The main directions of implementation of decentralization reform until its completion are step-by-step determined. The actual implementation of all planned activities outlines areas that hampered the further improvement of intergovernmental fiscal relations is complex and lengthy procedure.

In the process of research, general scientific and special research methods were used. In particular, the dialectical method of cognition allows to explore the theory of decentralization as a new management system. The methods of scientific research and determination of the principle of the complexity of the methodological base have allowed to ensure the objectivity and reliability of the main provisions of the conclusions.

Retrospective analysis and evaluation of indicators of local budgets are conducted, which helped to identify opportunities for improvement of life in each locality and in the country as a whole. The directions of effective use of financial resources of local communities, providing:
