The Forecasting Express-Model of the Energy Companies’ Financial State

Abstract

The paper focuses on a forecasting express-model of the financial state of an enterprise. This model includes forecasting the Profit&Loss statement and the Balance Sheet of the organization. The combination of these documents allows forecasting cash flow in an indirect form. We use open data on the financial statements of individual organizations. Estimates of the cash flow deficit have been carried out both for the power generation sub-sector as a whole and for the largest power generating organizations in Russia.
