The article summarizes today’s theoretical aspects of the notion ‘working assets’ and their management with focus on the most widely used in Russia ideas about this group of enterprise and organization assets. At the same time the author provides findings of academic research by classics of economic theory and finance management (F. Kene, A. Smith, D. Ricardo, K. Marx) and present day scientists and experts. While studying academic works by today’s scientists the most frequently used in Russia definitions of the notion ‘working assets’ were identified. The author gave explanations, which allow us to see the differences between non-current and working assets of business entities. Apart from that, the effective legal aspects of managing working assets by corporations were studied with focus on describing the procedure of their fixing in forms of periodical accounting and showing material costs. The article provides different types of working asset management, depicts groups of methods for working asset management and gives a list of the most widely used tools for effective management of working assets in the system of finance management of Russian corporations.
