1. FINANCIAL (ACCOUNTING) REPORTING - INFORMATION BASE FOR FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

1.1. Purpose, basic concepts, tasks of financial reporting analysis

Financial statement analysis is the process by which we evaluate the past and current financial position and performance of an organization. However, the main goal is to assess the financial and economic activities of our organization relative to future conditions of existence. Financial (accounting) reporting is the information base of financial analysis, because in the classical sense, financial analysis is the analysis of financial reporting data. Financial analysis is carried out in different ways, depending on the task at hand. It can: be used to identify problems in managing production and commercial activities; serve to evaluate the activities of the organization’s management; be used to select areas for capital investment, and finally, act as a tool for forecasting individual indicators and financial activity in general

Analysis is a tool for cognition of objects and phenomena of the internal and external environment, based on the analysis of the whole into its component parts and the study of their interrelation and interdependence. Economic analysis is a system of specialized knowledge associated with the study of economic processes and phenomena in their interrelation, developing under the influence of objective and subjective factors.

Financial analysis, as part of economic analysis, represents a system of certain knowledge associated with the study of the financial position of an organization and its financial results, which are formed under the influence of objective and subjective factors, based on financial reporting data. The content of financial analysis is determined by its goals, objects of study and subject matter and, in essence, provides an answer to the questions: what is being studied, how and why the analysis is carried out. The purpose of analyzing financial statements is to obtain key (the most informative) parameters that provide an objective and most accurate picture of the financial condition and financial performance of the enterprise. The goal of the analysis is achieved as a result of solving a certain interrelated set of analytical problems. The analytical task is a specification of the goals of the analysis, taking into account the organizational, informational, technical and methodological capabilities of the analysis. The object of analysis is what the analysis is aimed at. Depending on the objectives, the objects of analysis of financial statements can be: the financial condition of the organization, or financial results, or the business activity of the organization, etc. The subject of analysis is a person engaged in analytical work and preparing analytical reports (notes) for management, that is, an analyst. Financial analysis solves the following problems

1) assesses the structure of the organization’s property and the sources of its formation; 2) reveals the degree of balance between the movement of material and financial resources; 3) evaluates the structure and flows of equity and debt capital in the process of economic circulation, aimed at extracting maximum or optimal profit, increasing financial stability, ensuring solvency, etc.; 4) evaluates the correct use of funds to maintain an effective capital structure; 5) assesses the influence of factors on the financial results of operations and the efficiency of use of the organization’s assets; 6) exercises control over the movement of the organization’s financial flows, compliance with norms and standards for the expenditure of financial and material resources, and the feasibility of spending. In today's conditions, most enterprises are characterized by a “reactive” form of activity management, i.e. making management decisions in response to current problems. This form of management gives rise to a number of contradictions between: the interests of the enterprise and the fiscal interests of the state; cost of money and profitability of production; return on equity and profitability of financial markets; interests of production and financial services, etc. Analysis of financial statements acts as a tool for identifying problems in managing financial and economic activities, for choosing directions for investing capital and forecasting individual indicators. One of the objectives of enterprise reform is the transition to managing financial and economic activities based on an analysis of the economic situation, taking into account the setting of strategic goals for the enterprise’s activities that are adequate to market conditions, and the search for ways to achieve them. The results of the financial and economic activities of an enterprise are of interest to both external market agents (consumers and producers, creditors, shareholders, investors) and internal ones (employees of administrative and management departments, enterprise managers, etc.). The main strategic objectives of the development of any organization in a market economy include

Optimizing the capital structure of the enterprise and ensuring its financial stability; profit maximization; ensuring the investment attractiveness of the enterprise; creation of an effective enterprise management mechanism; achieving transparency of the financial and economic state of the enterprise for owners (participants and founders), investors, creditors; the enterprise's use of market mechanisms to attract financial resources. The optimality of management decisions made depends on different directions of the enterprise’s development policy:

from the quality of economic analysis; from the development of accounting and tax policies; from the development of directions for credit policy; from the quality of management of working capital, accounts payable and receivable; from the analysis and management of costs, including the choice of depreciation policy.

The importance of the financial analysis of an organization here can hardly be overestimated, since it is the basis on which the development of the economic strategy of the enterprise is built. The analysis is based on indicators from interim and annual financial statements. It is advisable to carry out a preliminary analysis before preparing accounting (financial) statements, when it is still possible to change a number of balance sheet items. Based on the data from the final analysis of the financial and economic situation, almost all directions of the economic (including financial) policy of the enterprise are developed. The effectiveness of management decisions depends on how well it is carried out. The quality of the financial analysis itself depends on the methodology used, the reliability of the financial reporting data, as well as on the competence of the person making the management decision. Economic analysis, as is known, is used to study economic processes and economic relations that arise among organizations. Economic relations arise at all stages of the reproduction process, at all levels of management. At the same time, homogeneous economic relations characterizing one of the aspects of social existence, presented in a generalized abstract form, form an economic category. Finance, expressing production relations that actually exist in society, having an objective nature and a specific social purpose, acts as an economic category. The distribution and redistribution of value through finance is necessarily accompanied by the movement of funds, which take a specific form of financial resources. They are formed by business entities and the state at the expense of various types of cash income, deductions and receipts, and are used for expanded reproduction, material incentives for workers, for social needs, etc. Let's consider the financial model of the organization's economic activities (Fig. 1.1). It illustrates the formation of invested capital from equity and borrowed capital. Capital can be invested either in fixed or current assets, or - if there is some surplus - directed towards external investment. The part converted into working capital is spent on raw materials and materials and on converting them into finished products and goods, as well as converting all this into money. The flow of money to suppliers is interrupted by creditors in the same way that the debtor “barrier” slows down the return of money coming into circulation. The process of converting purchased materials into the final product involves spending money on labor, rent, taxes, insurance, utilities, etc. Some fixed assets are used entirely in the form of depreciation. In addition, there are many administrative expenses in the organization, which also require money. The sale of finished products (works, services) and goods can be carried out through direct payments or on credit. In the latter case, debtors slow down the process of cash flow into the organization. If an organization has invested money in external projects, then interest on investments comes from the “border” of working capital in the form of income from other non-operating activities. Finally, some money will be lost due to taxes, interest on the loan and other financial expenses. Cash turnover is a reflection of the relationships between participants in the production process. Financial activity as part of economic activity includes all monetary relations associated with the production and sale of products, reproduction of fixed and working capital, generation and use of income. Rice. 1.1 Financial model of economic activity

1.2. Concept, composition and procedure for filling out financial (accounting) reporting forms

The main source of information for financial analysis is financial (accounting) reporting. Accounting statements are a unified system of data on the property and financial position of an organization and the results of its economic activities, compiled on the basis of financial accounting data in order to provide external and internal users with generalized information about the financial position of the organization in a form that is convenient and understandable for these users to accept certain business decisions.

