Updating of the institutional support documentation of the facts of economic activity of enterprises contributes to improving the organization of primary accounting.
The methods used to study documentary accounting records are based on dialectical scientific knowledge, complex analysis and synthesis, which are used to study the essence of the primary document in the historical perspective.

The results of studies indicate that in recent years the importance of primary documents in the confirmation and evidence of business operations for accounting and tax purposes, as well as in litigation, has increased. Primary documents serve as the sole basis for accounting records. The analysis of normative legal acts showed that the requirements for the compilation of primary documents have been mitigated; the number of mandatory requisites in them is reduced.
