Any open system of measurements, aimed at estimation of information objects in information space, creates the possibilities of results manipulation. The defining property of systems of measurement is their structuredness. In the context of the designated property of the system of accounting (financial) reporting and the algorithms of regions rating can also be referred to one level - formally structured systems of measurement, which creates the possibility of translation of the approaches of estimation of certainty of financial reporting to estimation of certainty of regional investment attractiveness. The authors methodology of estimation of misrepresentations in financial reporting, based on successive use of mathematical and statistical models (typology, clustering, multicriteria estimation) for construction of the resulting probabilistic model of integrated index, making it possible to reveal facts of misrepresentation of financial results of business activity and define the focus of the revealed misrepresentations, was developed and tested on existent populations to carry out the research.
