Compendium
Authors: Grand-Clément Sarah
Published: June 2024

This compendium is intended to provide policymakers, diplomats and other non-technical interested parties with an introductory overview and comparison of technological developments and their security implications relating to uncrewed aerial, ground, and maritime systems. In 2022, UNIDIR released primers for each of the three domains in which uncrewed systems operate (air, land and sea). While each primer gives an in-depth introduction into each type of uncrewed system, this compendium provides a comparative overview that highlights the common developments and security implications of these systems, as well as what distinguishes them. The focus of the compendium is on describing the main areas of technological innovation and development related to the key components that comprise uncrewed systems, outlining the anticipated areas of progress and potential concern, as well as areas of overlap between key enabling technology across the three types of systems. This compendium aims to provide policymakers, diplomats and other non-technical interested parties with an introductory overview and comparative overview of technological developments and their security implications relating to uncrewed systems in the air, land, and maritime domains. The compendium, as well as the primers, also serve as technical guides on issues relating to uncrewed systems for use within frameworks and processes where such systems are relevant and discussed, such as the Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) on the continuing operation and relevance of the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms (UNROCA) and its further development, the Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty, and the GGE on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems.
Technologies to Counter the Diversion of Small Arms and Light Weapons, and Components of Conventional Weapons
Authors: Grand-Clément Sarah , Cops Diederik
Published: June 2024

There are many ways in which technology could help to counter the diversion of conventional weapons. Yet despite some discussions in international meetings on conventional arms control, we see limited evidence of technologies being used to strengthen or enhance efforts to prevent, detect, and investigate the diversion of conventional arms, their ammunition, and parts and components. This paper seeks to bridge this gap by presenting a needs-driven, systematic, and context-sensitive framework to identify and assess technologies that could strengthen efforts to counter the diversion of conventional arms and related components. The first step of this framework requires an understanding of the risks and methods of diversion, tailored to each specific type of conventional weapon and its life-cycle context. The second step examines the existing technologies which could help address the identified risk(s). The final step assesses the identified technologies according to the context(s) in which they would be applied, as well as against selected attributes the technologies should possess. The paper also provides two illustrations to show how the framework could be applied to small arms and light weapons on the one hand, and components of conventional weapons on the other.
Peacekeeping in Hostile Environments: The Impact of Illicit Arms on MINUSMA
Authors: Anders Nils Holger
Published: June 2024

Peacekeeping is getting more dangerous. Illicit arms, ammunition, and explosives are key factors in this increasingly hostile environment. The United Nations needs to adapt to ensure the safety of peacekeepers and their ability to implement mandated tasks. The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) illustrates both the possible dangers to current missions as well as lessons learned in efforts to mitigate the impact of illicit arms. This brief reviews MINUSMA’s experiences in these regards. It argues that greater efforts should be made to exploit the potential role of peacekeeping operations in monitoring and tracing illicit arms flows to enhance situational awareness and the fight against impunity.

Authors: De Groof Melanie , Bajon Theò
Published: June 2024

L'UNIDIR définit la gestion des armes et des munition (GAM) comme étant exercice de la supervision et de la gouvernance, en suivant le principe de la responsabilité, des armes conventionnelles et des munitions tout au long de leur cycle de gestion, y compris l'établissement de cadres, de processus et de pratiques nationaux pertinents pour l'acquisition sûres et sécurisées de matériel, le stockage, les transferts, le contrôle de l'utilisation finale, le traçage et l'élimination finale. Cette approche holistique est essentielle afin de garantir que les efforts visant à mieux réglementer les armes et les munitions sont entrepris en concordance avec les processus plus larges du secteur de la sécurité, de l'État de droit, de la réduction de la violence armée, de la lutte contre le terrorisme, ainsi qu’avec les efforts de la consolidation de la paix, et non pas de manière isolée et détachée. Cet Aperçu de Pays présente les principales conclusions de l'évaluation nationale de base en matière d'armes et de munitions, réalisée en décembre 2021 par le gouvernement de la République Togolaise, par l'intermédiaire de l'entité nationale désignée comme chef de file, la Commission nationale de lutte contre la prolifération, la circulation et le trafic illicites des armes légères et de petit calibre (CNLPAL), en coopération avec la Communauté Économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (CEDEAO) et l'Institut des Nations Unies pour la Recherche sur le Désarmement (UNIDIR). La publication s'appuie sur le rapport complet d'évaluation de suivi de base transmis par l'UNIDIR, en coopération avec la CEDEAO, au gouvernement de la République Togolaise et apporte un éclairage sur les capacités institutionnelles et opérationnelles existantes en matière de GAM, les défis rencontrés par les autorités togolaises aux niveaux stratégique et opérationnel ainsi que les options pour renforcer davantage le cadre national régissant la gestion du cycle de vie des armes et des munitions au Togo. L’Aperçu de Pays couvre la période allant jusqu'à décembre 2021 et ne reflète pas ou ne prend pas en compte les changements et les développements plus récents, y compris en ce qui concerne la GAM au Togo depuis décembre 2022. Néanmoins, la plupart des principales conclusions ainsi que les options identifiées pour renforcer davantage la GAM au Togo restent pertinentes et valables. L'UNIDIR encourage la communauté des Etats, les organisations régionales et sous-régionales et les partenaires internationaux concernés à consulter cet Aperçu de Pays sur la GAM au Togo, ainsi que ses séries d’Aperçu de Pays sur la GAM ainsi que les mises à jour annuelles, comme base afin de renforcer les politiques et les pratiques de la GAM à différents niveaux, ainsi que pour planifier, mettre en œuvre et évaluer les futurs programmes et projets liés à la GAM, et aux domaines connexes, au Togo et dans d'autres États africains respectivement.