The organization must prepare interim financial statements for the month, quarter, on an accrual basis for the reporting year, unless otherwise established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. When forming financial reporting indicators, it is necessary to be guided by

Federal Law “On Accounting” dated 21L 1.96 No. 129-FZ; Accounting Regulations “Accounting Statements of an Organization” PBU 4/99, approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated July 6, 1999 No. 43n; Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated January 13, 2000 No. 4n “On the forms of financial statements of organizations”; Methodological recommendations on the procedure for financing the financial statements of an organization, approved by order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated June 28, 2000 No. 60n. This block of regulatory documents is related to the implementation of the Accounting Reform Program in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 1.2.1. On the scope of financial statements New approaches to the preparation of financial statements are expressed in the rejection of standard forms of financial statements, i.e. from the same set of indicators about the organization’s work, regardless of the type of activity, scale of production, legal form, etc. As practice has shown, standard forms for some organizations were redundant in terms of the provided indicators, while for others they were insufficient. In this regard, there are three possible options for generating financial statements with conventional names: simplified, standard and multiple. A simplified version is for small businesses and non-profit (except budget) organizations. In this case, a number of forms are not included in the annual financial statements - Statement of changes in capital (Form No. 3), Statement of cash flows (Form No. 4), Appendix to the balance sheet (Form No. 5). For non-profit organizations

Nationalizations are recommended to additionally include in their annual financial statements a Report on the intended use of funds received (Form No. 6). The standard option is for commercial organizations belonging to the group of medium and large organizations. This option involves the formation of financial statements in relation to the sample forms shown in the appendix to order No. 4n, if the indicators given in these sample forms allow one to comply with the general requirements for financial statements set out in GTBBU 4/99, the rules for evaluating items of financial statements, as well as disclosure requirements contained in accounting regulations. Multiple option - for commercial organizations belonging to the group of largest organizations, and large organizations with several types of activities. With this option, the number of forms that make up the organization’s financial statements, as well as the variability in the presentation of reporting information, increases significantly for a number of reasons. Thus, it is advisable, instead of one form No. 5 (Appendix to the balance sheet), to present the indicators of its individual sections in the form of independent forms of financial statements, or to include a section characterizing the amount of current expenses incurred by the organization as an appendix to Form No. 2 (Profit and Loss Statement ). Information on segments (operational and geographic) plays an important role in large companies.

However, in terms of the preparation of financial statements, it is possible to identify a fourth option for a separate group of organizations - joint-stock companies whose securities are quoted on the stock market. They, along with financial statements prepared in accordance with Russian rules, prepare annual financial statements based on the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and present them to the organizer of trading on the securities market, investors and other interested parties at their request. Since January 1, 2000, annual financial (accounting) statements in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated January 13, 2000 No. 4n include the following forms: - Balance sheet (form No. 1); - Profit and loss statement (form No. 2); - Report on changes in capital (form No. 3); - Cash flow statement (form No. 4); - Appendixes to the balance sheet (form No. 5); - Report on the intended use of funds (form No. 6); - explanatory note; - the final part of the audit report.

1.2.2. Requirements for the reliability of reporting

When an organization independently develops financial reporting forms based on the sample forms given in the appendix to the order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated January 13, 2000 No. 4n “On forms of financial reporting of organizations”, the general requirements for financial reporting must be observed (completeness, materiality, neutrality , comparability, comparability, etc.). Financial statements must include information necessary to form a true and complete picture of the financial position of the organization, the financial results of its activities and changes in its financial position. If there is insufficient data to form a complete picture of the financial position of the organization, the financial results of its activities and changes in its financial position, then the organization includes relevant additional indicators and explanations in the financial statements. At the same time, the neutrality of the information contained in the financial statements must be ensured, i.e., the unilateral satisfaction of the interests of some groups of interested users of financial statements over others must be included. If, through selection or presentation, information influences the decisions and evaluations of users to achieve predetermined results, the information is not neutral. Data from the financial statements of the organization must include performance indicators of all branches, representative offices and other divisions (including those allocated to separate balance sheets). Indicators about individual assets, liabilities, income, expenses and business transactions, as well as components of capital, must be presented in the financial statements separately.

Especially in cases of their significance and if without knowledge of them by interested users it is impossible to assess the financial position of the organization or the financial results of its activities. Each material item must be presented separately in the financial statements. Immaterial amounts of a similar nature or purpose may be combined and not presented separately. An indicator is considered significant if its non-disclosure may affect the economic decisions of interested users made on the basis of the reporting information. The organization's decision on whether a given indicator is significant depends on the assessment of the indicator, its nature, and the specific circumstances of its occurrence. At a minimum, an organization must disclose in its financial statements data on groups of items included in the balance sheet and items included in the profit and loss statement, in accordance with the requirement of the Accounting Regulations “Accounting Statements of an Organization” PBU 4/99. Explanation of the corresponding indicators of groups of balance sheet items or profit and loss statement items, taking into account the size and characteristics of the data included in the group of balance sheet items or profit and loss statement items, can be provided by the organization directly in the above forms (as “including” or “of these” to the relevant groups of items or items) or in the notes to the balance sheet and income statement. It should be borne in mind that an amount is considered significant if its ratio to the total of the relevant data for the reporting year is at least five percent. An entity may decide to apply a criterion different from the above for the purposes of reporting material information in the financial statements. When drawing up a balance sheet, profit and loss statement and explanations thereto, an organization must adhere to the contents and forms of financial statements adopted by it in the established manner from one reporting year to another. In this case, if one or another article (line, column) provided for in the form adopted by the organization is not filled out, due to the organization’s lack of relevant assets, liabilities, income, expenses, or business transactions during the reporting period, this article (line, column) is crossed out.

