Abstract. The system diagnostics of enterprise financial security developed by the authors are based on taking into account the combined effect of the main elements of the financial stability management process. On the basis of the justification of the interdependence of the main components of an enterprise’s financial security (on the one hand, the types of financial stability and the liquidity of the balance sheet, on the other hand, their correlative effect on the level of financial security) the authors proposed a model for its evaluation. It has been proposed that the type of financial stability of an enterprise should be determined on the basis of the identification of the financial situation in accordance with the scale developed on the basis of the values of the main financial stability ratios. The type of liquidity on the balance sheet is based on a comparison of liquidity-based items of assets with maturities. The unified impact of types of financial stability and balance sheet liquidity on the level of financial security became the basis for the development a matrix for diagnostics the general position of financial security of the enterprise. Based on the established relationship between the degrees of financial stability and liquidity of an enterprise on the one hand, and the level of financial security of operating activities on the other, a model has been developed to assess the level of financial security of the enterprise’s operating activities. It has been proposed that the financial stability and liquidity of an enterprise should be determined on the basis of a three-tiered indicator by classifying financial situations within the established indicator scale: depending on the priority of selecting funds to finance the tangible portion of a negotiable asset and the sufficiency and composition of a negotiable asset to meet current liabilities. On this basis, a diagnostic matrix of the financial security position of the enterprise’s operational activities has been developed. The interconnection of the positions of the financial security of the enterprise and the unification of its level enabled the authors to develop a matrix of zones of the general position of the financial security of an enterprise where, depending on the combination of financial security levels, zones are distinguished from absolute financial security to financial danger. The testing of each element of the proposed enterprise financial security diagnostic’s system on the materials of a selected group of enterprises of the oil-and-fat industry confirms the practical significance of the developed tools in the process of managing their general financial security. Keywords: financial security, financial security level, financial security position, financial security of operating activities, financial stability, liquidity, oil-and-fat enterprises.

Purpose – The main purpose of the article is to justify an alternative approach to assessing the level of financial security of the enterprises based on use the model of modified and adjusted financial statements. Research methodology – The following methods of general theoretical and empirical research were used in the writing of the article: abstract-logical (when systematizing scientific publications on the problems of financial security management of enterprises), comparisons and grouping (when developing and validating a model of modified financial statements), coefficient (when considering and using models for adjusting modified financial statements), grouping (when clustering enterprises depending on the results of the analysis), formalization (when developing a matrix for diagnosing the level of financial security of enterprises), generalization (when formulating research findings). Findings – Based on an established sample from nine of sunflower oil production enterprises of Ukraine their modified financial statements have been developed, it was adjusted to the consumer price index, key financial indicators of the model have been identified and the level of their financial security over the past 7 years have been assessed. The research identified a direct relationship between the level of financial security of enterprises and key financial indicators: financial stability, solvency and financial risk. Also, the proposed methodological approach can be not only an important tool for diagnosing the level of financial security of enterprises, but also its forecasting. Research limitations – The research limitation is associated with sampling size and geographical scope. Also, the diagnostic results may differ depending on the chosen adjustment base, determination of adjustment method and selection of inflation measurement method for the modification financial statements. Practical implications – Practical use of the proposed model proves that it is a convenient, simple, understandable and effective tool for diagnosing the financial security level of enterprises in terms of the main components: financial stability, solvency, and risk. The use of the proposed approach to the assessment of the financial security of the enterprise can serve as an indicator of the overall efficiency of its management at sunflower oil production enterprises and as an informative tool for factor analysis. Originality/Value – Consideration of a significantly different, alternative approach that allows enterprises to quickly and easily diagnose the level of their financial security; to manage it effectively during the current period, and can also become the basis for the formation of strategic directions of financial development and forecasting of the level of financial security for prospective period.
