Modern priorities of ensuring foreign economic security of Georgia

It is important to systematize conceptual approaches to ensuring external economic security in the context of global risks and threats. Basic approaches to the concept of economic security of the country and methods of fighting it are defined by different concepts. Among them, the institutional concepts of protection against cameralist, Keynesian and administrative barriers are noteworthy. Foreign competitors (according to F. Liszt), "market failure" (according to J. M. Keynes) and "state failure" (according to H. De Soto) can pose threats to the economic security of each country.

Important Issues of Preparation and Presentation of Internal Audit Results

Expanded Summary Internal audit is of great importance as it verifies the accuracy and reliability of financial statements. Credibility is the most important requirement for business success. Therefore, if there is corruption or possible financial violations in the company, this may be the reason for its final failure and closure.