For each numerical indicator of financial statements, except for the report prepared by a newly created organization for the first reporting period, data must be provided for at least two years - the reporting year and the one preceding the reporting one. If an organization decides to disclose data for each numerical indicator for more than two years (three or more) in the financial statements presented, then the organization must ensure comparability of data for all periods. Comparative information for each numerical indicator can be included directly in the reporting forms accepted by the organization (including in the form of separate tables included directly in the forms of the balance sheet or profit and loss statement after the indicators, in the Appendix to the balance sheet (form No. 5), in forms developed and adopted by the organization independently) or in an explanatory note. The financial statements of the organization must ensure comparability of the reporting data with indicators for the previous reporting year (years) or corresponding periods of previous reporting periods based on changes associated with the application of the Accounting Regulations “Accounting Policies of the Organization” PBU 1/98, legislative and other regulations acts, taking into account the reorganization carried out, etc. If the data for the period preceding the reporting period are not comparable with the data for the reporting period, then the first of these data are subject to adjustment based on the rules established by regulatory acts on accounting. Each material adjustment must be disclosed in the notes to the balance sheet and income statement along with the reasons for the adjustment.

1.2.3. Users of financial statements

The user of financial statements is a legal or natural person interested in information about the organization. Financial statement analysis work must satisfy many requirements. The range of users of the information contained in financial documents includes various categories - from serious analysts to casual “amateurs”. They all use information about your organization, but with varying degrees of understanding and competence. In PBU 4/99, a user of financial statements is defined as a legal entity or individual interested in information about the organization. Financial reporting in Russia is of interest to two groups of external and one group of internal users

External users: 1. Users directly interested in the activities of the organization; 2. Users indirectly interested in it. The first group of external users includes the following users: 1) the state, primarily represented by the tax authorities, which check the correctness of the preparation of reporting documents, calculation of taxes, and determine tax policy; 2) existing and potential lenders who use reporting to assess the feasibility of providing or extending a loan, determining loan terms, strengthening loan repayment guarantees, and assessing trust in the organization as a client; 3) suppliers and buyers who determine the reliability of business relations with a given client; 4) existing and potential owners of the organization’s funds, who need to determine the increase or decrease in the share of their own funds and evaluate the effectiveness of the use of resources by the organization’s management; 5) external employees interested in reporting data in terms of salary levels and job prospects in a given organization. The second group of external users of financial statements are those who are not directly interested in the activities of the organization, but they need to study the statements in order to protect the interests of the first group of users of the statements. This group includes

1) audit services that check the compliance of reporting data with established rules in order to protect the interests of investors; 2) financial consultants who use the statements to make recommendations to their clients regarding the placement of their capital in a particular company; 3) securities exchanges, evaluating the information presented in the reports when registering relevant organizations, making decisions to suspend the activities of any company, assessing the need to change accounting and reporting methods; 4) legislative bodies; 5) lawyers who need reporting information to assess the fulfillment of contract terms, compliance with legislative norms in the distribution of profits and payment of dividends, as well as to determine the conditions of pension provision; 6) the press and news agencies that use reporting to prepare reviews, assess development trends and analyze the activities of individual companies and industries, and calculate general indicators of financial activity; 7) government statistical organizations that use reporting for statistical generalizations by industry, as well as comparative analysis and evaluation of performance at the industry level; 8) trade unions interested in reporting information to determine their requirements regarding wages and terms of employment agreements, as well as to assess trends in the development of the industry to which the organization belongs. Internal users of reporting include: 1) senior management of the organization; 2) managers at the appropriate levels, who, based on reporting data, determine the correctness of the investment decisions made and the efficiency of the capital structure, determine the main directions of the dividend policy, draw up forecast reporting forms and carry out preliminary calculations of financial indicators for the upcoming reporting periods, evaluate the possibilities of a merger with another organization or its acquisition, structural reorganization.

1.2.4. Reporting period and reporting date

The reporting year for all organizations is the calendar year - from January 1 to December 31 inclusive. Reporting date is the date as of which the organization must prepare financial statements.

For the purpose of preparing financial statements, the reporting date is considered to be the last calendar day of the reporting period. The organization must prepare periodic financial statements no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period, unless otherwise provided by the legislation of the Russian Federation. The first reporting year for newly created organizations is considered to be the period from the date of their state registration to December 31 of the corresponding year, and for organizations created after October 1 - to December 31 of the following year. Data on business transactions carried out under the state registration of organizations are included in their financial statements for the first reporting year. Monthly and quarterly reports are interim and are compiled on an accrual basis from the beginning of the reporting period. In accordance with the Accounting Regulations “Events after the reporting date” (PBU 7/98), the procedure for reflecting events after the reporting date in the financial statements of commercial organizations is established. An event after the reporting date is recognized as a fact of economic activity that has had or may have an impact on the financial condition, cash flow or results of operations of the organization and that occurred in the period between the reporting date and the date of signing the financial statements for each year. The announcement of annual dividends based on the results of the joint-stock company's activities for the reporting year is also recognized as an event after the reporting date. Events after the reporting date include: events confirming the existence at the reporting date of the economic conditions in which the organization conducted its activities; events indicating the emergence of economic conditions in which the organization operates after the reporting date. An approximate list of facts of economic activity that can be recognized as events after the reporting date is given in the appendix to Regulation PBU 7/98.

1.2.5. Procedure for drawing up reporting forms

When preparing financial statements, it should be borne in mind that the accounting process in organizations is carried out on the basis

From the accounting policy adopted by them in accordance with the Accounting Regulations “Accounting Policy of the Organization” PBU 1/98, which presupposes the property isolation and continuity of the organization’s activities, the sequence of application of the accounting policy, as well as the temporal certainty of the facts of economic activity. The accounting policy must also meet the requirements of completeness, prudence, priority of content over form, consistency and rationality. In accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Regulations “Accounting Statements of an Organization” (PBU 4/99), offsetting between items of assets and liabilities, items of profit and loss is not allowed in financial statements, except in cases where such offset is provided for by the relevant accounting provisions. The balance sheet must include numerical indicators in a net valuation, i.e. minus regulatory values, which must be disclosed in the notes to the balance sheet and profit and loss account. Taking this into account, in the balance sheet, data on intangible assets and fixed assets are presented at their residual value (with the exception of tangible assets and fixed assets, for which depreciation is not accrued in accordance with the established procedure). If an organization that has investments in shares of other organizations listed on the stock exchange, the quotation of which is regularly published, forms at the end of the reporting year a reserve for the depreciation of investments in securities at the expense of the financial results of the organization, the balances of the corresponding financial investments are in the annual balance sheet are reflected at market value if the latter is lower than the value accepted for accounting. In the liabilities side of the balance sheet, the amount of the reserve formed for the depreciation of investments in securities and recorded in the corresponding account is not reflected separately. If an organization creates, in accordance with the established procedure, reserves for doubtful debts for settlements with other organizations and citizens for products, goods, works and services, with the amounts of reserves attributed to the financial results of the organization, the accounts receivable listed in the accounting records for which the reserves were created is shown in the balance sheet in the amount minus the formed reserve. In this case, the amount generated

