    Abstract:
    The issues of various sanctions’ reflection in accounting systems of economic entities have always caused a lot of questions. Currently the number of disputes leading to fines, late fees and penalties for construction contracts has increased considerably in parallel with the growth of sanctions. All the above-mentioned leads to an increased interest in the legality and correctness of these sanctions’ calculation as well as to the organization of accounting and taxation of business operations. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop organizational and methodological recommendations of the reflection of penalties in the accounting system of business entities based on the specific sectoral character of the construction industry. The study implies the examination of the accounting regulations and legal acts defining legal relations of construction contracts’ parties along with the analysis of problems revealed by the survey that economic practitioners face and the consideration of economists’ opinions related to analytical accounting of various sanctions. The research has used the following general scientific methods of theoretical cognition as description, analysis and synthesis, data synthesis and formalization, abstraction and specification. As a result, eight subsequent stages of the definition, assessment and reflection of financial burden actors resulting from various types of violations of treaty relations have been defined and described. The consistent implementation of these recommendations paves the way for the timely and transparent provision of information allowing managers not only to control the costs involved, but also to identify perpetrators and responsible persons whose actions or inactions resulted in additional costs as well as to detect the cost centers and their impact on the financial outcome of individual contracts.
