The purpose of the article is to study the concept of corporate social responsibility in the construction sector. Conducting a comparative study using the methodology of studying specific cases of CSR-based activities in Russia and abroad allows us to establish a context for understanding how social responsibility is perceived and applied in practice in construction. The results showed that construction companies are aware of the growing importance of CSR, but there are problems limiting this process. The authors concluded that despite the differences in the approaches that organizations use in relation to the directions of social responsibility development, social orientation has become a significant factor for corporate social responsibility initiatives in Russia. The directions of development of corporate social responsibility are proposed.

The article considers the problems of budgeting development in the sphere of regional management from traditional (estimated) budgeting by costs to the new budgeting, aimed at the results of state structures activity. It is substantiated that the implementation of national and federal projects entails the need for the development, approval and implementation of many projects at different levels of state and municipal administration. It is noted that the transition to the new budgeting will allow to formulate the information base, adequate to the development strategy of the region and the vector of political decisions.