The reserve called for and reflected in the accounting records is not reflected separately in the liability side of the balance sheet. When preparing financial statements, the requirements of accounting provisions and other regulatory documents on accounting must be met for the disclosure in financial statements of information about changes in accounting policies that have had or may have a significant impact on the financial position, cash flow or financial performance of the organization, about transactions in foreign currency, on inventories, on fixed assets, on income and expenses of the organization, on the consequences of events after the reporting date, on the consequences of contingent facts of economic activity, as well as on the disclosure in the financial statements of certain information about assets and capital and the organization's reserves and liabilities. Such disclosure can be made by the organization by including relevant indicators, tables, transcripts directly in the financial reporting forms or in the explanatory note. When reflecting data in financial statements, it should be borne in mind that if, in accordance with regulatory documents on accounting, an indicator is subtracted from the corresponding indicators (data) when calculating the relevant data (interim, total, etc.) or has a negative value, then in the financial statements this indicator is shown in parentheses (uncovered loss, cost of goods sold, products, works, services, loss on sales, interest payable, operating expenses, use of funds (reserves), reduction of capital, direction of cash, disposal of fixed assets, etc. .). The header part of the forms is filled out in the following order

The reporting date or reporting period for which the financial statements were prepared (“for 200_”, “for 200_”) is indicated; “Organization” detail - the full name of the legal entity is indicated (in accordance with the constituent documents registered in the prescribed manner); the taxpayer identification number (TIN) assigned by the tax authority in the prescribed manner is indicated;

Requisite “Type of activity” - indicates the type of activity that is recognized as the main one in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents approved by the State Committee of the Russian Federation on Statistics; requisite “Organizational and legal form/form of ownership” - this line indicates the organizational and legal form of the organization in accordance with the Classification of organizational and legal forms of economic entities (COPF). In this case, in the left half of the column the code according to KOPF is indicated, and in the right half - the property code according to the Classifier of Forms of Ownership (KOF); “Unit of measurement” attribute - indicates the format for presenting numerical indicators: thousand rubles. - code 384 according to OKEI; million rubles - code 385 according to OKEI; “Address” detail - indicate the full postal address of the organization; “Approval date” detail - indicates the established date for the annual financial statements; “Date of dispatch/acceptance” detail - indicates the specific date of mailing of the financial statements or the date of its actual transfer according to ownership; requisite “State property management body” - organizations that have federal property and are obliged, in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 3, 1998 No. 696 “On the organization of accounting of federal property,” to obtain certificates of inclusion of the specified property in the register, must indicate the number in the register federal (state) property (“Number in the register of federal (state) property”) and the name of the body entrusted with coordinating and regulating the activities of the state or municipal unitary enterprise and to which the financial statements are sent. The preparation and presentation of financial statements are carried out in thousands of rubles without decimal places. Organizations that have significant volumes of turnover of goods, liabilities, etc. are allowed to present financial statements in millions of rubles without decimal places.

Small businesses, public organizations (associations) and other organizations with a small amount of assets included in the balance sheet and in order to avoid difficulties in using financial reporting data can prepare and submit annual financial statements in whole rubles. Financial statements must be prepared in Russian in the currency of the Russian Federation. An organization subject to liquidation or reorganization, changing the state form of ownership to another in the reporting year, submits a report on standard forms of annual financial statements for the period from the beginning of the year until the moment of liquidation (reorganization). The newly created organization shows funds in the reporting (at the cost of acquisition, receipt ) and their sources from the date of its state registration in the prescribed manner until December 31 inclusive of the reporting year, and an organization created after October 1 of the reporting year, including October 1, - until December 31 of the following year inclusive (this procedure does not apply to organizations created on database of liquidated (reorganized) organizations and their structural divisions). An organization that transfers and acquires (receives) new units not as of January 1, provides in an explanatory note an explanation for the discrepancy between the balance sheet data at the beginning and end of the reporting year. PBU 7/98 “Events after the reporting date” and PBU 8/01 “Contingent facts of economic activity” establish the rules for reflecting these events and facts in financial statements. In this case, events after the reporting date and contingent facts are reflected in accounting depending on their materiality (significance). The significance of facts and events is determined by the organization independently based on the requirements of accounting regulations. The consequences of events after the reporting date and contingent facts are assessed in monetary terms in a special calculation and shown in the financial statements either by reflecting in synthetic and analytical accounting the final turnover of the reporting period before the approval of the annual financial statements, or by disclosing the relevant information in the notes to the balance sheet and report about financial results. At the same time, conditional profit as fi-

The financial result of the conditional fact is disclosed only in the explanations to the balance sheet and the profit and loss account for the reporting period, and in the synthetic and analytical accounting of the reporting period, entries about the conditional profit are not made. The procedure for calculating and reflecting in accounting and reporting events after the reporting date and contingent facts is established by a separate accounting regulation. In some cases, when the disclosure of information on contingent facts of economic activity may negatively affect the probability of the occurrence of these facts, the organization may not disclose the information in full, but indicate in the explanations to the profit and loss statement only the general nature of the contingent fact and the reason why. beyond which more detailed information is not disclosed. Issues regulated by PBU 7/98 “Events after the reporting date” and PBU 8/01 “Conditional facts of economic activity” are closely related to PBU 4/99 “Accounting statements of an organization.”

