The article deals with generalization of theoretical aspects and practical recommendations on improving the system of management of current assets in modern conditions. The management object are current assets, was studied in detail to build an effective system. The relation of such concepts as "current assets", "circulating capital" is investigated, their common and different characteristics are determined. The grouping of current assets by different classification characteristics (sources of formation, composition, level of liquidity, nature of the organization, place in the reproduction process, form of operation, location) is carried out and their value in the production process is determined. It is substantiated that the grouping of current assets is first and foremost of practical importance, allowing to build a clear system of accounting and analysis of the presence and movement of current assets and to form an effective system of their management by individual types.             

The thorough analysis of the concepts in the scientific literature of the concept of "management of current assets" is carried out, it is distinguished several approaches to its understanding. The researches made it possible to form an author's definition of a system of management current assets. It is determined that current assets of the management system should be based on a comprehensive approach, the components of which are the objects and subjects of management, the purpose, basic principles and functions, methods and instruments of influence, formalized quantitative and qualitative criteria for achievement of purposes, as well as factors, that shape the environment of the object. The characteristics of each element of the system is presented, including in particular the subjects and objects of management, their interaction is considered, purposes and tasks are defined. It is determined that the functions of the management system are controlling, stabilizing and analytical, and the principles on which it is built - timeliness, unity, continuity, optimality and rationality. The implementation of the current assets management system implies the implementation of a number of sequential measures in the form of certain steps, which are considered in the paper. The proposed working capital management system will make it possible to predict the long-term management strategy of an entity and to improve its overall functioning.
