Assessment of the effectiveness of financial support for implemented high-cost government programs in the Russian Federation

The annual financial planning of revenues and expenditures of the Russian budget system leads to public disclosure of the fact of an increase in the amount of funds allocated for the implementation of state programs. At the same time, the growth of expenditures under the state program does not guarantee the automatic implementation of the principle of efficient use of budget funds, it depends on a number of factors, and their regular adjustment is necessary to achieve the goals and objectives. Adjusting and clarifying the timing, amount of funding and composition of activities within the framework of the state program allows you to adapt to changing conditions and identify weaknesses in the implementation of activities. This, in turn, requires a deep and objective assessment at each stage of the program’s execution. Changes to the state program should be based on careful analysis and factual data on the progress of implementation. If adjustments are not supported by a real assessment of effectiveness, there is a risk of misuse of budgetary funds. The article is aimed at conducting research in terms of financial support only for those government programs, the costs of which are significant for the country’s budget. Based on the results of the study, general conclusions are formulated and generalizing recommendations are given.