1.2.6. The role of the explanatory note in information disclosure

The explanatory note to the annual financial statements must contain essential information about the organization, its financial position, comparability of data for the reporting and preceding years, valuation methods and significant items of the financial statements. The explanatory note should include: - a brief description of the organization’s activities, i.e. provide key performance indicators, factors that influenced the financial results of the reporting period, as well as a decision based on the results of consideration of the annual financial statements and distribution of the organization’s net profit; - analytical indicators characterizing the condition, structure and efficiency of use of fixed assets, intangible assets, financial investments, etc.; calculate the profitability of the organization; - assessment of the financial condition of the organization for the short term based on indicators of the financial stability and solvency of the organization;

Assessment of the financial condition for the long term based on indicators of the structure of sources of funds, the degree of dependence of the organization on external investors and creditors, by determining the effectiveness of investments, etc.; - assessment of the organization’s business activity. The explanatory note must report the facts of non-application of accounting rules in cases where they do not allow to reliably reflect the property status and financial results of the organization with appropriate justification. Otherwise, non-application of accounting rules is considered as evasion of their implementation and is recognized as a violation of the legislation of the Russian Federation on accounting. In the explanatory note to the financial statements, the organization announces changes in its accounting policies for the next reporting year. This article of Russian law complies with International Accounting Standard No. 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (IAS 1-97). It states that “financial statements should provide information about the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions.” If a report is not clear and precise, it cannot be used to make responsible decisions or judgments. This should fully apply to the information contained in Russian financial statements. Standard No. 1 states that financial statements must contain relevant figures for the preceding period. This undoubtedly improves the analytics of reports. “Comparative information must be disclosed in relation to the preceding period for all numeric information in the financial statements. Comparative information should be included in summary and descriptive information when relevant to an understanding of the financial statements for the current period.” In order to draw the right conclusions and make the right decision, it is necessary to have not only reports for the current period, but also for past periods, which are not available to every user.

1.2.7. Procedure for signing financial statements

Accounting statements are signed by the head and chief accountant (accountant) of the organization. In organizations where accounting is carried out on a contractual basis by a specialized organization (centralized accounting department) or a specialist, the financial statements are signed by the head of the organization, the head of a specialized organization (centralized accounting department) or a specialist conducting accounting. In organizations where accounting is maintained by a centralized accounting department, a specialized organization or a specialist accountant, the reporting is signed by the head of the organization, centralized accounting department or a specialized organization or by a specialist accountant conducting accounting. PBU 7/98 “Events after the reporting date” introduces a new concept of “date of signing of financial statements” into the accounting regulation system. The date of signing of the financial statements is the date indicated in the financial statements submitted to the addresses determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation when they are signed in the prescribed manner.

1.2.8. Addresses and deadlines for submitting financial statements

Organizations, with the exception of budgetary ones, submit annual financial statements in accordance with the constituent documents to the founders, participants of the organization or owners of its property, as well as to the territorial bodies of state statistics at the place of their registration. State and municipal unitary enterprises submit financial statements to bodies authorized to manage state property. Financial statements are presented to other executive authorities, banks and other users in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. Organizations, with the exception of budget ones, are required to submit quarterly financial statements within 30 days

At the end of the quarter, and annually - within 90 days after the end of the year, unless otherwise provided by the legislation of the Russian Federation. The submitted annual financial statements must be approved in the manner established by the constituent documents of the organization. Budgetary organizations submit monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements to a higher authority within the deadlines established by it. The day an organization submits financial statements is determined by the date of their mailing or the date of actual transmission by owner. If the date of submission of financial statements falls on a non-working (weekend) day, then the deadline for submission of financial statements is considered to be the first working day following it.

1.2.9. The procedure for making changes to the organization’s reporting

To ensure the reliability of accounting and financial reporting data, organizations are required to conduct an inventory of property and liabilities, during which their presence, condition and valuation are checked and documented. The inventory is carried out in accordance with the Guidelines for the inventory of property and financial obligations, approved by order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated June 13, 1995 No. 49. In cases where an organization identifies an incorrect reflection of business transactions of the current period before the end of the reporting year, corrections are made by entries in the relevant accounting accounts in the month of the reporting period when the distortions were identified. If an incorrect reflection of business transactions is detected in the reporting year after its completion, but for which the annual financial statements have not been approved in the prescribed manner, corrections are made by entries in December of the year for which the annual financial statements are prepared for approval and submission to the appropriate addresses.

If an organization reveals in the current reporting period that business transactions were incorrectly reflected in the accounting accounts last year, corrections are not made to the accounting records and financial statements for the previous reporting year (after the annual financial statements are approved in the prescribed manner). Since the entry into force of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the organization has been responsible for every tax violation, even in cases where it was identified and corrected by it independently. Errors made in accounting lead to incorrect calculation of the taxable base or the amount of tax itself. As a result, the organization fills out the tax return incorrectly and the tax amount is not transferred to the budget in full. When a taxpayer discovers an error on his own, he must amend the tax return. In this case, the organization will have to pay the unpaid amount of tax, pay penalties for late payment of tax and, in some cases, a fine for violating the rules for preparing a tax return.

1.2.10. Publicity of financial statements

Open joint stock companies, banks and other credit organizations, insurance organizations, stock exchanges, investment and other funds created at the expense of private, public and state funds (contributions) are required to publish annual financial statements no later than June 1 of the year following the reporting year. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, their representative offices and branches on the territory of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and territorial compulsory medical insurance funds, as well as in cases established by federal laws, other organizations are required to publish annual financial statements. The publicity of financial statements consists of their publication in newspapers and magazines accessible to users of financial statements, or the distribution among them of brochures, booklets and other publications containing accounting records.

Terek reporting, as well as in its transfer to the territorial bodies of state statistics at the place of registration of the organization for provision to interested users. In this regard, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation approved the procedure for publishing financial statements (Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated November 26, 1996 No. 101). In particular, this order states that joint stock companies can publish an abbreviated form of the balance sheet and profit and loss statement. The balance sheet can be presented only with totals for the sections provided for in clause 20 of PBU 4/99, if the following conditions are simultaneously present; 1) the balance sheet currency (at the end of the reporting period) should not exceed 400,000 times (400,000 minimum wage) the minimum wage; 2) revenue (net) from the sale of goods, products, works, services for the reporting period should not exceed 1,000,000 times (1,000,000 minimum wage) of the minimum wage. If the organization has more of these indicators, then the balance sheet is published in full. As for Form No. 2 “Profit and Loss Statement”, when publishing it, you can not include the interim results provided for in paragraph 23 of PBU 4/99, and also not provide report items for which the company does not have indicators. The form of the profit and loss statement in an abbreviated version must contain the following indicators: revenue from the sale of goods, products, works, services, cost of goods sold, products, works, services, gross profit, commercial, administrative expenses, distribution of profits or coverage of losses. Information on the results of the audit must be published along with the financial statements. The publication must contain the opinion (assessment) of an independent auditor or audit firm on the reliability of the financial statements. If the financial statements are published in full, the publication must include the full text of the final part of the auditor's report.

