The article analyzes the office documentation of the Nalchik district administration: orders, reports, invoices, information, and statements. On its basis, the issues of interaction between government structures at the regional, district and precinct levels and local governments on the organization of celebrations and public catering at the expense of public funds were studied. The main directions of document flow of government and self-government institutions within their competence in organizing catering at public events are analyzed. A conclusion is drawn about the process of organizing and budgeting ceremonial events to celebrate the coming of age of the Heir to the Throne in the villages of the Nalchik District. A review of event and financial reporting on celebrations was conducted. Treasurers and village gatherings play an important role in handling public monies for festive activities. At the same time, the role of village authorities was highlighted, whose responsibilities included resolving organizational concerns related to the celebration.
