Evaluation of Enterprise Financial Safety
Abstract
The aim of the article is to develop a methodological approach to evaluation of the level of economic entity financial safety. It has been found that the enterprise activity is constantly subjected to internal and external threats, therefore under volatile market economic conditions it is important to form an effective system of management of its financial safety to avoid the bankruptcy and liquidation of the enterprise. The article presents a generalization of existing approaches to evaluating the level of financial safety of economic entities and their critical analysis. The methodical approach to evaluating the level of financial safety of economic entities is proposed. It is suggested to evaluate the level of financial safety qualitatively and quantitatively with the consequent comparing and contrasting of their results. It is proposed to carry out the quantitative evaluation by the method of fuzzy logic and the qualitative one by the method of hierarchy analysis. The evaluation of the level of financial safety was carried out at ten economic entities. It is determined that the qualitative evaluation of the level of business entity financial safety, unlike the quantitative one allows to determine not only the enterprise financial stability but also to assess its financial.
