Therefore, the urgent is the issue of working out an adequate accounting system for use of land and other natural resources. The first step in this direction is enhancing the theoretical and methodological base of accounting, including that through the implementation of evidence-based identification of its objects. The article provides the summary of main approaches to the concept of 'land resources' as an accounting object based on their specific characteristics (bounded territories, fertility and renewal ability).
