The theoretical bases of responsibility accounting are investigated. Variability of business conditions require the effective management to ensure it’s sustainable development. Effective management is possible if management system is ensured with true, actual, timely and relevant information. The last is possible in conditions of rational organization of responsibility accounting, which are impossible without understanding the goul of responsibility accounting. Along with considerable attention to this issue in scientific accounting methodology literature, there are some uncertainties: interpretations about purposes of responsibility accounting are different, hence it’s direction is different too. The interpretations of responsibility accounting goul in the economic literature and it’s transformation under the modern enterprise conditions influence are analyzed. The result of research is that goul of responsibility accounting can be defined as collection, accumulation and generalization of information about costs, revenue, profits or investments in each center of responsibility, so that deviation from the center’s target can be attributed to a particular person. Using the suggested recommendations at methodological and technical stage of responsibility accounting organization will make closer responsibility accounting centers to modern business conditions of enterprises.
