56. 
    on fixed assets requiring assembly – after assembly completion;
    
57. 
    on fixed assets not requiring assembly – after the item is submitted from supply subdivision to operating subdivision. If the operating division puts the received item in warehouse, so it is reflected in the accounting reporting as the item of fixed assets in store (in reserve).
    

3. 
   Accounting of investments in non-current assets is kept on the construction as a whole on individual objects of investments.
   
4. 
   Construction object is insulated builing or construction, type or complex of works which construction demands drawing up of design estimate documentation.
   
5. 
   Construction object is considered with all relating arrangements, equipment, furniture, inventory, auxiliary and support devices as well as if necessary with the attached utility facilities and general site works (leveling operation, improvement, planting etc.).
   
6. 
   Account of expenses is kept on a cumulative total from the beginning of construction of the item in section of accounting periods up to putting the items into opeartion or full production of corresponding works. Builder (customer of construction) keeps accounting of expenses on the account «Investments in non-current assets».
   
7. 
   The builder is a legal entity possessing a land plot on property or tenant rights and taken the decision to implement a program on construction of a complex of objects on this land plot, determining the methods of financial support of construction and performing work coordination for the program implementation.
   
8. 
   Construction in progress is the expenses of a builder for construction of objects from the beginning of construction up to putting into operation, accounted as capital investments on the account «Investments in non-current assets».
   

58. 
    on construction as a whole;
    
59. 
    on individual turns;
    
60. 
    on individual construction objects;
    
61. 
    on technological structure of expenses for construction objects.
    

9. 
   Expenses for individual construction object are grouped according to technological structure of expenses determined by estimate documentation for the corresponding object.
   

62. 
    for construction works;
    
63. 
    equipment installation works;
    
64. 
    acquisition of equipment surrendered for assembly;
    
65. 
    acquisition of equipment not requiring assembly, tools and inventory, equipment requiring assembly but meant for constant reserve;
    
66. 
    survey works;

  Accounting of transactions relating to share construction of objects
  

1. 
   There are two variants of conclusion of contracts of share construction of objects:
   

68. 
    The Company enters joint activity, which subject is object construction. A distinguishing feature of such contract is that under this contract all parties either invest monetary funds, so actually participate in the construction to one extend or another;
    
69. 
    The Company invests funds or accumulates funds of other persons for the object construction. In this case only one of the parties actially deals with construction (builder-customer), another party (parties) invests monetary funds to gain required results, it is the investor.
    

2. 
   In the first case parties’ relationship is reflected in accordance with the procedure established for joint activity.
   
3. 
   The Company’s investment in joint activity is reflected on the account «Financial investments. Investments under simple partnership agreement». Receipt of investment and expenses for construction are booked on a separate balance of joint activity of a party liable under the contract.
   
4. 
   Upon completion of construction the Company forms accounts payable relating to complete capital investments due to it, which are reflected on the account «Investments in non-current assets». Thus, putting of an object into operation comleted by construction (in the part belonging to the Company under the contract conditions) is reflected in the Company’s accounting reporting. This item of fixed assets being the property of two or more organisations is reflected in fixed assets of the Company in proportion to its share in the total value of the object.
   
5. 
   In the second case the Company’s actual investments (transfer of monetary funds or other property) are reflected in long-term accounts receivable on individual account «Settlements with different debitors and creditors » (including payment for services of a customer-builder).
   
6. 
   If the Company fulfills obligations of a customer-builder, so other investors’ money received by it is reflected as long-term accounts payable. In this case extra payment for the Company’s services (over expenses amount for construction) relating to supervision of construction and other works is reflected by the Company on sales record accounts (the account «Sales»).
   
7. 
   Upon completion of construction these expenses are transferred to investors (according to their share) for reflection of these expenses in the capital investments and their further crediting in fixed assets.
