On the Issue of Digitalization of the Russian Budget Ecosystem

The article considers current issues of digitalization of the Russian budget ecosystem as a key element of modern public administration. The advantages of introducing digital technologies into the processes of budget planning, execution and control are studied, including increasing transparency, efficiency and reducing corruption risks. Particular attention is paid to the legal problems of digitalization of the budget ecosystem. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of digitalization of the budget ecosystem, identify key challenges and suggest areas for further development. The author draws attention to the fact that digitalization of the budget ecosystem, as a key tool for transforming public finance management, should be considered in two aspects: digitalization as a way of reflecting budget processes in electronic format and as a method of transforming the budgetary activity itself. The article concludes that for the effective implementation of measures to digitalize the budget ecosystem, it is necessary to improve budget legislation, supplementing it with separate provisions regulating the procedure and conditions for the use of digital technologies, which should contribute to the creation of a comprehensive legal regulation of the area in question. Today, individual issues of the use of electronic technologies in the budgetary environment are regulated only in specific areas, which requires additional legislative development.