Séminaire régional sur la prévention de l’éxtrémisme violent et la gestion des armes conventionnelles en Afrique de l’Ouest: rapport de synthèse
Authors: Douti Nakmak , Coulibaly Mohamed , Hofmann Ursign , Mottet Carol , Vecchioni Matilde , Yabouri Anselme
Published: June 2024

La violence armée est un phénomène complexe, dont les motivations varient selon le contexte, et où l’’utilisation d’’armes constitue un élément constant. L’Afrique de l’Ouest a assisté ces dernières années à l’évolution et à la multiplication des conflits locaux et transnationaux au travers de la création de groupes armés, notamment les groupes extrémistes violents. Cette tendance est favorisée par la présence et la prolifération des armes conventionnelles et de leurs munitions. Les réponses à cette montée de la violence armée et de l’extrémisme violent en Afrique de l’Ouest sont restées avant tout d’ordre militaire et sécuritaire. Elles sont ainsi devenues acceptées comme principal mode de gestion (non pacifique) des conflits, au détriment d’autres voies. Dans ce contexte, la question de la place des armes conventionnelles et de leurs munitions semble ne pas avoir été suffisamment considérée jusqu’à présent. Le lien entre la disponibilité et la prolifération des armes et de leurs munitions d’une part et la violence des groupes extrémistes violents d’autre part est aisément démontré. Ce lien est-il alors effectivement pris en compte dans les efforts pour prévenir durablement la prolifération de ces armes et l’extrémisme violent ? La Division Paix et droits de l’homme du Département fédéral des affaires étrangères (DFAE) de la Suisse, l’Institut des Nations Unies pour la recherche sur le désarmement (UNIDIR) et le Centre régional des Nations Unies pour la paix et le désarmement en Afrique (UNREC) ont organisé le « Séminaire régional sur la prévention de l’extrémisme violent et la gestion des armes conventionnelles en Afrique de l’Ouest », qui a eu lieu du 5 au7 décembre 2023 à Lomé, au Togo. Son objectif principal était de renforcer la contribution de la gestion des armes et munitions conventionnelles (GAM) aux efforts de prévention de l’extrémisme violent (PEV) et – réciproquement – en Afrique de l’Ouest et, ainsi, de stimuler une approche conjointe et durable entre ces domaines. Le présent rapport synthétise les points clés des discussions tenues pendant le séminaire.
Persepsi Masyarakat terhadap Dampak Limbah Tahu di Sekitar Sungai
Authors: Shaskia Nina , Yunita Irda
Published: June 2024

The tofu processing sector is quickly expanding in tandem with the popularity of tofu meals among Indonesians. Unfortunately, the tofu industri's rapid growth has not been matched by effective waste management, and as a result, many businesses continue to dump liquid waste directly into rivers without treatment. In the Krueng Daroy and Krueng Doy River sections of Banda Aceh, there are three tofu factories that directly dump liquid waste into the river and have the potential to damage the river. As a result, the goal of this study is to examine the public's perception of tofu waste's influence on the river ecosystem and to assess public comprehension of tofu waste's impact on the environment. The descriptive analysis method was used in this study. Questionnaires, observations, and interviews were used to gather information. After that, the data was descriptively processed and weighted. The findings are divided into three categories: public perception of aesthetics, public perception of smell, and public perception of the environmental impact of tofu waste. More than 90% of the respondents thought that tofu waste had a negative impact on the environment's aesthetics and produced stink. The public's impression of tofu waste in the river environment is 78.56 percent, which means that more than 75 percent of respondents believe tofu waste has an environmental impact. It is included in the "disturbing" category based on the average attitude rating of 785.6. This demonstrates that tofu waste has a detrimental environmental impact. As a result, business actors must get a better understanding of the impact of tofu waste on the environment, as well as the efforts that must be done to reduce that impact, such as constructing an appropriate Waste Treatment Plant (IPAL) or repurposing tofu liquid waste for other purposes.

