The methodological basis of the paper is a systematic comprehensive approach to the study of social, financial, and economic problems, as well as general methods of scientific knowledge: sampling, grouping, comparison, generalization. The study shows that PTM practices for overcoming challenges of the Russian economy are characterized by inconsistencies that require a comprehensive approach to program-based and targeted planning, control, and monitoring system development. The research allowed us to update the special partnership model of control and accounting institutions of the modern state, its role in the development of the process of financial monitoring of state programs, and PTM tools. Based on the experience of certain regions the authorsconcludethe necessity to introduce project management, key performance indicators, digitization strategies, and remote financial monitoring practices for the activities of the control and accounting bodies. Additionally, control and accounting bodies should develop a proactive partnership model of monitoring rather than a competitive one.