1.2.11- Audit of financial statements

In cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, financial statements are subject to mandatory audit. The final part of the auditor's report must be attached to the financial statements.

For municipal unitary enterprises, by law of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, financial indicators may be lowered. The final part of the auditor's report issued based on the results of the statutory audit of financial statements must be attached to these statements.

Section 1 “Non-current assets” of the balance sheet presents the following groups of items: - intangible assets; - fixed assets; - Construction in progress; - profitable investments in material assets; - long-term financial investments; - Other noncurrent assets. Intangible assets are shown in the balance sheet at their residual value, i.e. at the actual costs of acquisition, production and costs of bringing them to a state in which they are suitable for use for the intended purposes, minus accrued depreciation. Intangible assets used in the production of products, performance of work, provision of services during a period of economic activity exceeding 12 months, and bringing economic benefits (income), include objects of intellectual property: - the exclusive right of the patent holder to an invention, industrial design, utility model; - exclusive copyright for computer programs, databases; - the exclusive right of the owner to a trademark and service mark, the name of the place of origin of the goods. In addition, intangible assets may include organizational expenses (expenses associated with the formation of a legal entity, recognized in accordance with the constituent documents as the contribution of participants (founders) to the authorized (share) capital), as well as the business reputation of the organization. A breakdown of the composition of intangible assets is given in the appendix to the balance sheet (form No. 5). The balance sheet shows data on fixed assets, both active and mothballed or in reserve, at their residual value.

This subsection also reflects capital investments in land improvement (reclamation, drainage, irrigation and other works) and in leased buildings, structures, equipment and other objects related to fixed assets. The amount of actual acquisition costs includes land plots and environmental management facilities acquired by the organization into ownership in accordance with the law.

This article reflects the cost of capital construction projects that are in temporary operation until they are put into permanent operation, as well as the cost of real estate assets for which there are no documents confirming the state registration of real estate assets in cases established by law. Unfinished capital investments are reflected in the balance sheet at actual costs for the developer (investor). In addition, this item reflects the costs of forming the main herd, the cost of equipment that requires installation and is intended for installation. A breakdown of information on the movement of funds under the item “Construction in progress” is given in form No. 5. The item “Income-generating investments in material assets” reflects income-generating investments in assets provided under a lease (hire) agreement for a fee for temporary possession and use in order to receive income. Long-term financial investments are long-term investments of an organization (for a period of more than a year) in income-generating assets (securities) of other organizations, authorized (stock)

Capital of other organizations created on the territory of the Russian Federation or abroad, government securities, as well as loans provided by the organization to other organizations. Financial investments are taken into account in the amount of actual costs for the investor. For debt securities, the difference between the amount of actual acquisition costs and the nominal value during their circulation period is allowed to be attributed evenly, as the income due on them accrues, to the financial results of the organization. Objects of financial investments (except for loans) that have not been paid in full are shown on the asset side of the balance sheet in the full amount of the actual costs of their acquisition under the agreement with the assignment of the outstanding amount to creditors in the liability side of the balance sheet in cases where the rights to the object have been transferred to the investor. In other cases, amounts contributed to the account of financial investment objects subject to acquisition are shown in the asset balance sheet under the item debtors. An organization's investments in shares of other organizations listed on a stock exchange or special auctions, the quotes of which are regularly published, are reflected at the end of the year at market value, if the latter is lower than the value accepted for accounting. The specified difference is written off to the reserve formed at the end of the year for the impairment of investments in securities, created at the expense of the financial results of the organization. The item “Other non-current assets” reflects funds and investments of a long-term nature that are not reflected in section I of the balance sheet.

When releasing inventories (except for goods accounted for at sales value) into production and otherwise disposing of them, they are assessed in one of the following ways: - at the cost of each unit; - at average cost; - at the cost of the first acquisition of inventories (FIFO method); - at the cost of the most recent acquisition of inventories (LIFO method). The article “Costs in work in progress (distribution costs)” shows the costs of work in progress and unfinished work (services), which are accounted for in the corresponding accounting accounts for production costs. Organizations (construction, scientific, engaged in geology, etc.) that carry out settlements with customers in the current year in accordance with concluded contracts for completed stages of work that have independent significance, reflect on this line the stages accepted in the prescribed manner by the customer at the contractual cost. In this case, the customer reflects the cost of work in accounting upon completion of all stages. Selling expenses take into account the amount of distribution costs attributable to the balance of unsold goods in organizations operating in accordance with the constituent documents in trade, supply and other intermediary activities. If organizations do not recognize the recorded distribution costs in the cost of goods (services) sold in full in the reporting period as

Products that do not meet the specified requirements and undelivered work are considered unfinished and are shown as part of work in progress. This article shows the cost of remaining goods purchased by an organization operating in trade and public catering. At the same time, the organization of public catering under this article also reflects the remains of raw materials in kitchens and pantries, and the remains of goods in buffets. Organizations operating in industry show in this line products purchased specifically for sale.

Uncovered losses are reflected in the balance sheet as negative indicators and reduce the amount of the organization's equity capital. When considering the results of the organization’s activities for the reporting year, a decision must be made on the sources of covering losses. Retained earnings from previous years, a reserve fund, and additional capital (with the exception of amounts of additional valuation of property) can be used for these purposes. Section 4 “Long-term liabilities” is presented by the following items: - bank loans subject to repayment more than 12 months after the reporting date;

Let's consider the procedure for generating indicators of Form No. 2 “Profit and Loss Statement”. The classification of income and expenses is established in the Accounting Regulations “Income of the Organization” (PBU 9/99) and “Expenses of the Organization” (PBU 10/99). PBU 9/99 provides a definition of the organization’s income as a whole, its types, as well as revenue. The regulation determines the procedure for recognizing income in accounting and the procedure for disclosing information about the organization’s income in financial statements.

An organization's income is recognized as an increase in economic benefits as a result of the receipt of assets (cash, other property) and (or) repayment of liabilities, leading to an increase in the capital of this organization, with the exception of contributions from participants (owners of property). For the purposes of the Regulations, the following receipts from other legal entities and individuals are not recognized as income of the organization: - amounts of value added tax, excise taxes, sales tax, export duties and other similar mandatory payments; - under commission agreements, agency and other similar agreements in favor of the principal, principal, etc.;

The essence of this technique is to classify organizations according to the level of financial risk, that is, any analyzed organization can be assigned to a certain class depending on the number of points “scored”, based on its actual financial ratios.

