This article examines the economic essence of digital governance in joint-stock companies, with a particular focus on banks operating under conditions of institutional and technological transformation. The study argues that digital governance should not be reduced to automation or IT adoption, but should be interpreted as a data-driven management system influencing decision quality, risk management, compliance, and financial stability. Using a systematic and comparative approach, the limitations of macro-level indices such as DESI and EGDI are identified in assessing corporate governance effectiveness. To address this gap, the paper proposes an integrated author’s indicator system and an integral evaluation model linking digital governance maturity with economic and risk-related outcomes. The findings provide a methodological basis for empirical analysis and practical application in banking governance

The paper examines the economic essence and theoretical evolution of digital governance in joint-stock companies, with a focus on joint-stock banks, under transformation. It argues that digital governance goes beyond IT adoption by reducing information asymmetry as well as agency and transaction costs, strengthening control and accountability, and enabling early risk identification. Using comparative and content analysis, the study contrasts key concepts, proposes an evolutionary model and a factor system, and formulates an author’s definition of digital governance. The results provide conceptual implications for improving governance architecture in banking organizations

As a result of the introduction of digital technologies, it is substantiated that the internal control system will transform from a traditional inspection mechanism into a proactive, real-time management tool. The need to automate the internal control system, integrate it with information systems, and apply a risk-oriented approach is also indicated. The research results are important for increasing the efficiency of management at enterprises, reducing financial errors, and ensuring the efficient use of resources

This article analyzes the “Business Entity Stability Rating” system implemented in Uzbekistan as part of efforts to enhance digital fiscal governance. The evaluation process is based on automated algorithms that assess legal entities through indicators such as tax discipline, financial transparency, documentation accuracy, and social responsibility. The study examines the correlation between rating indicators and actual economic performance, highlights sectoral and regional disparities, and explores methodological differences with the “CRM-NEW” monitoring system. Using the Kruskal–Wallis H test, a statistically significant relationship is identified between rating categories and tax risk levels, supporting the reliability of the assessment framework. The paper concludes with conceptual and practical recommendations for improving the rating mechanism.

This paper proposes a four-dimensional risk index model for designing internal audit programs in the public sector. The model integrates legal, financial, resource, and organizational risks to provide a comprehensive framework for risk-based audit planning. Through simulation involving hypothetical departments, the study demonstrates that aggregate risk scores can mask the diversity and specificity of underlying risk categories. By decomposing audit risk into distinct dimensions, the model enhances audit targeting, supports transparent decision-making, and aligns with international internal audit standards. It also proves particularly useful in environments with limited data availability. The model’s adaptability and clarity make it suitable for both manual and automated audit planning processes. While future enhancements could include dynamic weighting and digital integration, the model as presented already offers a robust and practical approach to prioritizing internal audit activities and improving public sector governance outcomes.

This article considers foreign experience as an important factor in ensuring the effectiveness and sustainable development of financial planning in enterprises. In developed countries, financial planning is carried out, first of all, in combination with market mechanisms, digital technologies and financial control systems. Efficient allocation and optimization of financial resources, the use of automated models for budgeting and forecasting, the implementation of modern risk management methods, compliance with international financial reporting standards, and ensuring financial transparency and accountability based on corporate governance principles are of great importance. At the same time, the experience of foreign enterprises shows the widespread use of innovative financing sources - venture capital, bonds, leasing and crowdfunding. The analysis of these experiences serves as an important methodological basis for Uzbek enterprises to improve the effectiveness of financial planning, strengthen competitiveness and accelerate the integration processes into world markets

The article considers new elements of regional development strategy with a focus on institutional and methodological aspects of planning socio-economic progress. Special attention is paid to the role of public participation in the processes of development and implementation of strategic documents, including such mechanisms as public hearings, expert consultations, focus groups, digital platforms of e-governance and, in particular, civic budgeting. The author analyzes both theoretical foundations and practical examples of the introduction of such tools in international practice (Brazil, Spain, France, China) and the prerequisites for their application in the Republic of Belarus. The author presents the key directions for improving the system of strategic planning at the regional level: legal framework, institutional infrastructure, approval procedures, monitoring and evaluation, as well as identifies the existing institutional barriers. It is demonstrated that strengthening the role of civil society and introduction of mechanisms for direct participation of the population in the distribution of budgetary resources contribute to increasing the transparency of public decisions, strengthening trust in the authorities and more accurately reflecting the interests of the local population. The conclusion is that it is necessary to integrate new approaches into the current system of state planning to ensure sustainable and balanced of regional development.
