Based on this thesis, the article clarified and supplemented by classification signs spending on socially responsible activities of enterprises.

Keywords:
corporate social responsibility, socially responsible activities, social costs, costs on social responsible activity, cost of providing social package.
Text

Достижение баланса экономических и социальных целей предприятия является тем исходным принципом, на котором должен базироваться процесс развития социально ориентированной экономики в целом и института социальной ответственности бизнеса в частности. Информация, отражающая результаты достижения целей экономического и социального характера, является основой взаимодействия каждого экономического субъекта и общества.

В современных рыночных условиях система менеджмента нуждается в информации о состоянии и результатах финансирования социальных программ и мероприятий, проводимых в рамках социально ответственной деятельности. При этом первостепенное значение для систематического и гармоничного ведения социально ответственной деятельности, а также информирования общества о ее последствиях и результатах имеют исследования, направленные на изучение прикладных аспектов управления расходами на социально ответственную деятельность.

В свою очередь, отсутствие в отечественном законодательстве четкого, однозначного определения категорий «социальные расходы», «расходы на социально ответственную деятельность», перечня таких расходов (не говоря в целом о направлениях социально ответственной деятельности) обусловливает актуальность исследования теоретических основ таких расходов.

Исследованию проблем идентификации, анализа и прогнозирования социальных расходов посвящено значительное число работ таких ученых, как Н.М. Головай, Ю.В. Крот, С.О. Левицкой, В.С. Лень, О.И. Мокрецовой, Л.В. Нападовской, О.И. Пацулы, Ю.Ю. Чебан, О.В. Юрченко [1–14, 17, 18] и др.
