Methodological Aspects Concerning Evaluation of the Financial Stability of Companies in the Crisis Economy Conditions

Abstract

The financial stability of a company is one of the most important criteria for assessing the situation of enterprises both for the current period and for subsequent periods of functioning. Of course, every enterprise wants to have business liquidity, otherwise the basis of entrepreneurship collapses; however, the purpose of doing business is to make a profit. An enterprise can make good profits, but at the same time have large liabilities, that is, debts. In this case, it is difficult to call the company financially stable. The onset of the economic crisis in the Russian Federation only prompts the conduct of such studies. Firstly, because it is necessary to understand how the situation in the country's economy as a whole affects a single enterprise, and secondly, what the prerequisites for this influence can be noticed in advance and how to try to prevent them. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that today in Russia there are a number of difficulties with assessing the status of organizations and their adequate comparison with reality. There are many different methods for assessing the financial condition and, in particular, the financial stability of a company. However, when choosing one of them, it is necessary to consider them in order to identify the shortcomings of their application to certain market conditions. Identification of these disadvantages of different theories will allow us to competently and reliably analyse the financial condition of various companies. It is also worth noting that this topic is relevant not only for the companies themselves. The presence of positive dynamics of financial stability indicators as an integral part of the financial condition of the enterprise is one of the most important bases of investment attractiveness. Therefore, not only a company itself is interested in such studies in the inside, but also other market entities from the outside.