The proposed L.V. Dontsova and N.A. Nikiforova, a system of financial indicators for diagnosing the likelihood of bankruptcy is shown in the table.

To determine the probability of bankruptcy of an enterprise, Table 4 is used.

Table 4 - Grouping of enterprises according to criteria for assessing financial condition

Class I are organizations with absolute financial stability and absolutely solvent, whose financial condition allows us to be confident in the timely fulfillment of obligations in accordance with contracts. These are organizations that have a rational structure of property and its sources, and, as a rule, are quite profitable.

Class II - these are organizations with normal financial condition. Their financial indicators as a whole are very close to optimal, but there is some lag in certain ratios. These organizations, as a rule, have a suboptimal ratio of their own and borrowed sources of financing, shifted in favor of borrowed capital. At the same time, there is a rapid increase in accounts payable compared to the increase in other borrowed sources, as well as compared to the increase in accounts receivable. These are usually profitable organizations.

Class III are organizations whose financial condition can be assessed as average. When analyzing the balance sheet, the weakness of certain financial indicators is revealed. Either their solvency is on the border of the maximum acceptable level, and their financial stability is normal, or, on the contrary, they have an unstable financial condition due to the predominance of borrowed sources of financing, but there is some current solvency. When dealing with such organizations, there is hardly a threat of loss of funds, but fulfilling obligations on time seems doubtful.

IV class - these are organizations with an unstable financial condition. There is a certain financial risk when dealing with them. They have an unsatisfied capital structure, and their solvency is at the lower limit of acceptable values. Such organizations, as a rule, have no profit at all or very little, sufficient only for mandatory payments to the budget.

Class V - these are organizations with a crisis financial condition. They are insolvent and completely unsustainable from a financial point of view. These enterprises are unprofitable.

However, this technique does not allow for early diagnosis of bankruptcy, as well as for assessing the actions of the organization’s management to improve financial stability over a number of years.

Taking into account the variety of financial processes, the multiplicity of indicators of financial condition, differences in the level of critical assessments, the emerging degree of deviation from them of the actual values ​​of the coefficients and the difficulties arising in connection with this in the overall assessment of the financial position of the organization, it is recommended to conduct a rating assessment of the financial condition.

The essence of this technique is to classify organizations according to the level of financial risk, that is, any analyzed organization can be assigned to a certain class depending on the number of points “scored”, based on its actual financial ratios.

• 1st Class- these are organizations with absolute financial stability and absolutely solvent, whose financial condition allows you to be confident in the timely fulfillment of obligations in accordance with contracts. These are organizations that have a rational structure of property and its sources, and, as a rule, are quite profitable.
• 2nd Class- these are organizations with normal financial condition. Their financial indicators as a whole are very close to optimal, but there is some lag in certain ratios. These organizations, as a rule, have a suboptimal ratio of their own and borrowed sources of financing, shifted in favor of borrowed capital. At the same time, there is a rapid increase in accounts payable compared to the increase in other borrowed sources, as well as compared to the increase in accounts receivable. These are usually profitable organizations.
• 3rd Class- these are organizations whose financial condition can be assessed as average. When analyzing the balance sheet, the weakness of certain financial indicators is revealed. Either their solvency is on the border of the maximum acceptable level, and their financial stability is normal, or, on the contrary, they have an unstable financial condition due to the predominance of borrowed sources of financing, but there is some current solvency. When dealing with such organizations, there is hardly a threat of loss of funds, but fulfilling obligations on time seems doubtful.
• 4th Class- These are organizations with an unstable financial condition. There is a certain financial risk when dealing with them. They have an unsatisfied capital structure, and their solvency is at the lower limit of acceptable values. Such organizations, as a rule, have no profit at all or very little, sufficient only for mandatory payments to the budget.
• 5th Class- these are organizations with a crisis financial condition. They are insolvent and completely unsustainable from a financial point of view. These enterprises are unprofitable...

The essence of this technique is to classify organizations according to the level of financial risk, that is, any analyzed organization can be assigned to a certain class depending on the number of points “scored”, based on the actual values ​​of its financial ratios.

1st class– these are organizations with absolute financial stability and absolutely solvent, whose financial condition allows us to be confident in the timely fulfillment of obligations in accordance with contracts. These are organizations that have a rational structure of property and its sources, and, as a rule, its sources are quite profitable.

2nd class– these are organizations with normal financial condition. Their financial indicators as a whole are very close to optimal, but some lags are allowed in certain ratios. These organizations, as a rule, have a suboptimal ratio of their own and borrowed sources of financing, shifted in favor of borrowed capital. At the same time, there is a rapid increase in accounts payable compared to the increase in accounts receivable. These are usually profitable organizations.

3rd grade– these are organizations whose financial condition can be assessed as average. When analyzing the balance sheet, the “weakness” of individual financial indicators is revealed. Either their solvency is on the border of the minimum acceptable level, and their financial stability is normal, or, on the contrary, they have an unstable financial condition due to the predominance of borrowed sources of financing, but there is some current solvency. When dealing with such organizations, there is hardly a threat of loss of funds, but the fulfillment of obligations on time seems doubtful.

4th grade– these are organizations with an unstable financial condition. There is a certain financial risk when dealing with them. They have an unsatisfactory capital structure, and their solvency is at the lower limit of acceptable values. Such organizations, as a rule, have no profit at all or very little, sufficient only for mandatory payments to the budget.

5th grade– these are organizations with a crisis financial condition. They are insolvent and completely unsustainable from a financial point of view. These enterprises are unprofitable.

Clause 1.3

Express analysis on the scale of financial and economic stability (based on identifying deviations from the equilibrium point)

Classification of enterprise property. The property of the enterprise from the point of view of functional participation in the reproduction process is divided without remainder into financial and non-financial assets. From the point of view of property relations, it is divided into equity and borrowed capital.

This characteristic of property in economic sectors is provided for in the System of National Accounts (SNA). Since sectors are formed by a set of enterprises, the principle of dividing economic assets into financial and non-financial, and capital into own and borrowed, is logical to apply to each individual enterprise. Moreover, this provides the opportunity to carry out a deep financial and economic analysis of the property, income and economic resources of the enterprise as a whole.

