Methods: the study is based on a systematic approach to the digital transformation of society. Within the framework of this approach, the use of the achievements of scientific and technological progress is considered: in public administration – for the purpose of breakthrough development of the country and the interconnected solution of socio-economic problems; in the business sphere – to improve the quality of economic activity and strengthen competitive benefits. Results: a review of the current state of the digitalizing society, the demand for digital services and satisfaction with the quality of their receipt, the readiness of Russian regions to provide electronic public services. The trends of digital transformation of public administration and the stages of evolution of digital maturity of the state are revealed. It is emphasized that the successful solution of the issues of the digital agenda by the state becomes a stimulating factor in the digital development of business structures. The analysis of digital trends in the business environment has shown their conjugacy with the digitalization of public administration in the presence of a number of differences. The key role of company management in promoting the ideology of digital transformation is noted. Since the use of digital technologies, along with positive effects, can pose a threat to human security, the preservation of his rights and freedom, it becomes necessary to use the concept of social responsibility in carrying out digital transformations of society. The principles of social responsibility in carrying out digital transformations are defined. Conclusions and Relevance: the processes of digital transformation have firmly entered into all spheres of society. Despite the technological nature, digital development should take place in the logic of a humanistic approach. It is based on the principles of morality, recognition of the inviolability of human rights, with the emphasis on the importance of social responsibility of all actors of digital transformation. At the same time, Russia should build its own model of digital transformation based on respect for dignity, freedom and human rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

The sample of scientific studies and analytical materials on which the study is based draws on the work of scientists and experts on the topic in the region under study. Results: the assessment of the current state of the infrastructure sector of South Africa was carried out. The reasons for the need for reforms in the field of investment policy in order to stimulate the development of infrastructure in general and the implementation of infrastructure projects in particular were clarified, key directions for its transformation were identified. The tools being introduced were described and visually presented. An assessment of the results achieved to date was given. Conclusions and Relevance: the process of transformation of the investment policy of South Africa in the field of implementation of infrastructure projects is not yet complete. The achievement of all the goals set is hampered by both external factors, such as the consequences of the spread of the COVID-19 virus and others, and internal crises. Nevertheless, the attempts made by the state to increase the effectiveness of investment policy to improve the situation with infrastructure in the country have positive results. If the ongoing efforts are implemented to overcome the funding gap and solve problems associated with the low level of success of infrastructure projects, South Africa will not only be able to significantly improve the current situation in the infrastructure sector, but also significantly improve economic performance, which will undoubtedly have a positive impact on increasing the country's competitiveness.

Purpose: of the article is to develop a methodology for assessing the formation of an enterprise human capital, which is based on the calculation of indices of formal and informal learning of its employees. Methods: this article is based on the key provisions of the theory of human capital. The focus of this research is the specific enterprise human capital. The questionnaire method was used, which allowed assessing the development of the enterprise human capital based on the opinions of its direct carriers – employees representing different professional groups. The index method was used. Based on the calculation of the indices of formal and informal learning, the composite indices of the formation of human capital were determined, reflecting the assessment of the actual learning of employees and the desired state in which they feel the need. Visualization of the obtained results is presented in the form of theperception map. Results: the article presents an improved methodology for assessing the formation of human capital of an enterprise. The assessment of the formation of human capital of various professional groups of employees of the enterprise is carried out. The conducted research has shown that the need for formal and informal learning in various professional groups is differentiated. The essence of the author's position is that one of the most important tasks of the enterprise for the development of human capital is the organization of formal and informal learning of its employees in accordance with the current and future needs of the enterprise itself. The prospects for the development of the enterprise human capital are seen in the development of its vocational education ecosystem by strengthening relationships with educational organizations and other providers of new progressive knowledge, and also by strengthening the relationship between formal and informal learning. Conclusions and Relevance: the approach to the assessment of the human capital development of an enterprise considered in the article allows us to give practical recommendations on optimizing the organization of learning of the enterprise employees. The results of the study can be used by the professional community, including business leaders, to form a strategy for the development of human capital.

Purpose: to assess the degree of growth of threats to the public sector, with an emphasis on their impact on the financial stability of local budgets, to consider the feasibility of using a set of budgetary and financial instruments by municipal authorities to counteract budgetary risks growing in crisis conditions. Methods: the study is based on the use of a systematic approach, general scientific methods, including analysis, synthesis, comparison, as well as the use of methods of economic and statistical analysis and processing of analytical data, analogies and scientific generalizations, a tabular way of visualizing research results. Results: the analysis and assessment of the factors of influence made it possible to substantiate the expediency of using by the budgets of the Moscow Region of a set of budgetary, financial, tax and other management tools that ensure an increase in the efficiency of budgetary impact on socio-economic processes during the period of crisis. Growing budget risks associated to a greater extent with the uncertainty and unforeseen economic situation and affecting the financial stability of local budgets are identified. The methodology for assessing the depth of the crisis state of budgets and determining the pace of a possible recovery of the economy of the municipal sector based on optimizing the indicators of budget revenues and expenditures, which helps to increasing financial stability, is proposed. Conclusions and Relevance: the approbation of the methodology for assessing the financial stability of local budgets in times of crisis has shown that administrations can more quickly and adequately respond to ongoing changes, find optimal, often non-standard ways to solve problems and reduce negative consequences, taking into account the fullest possible implementation of the functions provided for by the current legislature. The proposed approach creates an opportunity for building new systemic mechanisms for the interaction of municipal government bodies and other economic entities on a mutually beneficial basis. In the context of increasing budget tension, this enables the authorities to act proactively and quickly minimize threats to ensuring the sustainability of budgets, which is especially important for maintaining socio-economic territorial stability in this crisis period.