A novel Rh-catalyzed one-pot homo-coupling reaction of aryl Grignard reagents was achieved. The reaction with bromobenzenes having an electron-donating group or a halogen substituent gave the corresponding homo-coupling products in good yields, although the reaction using heterocyclic or aliphatic bromides scarcely proceeded. A Rh(III)–bis(aryl) complex, which might be formed from RhCl(PPh3)3 and the aryl Grignard reagents, plays an important role in giving the homo-coupling products in this reaction. Furthermore, we applied the reaction to the synthesis of a novel inhibitor for integrins which is critical for several diseases.

Introduction. In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war and deteriorating economic performance, it is important for Ukraine to develop an innovative economic development strategy that should focus on several key areas that can ensure the country's competitiveness in the international market and promote Ukraine's economic development in the global context.
The purpose of the paper is to identify the necessary directions of development for Ukraine within the framework of an innovative strategy of economic growth in the global context.
Results. The paper emphasizes the importance of changing the economic situation of the country from an innovative point of view. In order to achieve economic growth in the global context, it is important to pay attention to the development of five main aspects. The first aspect is the sustainable development of energy resources. This mainly concerns alternative resources for the energy sector. Their sustainable development implies not only environmental and economic benefits, but also social benefits. The second aspect is the diversification of Ukraine's exports by mode of transport, goods and geography. In connection with the Russian-Ukrainian war, road and rail transportation are important. Diversification of raw materials should mainly concern equipment for production and processing of materials in the direction of the United States, Turkey, Georgia, Japan and China. The third aspect of ensuring Ukraine's economic growth in the global context is to ensure leadership in economic development through technology. However, the study found that special attention should be paid to the human factor and the development of digital literacy among the Ukrainian population working in various sectors of the economy. The fourth aspect is the attraction of foreign investment to the national economy. It was found that in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war there are significant determinants that affect the reduction of investment in Ukraine, but there are also determinants that have a positive effect. The analysis revealed that the most promising sectors for investment are the defense industry, energy, natural resources, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and innovative technologies. However, in order to bring investments to the market, such mechanisms as leasing, organization of venture capital companies, creation of free economic zones, joint ventures, creation of multinational companies, establishment of joint stock companies and concessions can be used. The fifth aspect of ensuring Ukraine's economic growth in the global context is the development of the startup ecosystem in Ukraine, which is currently at the initial stage of development.
Conclusion. Thus, despite the ongoing war on the territory of Ukraine, the national economy has all the opportunities and prospects for significant and rapid development on the international scale thanks to innovative strategies for the development of certain sectors of the national economy.

Published: June 2024

Introduction. In the current global and Ukrainian environment, both objective and subjective factors interact and influence business. Political instability, corruption risks, economic crises (in particular, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic), devaluation of the national currency and the war in Ukraine are factors that contribute to the aleatory nature of business. It is also important to take into account the views of stakeholders who point out the imperfection of legal support of internal control of business entities. This may lead to an underestimation of risks due to the impact of the above-mentioned factors. To reduce the negative impact, it is important to implement compliance measures, which are widely used in developed countries. These measures are becoming a key element in the integration of Ukrainian companies into the global economy.
The purpose of the paper is to analyze the features of compliance in the internal control system of a business entity. The object of the study is compliance in the internal control system. The subject of the study is the role and value of compliance in risk management and compliance with standards.
Results. The paper is devoted to the study of the concept of “compliance” in the internal control system of a business entity in order to improve its efficiency in the management system of banks in Ukraine and to ensure compliance with methodological recommendations and standards of corporate governance by professional participants of the stock market. The theoretical aspects of compliance, namely the definitions of authors in the scientific literature on this category are considered. The main types of compliance that are used for any business entities are highlighted. The features of the internal control compliance system to ensure the effectiveness of corporate governance are revealed, and also highlighted the priorities of the compliance function in foreign countries as a certain experience that requires purposeful implementation in our country.
Conclusions. The compliance system of internal control of a business entity is an integral part of strategic management and achievement of its goals. It is important not only to recognize the importance of compliance, but also to systematically integrate it into the company's culture. A well-developed compliance system allows a business entity to effectively manage risks, improve processes and strengthen its position in the competitive environment. Therefore, the improvement of the internal control compliance system is determined by the need to constantly analyze and adapt to changes in the internal and external environment. This contributes to improving the sustainability, reliability and business reputation of the enterprise in the context of the establishment of demanding standards of management and corporate responsibility.
