Abstract
In modern conditions, almost all companies use information technologies when keeping records. The widespread use of such systems is due to clear, legally approved standards and requirements for accounting and tax accounting, which allow organizing the operation of the information system. The methodological framework of the study was the methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as a critical assessment of the theoretical provisions of accounting and budgeting. Based on the analysis of the main characteristics of information technologies in the organization of the management accounting system, the principal approaches to their use are determined. The study of aspects of management accounting and budgeting in housing construction project companies allowed us to form a number of recommendations taking into account their industry-specific principles, the practical application of which will allow companies to create a reliable basis for making management decisions and improve business efficiency. In order to improve the efficiency of optimizing the preparation, processing and collection of information for the management accounting system, it is recommended to use digitalization based on the creation of an ERP system.
