Introduction. There is a significant number of definitions of the term “financial resources” in the scientific literature, but, unfortunately, a single approach to it hasn’t been formed yet. Financial resources in housing construction have their own characteristics, as monetary settlement operations carried out through a financial intermediary may involve a phased investment and repayment of debts and require a true reflection of financial transactions in financial and management accounting, reporting.

There are many problems in construction related to the freezing of residential buildings due to lack of financial resources; underestimation of the market value of square meters of residential buildings; incomplete reflection of business transactions on the receipt and use of financial resources.