Purpose. The purpose of the article is to develop a system for evaluation the state of financial security of operating activities of enterprises in oil-and-fat industry based on the coordination of the interaction of the main factors of influence and levels of its components. Methodology / approach. In the process of writing the article the following research methods were used: abstract-logical (at the systematization of scientific publications on the problems of management of enterprises in oil-and-fat industry, financial security of enterprises), grouping (by clustering enterprises depending on the obtained results), comparisons (by developing a model for assessing the degree of financial stability of operating activities of enterprises), coefficient (by developing a model for assessing the degree of liquidity of enterprises), formalization (by developing a matrix for diagnostics of the state of financial security of operating activities of enterprises), generalization (by formulating research conclusions). Results. In the process of research, the system of complex evaluation of degrees and levels of the main components of financial security of the operations activities of the enterprises in oil-and-fat industry was substantiated: a model for assessing the financial stability of operating activities and a model for assessing the liquidity of an enterprise. A diagnostic matrix for the financial security status of the operational activities of the enterprises in oil-and-fat industry was developed to define the security boundaries of the operation activity of enterprises. Approbation of the proposed system for assessing the financial security of operating activities on the materials of the selected group of enterprises in the oil-and-fat industry made it possible to analyze the dynamics of the state of the financial security of their operating activities. Originality / scientific novelty of the research is to develop tools for a comprehensive evaluation of the financial security of the operating activities of the enterprises in oil-and-fat industry. The method of determining the impact of the degree of financial stability and liquidity of the enterprise on the level of financial security of current activities was improved. For the first time, a nine-quadrant matrix of the state of financial security of operating activities of enterprises depending on the ratio of the degrees of the above factors was substantiated. Practical value / implications. The use of the proposed system of financial security evaluation of operating activities of the enterprise, according to the authors, can serve as an effective mechanism for managing the financing current activities of enterprises in oil-and-fat industry and become an informative tool for factor analysis in managing their overall financial security.
In order to diagnose internal financial threats to the financial security of domestic corporate enterprises, a three-pronged system of assessment of their financial security has been proposed, in which it is proposed to include a classic financial analysis tool, financial stability assessment toolkit and value management toolkit. Coefficient and discriminant statistical models are used within the classical tools of financial analysis. In order to increase the informativeness of the coefficient model and ensure its comprehensiveness, a matrix for diagnosing internal financial threats to the financial security of a corporate enterprise has been developed, in which the level of financial security is determined by assessing the state of financial performance, grouped into regulatory conformity classes. On the basis of discriminatory statistical models, a model is proposed for assessing the level of financial security of corporate enterprises, depending on the peculiarities of the scale of indicative values of the most popular models of bankruptcy risk diagnosis. To diagnose financial security, a model for assessing the financial stability of operational activities has been proposed as part of the financial stability assessment tool, that measures the level of financial security of corporate enterprises by classifying financial situations according to their degree of stability, depending on the composition and structure of sources of supply requirements for reserve formation. A matrix for diagnosing the internal financial threats to the financial security of a corporate enterprise based on the modified financial reporting model has been developed as a generic tool for measuring financial stability, which allows the determination of the level of financial security by linking indicators of financial stability, solvency and financial risk. Based on the modification of the financial equilibrium matrix, a model has been developed for diagnosing the internal financial threats to the financial security of the enterprise, according to which the level of financial security is determined by the financial soundness zone, depending on the forecasts of the special aggregates. Value-based management (VBM) and balanced scorecard (BSC) are justified to provide an effective strategic management tool with enhanced forecasting capabilities to assess the financial security of corporate enterprises and to propose appropriate tools based on the cascading of financial indicators.
The article is devoted to the consideration of modern financial instruments for diagnosing the level of financial safety of companies in the oil-and-fat industry. A threetiered system for assessing financial safety has been developed for the oil-extraction companies, based on a review of modern approaches to assessing financial safety. The system includes a classic financial analysis tool (coefficient model and discriminatory bankruptcy forecasting models), a financial stability assessment tool (definition of current financial stability and modified balance model), and a value-based management model toolkit «VBM-EVA-BSC»). It has been shown that the most popular approach to diagnosing the financial safety of a company in practice is the coefficient method, which includes estimation and analysis of key financial indicators: profitability, business activity, solvency, and financial stability. On the basis of the coefficient model, a diagnosis was made of the level of financial safety of the leading domestic vegetable oilextraction companies. The consolidation of the results made it possible to develop a matrix of strategic financial position of the internal financial environment of oilextraction companies. On the basis of the trends and prospects for further development of the oil-and-fat industry of Ukraine, a matrix of the strategic financial position of the external financial environment for the companies studied has been developed, which determines their development possibilities and potential threats. The combination of the two matrices of strategic financial position of oil-extractions companies has led to the development of a matrix of possible strategic directions for their financial development, with the identification of the desired financial strategy within the framework of the desired level of financial security.
