Methodological Aspects of Assessing a Non-Profit Organization’s Influence on Ensuring of Economic Security

Abstract

—The modern economy is characterized by a variety of economic entities being participants in economic processes. Alongside business organizations, non-profit sector organizations are increasingly being involved in economic activity. Such organizations combine the status of the civil society institution with the functions of a producer or supplier of socially significant public goods. The organizations carry out economic activities under conditions of instability and uncertainty, which are caused by external and internal factors. These factors generate a significant number of risks, which as a result create threats to the very existence of the economic entity. The practical application of the economic security concept allows us to develop and implement systemic measures that neutralize or reduce the negative consequences of forecast threats for economic entities at the macro and micro levels, including non-profit organizations. This article is devoted to the problem of searching and generalizing indicators that allow an objective assessment of non-profit organization economic security in the modern world.
