Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to develop non-financial reporting of medium-sized agricultural enterprises of Ukraine through the definition of the main activities of the enterprise, which are subject to disclosure in non-financial reporting, to meet the information needs of internal and external stakeholders of such enterprises. Methodology / approach. The research methods are based on dialectical and systematic approaches to assessing the current state of non-financial reporting of Ukrainian enterprises. Methods of analysis and synthesis are used to determine the main activities of agricultural enterprises, which are subject to disclosure in non-financial statements, based on requests from interested users. To obtain data on information requests of internal stakeholders of the surveyed enterprises, continuous initial observation was applied, and external sample holders were subjected to continuous sample observation. Internal (in particular, the population units are employees and owners) and external (in particular, the population units are contractors, consumers, creditors, investors, government agencies, NGOs) stakeholders are selected as the object of observation. Results. According to the results of the study, in the formation of non-financial reporting agricultural enterprises of Ukraine should pay special attention to areas of activity that are of greatest interest to stakeholders: development and improvement of working conditions, investment in regional development, respect for human rights, implementation of CSR programs in the supply chain. The main activities of the company, which are subject to disclosure in non-financial reporting, provide an opportunity to meet the information needs of internal and external stakeholders. Originality / scientific novelty. Failure to meet information needs of both internal and external stakeholders of agricultural enterprises has necessitated the improvement of organizational and methodological approaches to the formation of non-financial reporting of agricultural enterprises by identifying the main activities of the enterprise to be disclosed in non-financial reporting. The use of these areas creates an opportunity for stakeholders to obtain data that provide integrated information on the activities of agricultural enterprises. Practical value / implications. Disclosure of information in accordance with certain main activities of the enterprise will reduce the cost of users to obtain, process and systematize data, which will reduce inefficient use of resources in the preparation, substantiation, implementation and evaluation of economic decisions, as well as increase analytical capabilities for its use in the interest of stakeholders. The identified main areas of activity can be used as a basis for developing a long-term strategy for the formation of non-financial reporting of the agricultural enterprise, which will simplify the preparation of information for its full disclosure. This will increase the level of transparency of enterprises and will serve as a tool for building their positive reputation.