Financial assets are economic assets that are reflected simultaneously in the balance sheet of this and some other enterprise or financial organization: for this enterprise - as an asset, and for another - as a liability.

Non-financial assets reflected only in the balance sheet of this enterprise.

Financial assets include cash, accounts receivable (funds in settlements), short-term and long-term financial investments: loans provided, deposits, securities, shares and other investments in the capital of other enterprises.

Non-financial assets include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, inventories, work in progress and construction in progress.

Non-financial assets are real property. Financial assets are the right to property, a set of claims, a duplicate of real property that is in use by other owners.

Each security or accounts receivable record corresponds to real assets included in the borrowed capital of other enterprises. To obtain the full amount of all real property in a country, economic sector, industry, it is necessary and sufficient to sum up non-financial assets. For each economic entity, on the contrary, the amount of both financial and non-financial assets is important.

A natural question arises: what real property is behind the banknotes located in the cash register of the enterprise, or behind the sums of money stored in the bank account?

Banks act as debtors to the owners of funds (cash and non-cash) and are responsible to them as to their creditors with their own assets.

Both banknotes and non-cash funds are backed, firstly, by the reserves of the state banking system, which represent gold and foreign exchange reserves, i.e. real values, and, secondly, by investments of commercial banks in non-financial assets by providing loans to their clients .

Both financial and non-financial assets of an enterprise can be either own or borrowed. Both are at the disposal of the enterprise. None of the asset items bears any mark or identification mark - whether it relates to own property or borrowed property. This can only be determined by ranking, outside the scope of accounting. Own property is accounted for in an enterprise, regardless of its form of implementation, as the sum of authorized capital, additional capital, reserve capital, retained earnings, and targeted financing. Borrowed capital is accounted for as the sum of bank loans, borrowed funds received from other organizations, trade credit, advances received from customers, debt to the budget, founders and personnel (respectively, for payments of taxes, dividends and wages).

The double-entry accounting method guarantees at the end of each reporting period the balance (equality) of the amount of non-financial and financial assets, on the one hand, and the amount of equity and borrowed capital, on the other. But at the same time, there is no answer to the most pressing question: the funds in the current account – whose? Your own or borrowed? If it is not your own money, then it should be spent as follows:

· pay wages.

If it is your own money, then you have a choice:

· finance a conference (festival, seminar);

· update outdated equipment;

· decorate the office according to the latest European-quality renovation;

· issue bonuses to employees.

Making a decision - choosing from the listed options for spending money - does not, of course, depend on analysis. If the analyst discards a number of options and ranks the remaining ones, the manager may still choose the option from among the discarded ones. But at least the manager will know what he now owes to himself, since the expenditure of funds is ahead of their inflow.

In the further presentation we will proceed from the fact that financial and economic analysis is carried out with the aim of practical use of its results in financial management.

The procedure for overlaying enterprise capital with economic assets. The procedure that must be followed when conducting a rapid analysis of financial stability on a particular date is the imposition of the capital structure on the structure of economic assets. In this case, the rule is observed: equity capital is superimposed on non-financial assets and is commensurate with them. Consequently, debt capital absorbs the remaining assets. When you first approach this procedure, there are three options:

· equity capital is greater than non-financial assets (correspondingly, borrowed capital is less than financial assets), Fig. 1;

· equity capital is equal to non-financial assets (correspondingly, borrowed capital is equal to financial assets), Fig. 2;

· equity capital is less than non-financial assets (correspondingly, borrowed capital is more than financial assets), Fig. 3.

Figure 1 – Net lending

Figure 2 – State of financial and economic equilibrium

Figure 3 – Net borrowing

From a comparison of three possible options in a static analysis of an enterprise’s property, the following conclusions follow:

1. Non-financial assets bind equity.

2. Borrowed capital absorbs financial assets.

3. An enterprise has its own financial assets only if its own capital exceeds non-financial assets.

4. If equity capital is less than non-financial assets, then borrowed capital absorbs not only financial assets, but also part of the non-financial assets.

5. If equity capital is equal to non-financial assets, the enterprise is in a state of financial and economic equilibrium (Fig. 2).

6. The presence of own financial assets indicates the state of net lending (Fig. 1).

7. The presence of borrowed non-financial assets indicates the state of net borrowing (Fig. 3).

Thus, financial and economic analysis begins not with financial assets, but with non-financial assets, since equity capital must finance the least liquid assets. This is understandable: illiquid Assets cannot cover obligations, since they cannot pay off debts, in any case, pay off without damage to the technological process and without economic losses. If you still have to urgently sell non-financial assets (inventories, equipment), then you have to sell them below cost (economic value), i.e. at a loss. The financial situation is stable only when the threat of sale does not hang over the real (non-financial) property of the enterprise. And this is only possible if the equity capital is sufficient to finance (secure) all non-financial assets.

Own financial assets are a control lever. Net lending and net borrowing are new concepts for financial analysis of enterprises, taken from the macroeconomic analysis of economic sectors in the SNA. Net lending does not mean that the entire excess of equity over non-financial assets represents receivables. (In this case, this enterprise would indeed be a direct creditor to its debtors). Own financial assets can take the form of non-cash and cash funds, financial investments, and foreign currency savings. But all this is evidence that this enterprise indirectly, through third legal entities, primarily through banks, lends to those economic entities whose analysis shows a state of net borrowing. Net borrowing means the lack of security of non-financial assets with equity capital, their use to cover the obligations assumed by the enterprise.

Own financial resources are a control lever, a means of financial maneuver. They can be provided to partners on credit, invested in your own business or invested at favorable interest rates in a bank, made emergency (unscheduled) expenses, advanced to suppliers, and finally, lent to yourself if debtors fail to pay for orders on time.

An enterprise is potentially ready to invest in production only if it has its own financial assets, since investing in machinery, equipment, buildings, and land transforms financial assets into non-financial ones. In order not to lose financial and economic balance, investments in production should not exceed one’s own financial resources. By investing with borrowed funds, the company takes on increased risk and loses balance. Such options are possible and sometimes necessary. But at the same time, one should be aware of what is happening with financial and economic sustainability.

The outlined approach to financial and economic analysis outlines its contours and provides a theoretical basis. For the practical implementation of financial and economic analysis, additional specification of this method is necessary, in particular, its application in statics and dynamics. Rules for extracting source information from the balance sheet are required.

In both cases, it is important to adhere to the line that the difference between equity and any part of the assets (financial or current) can be either positive or negative. In both cases, the difference is only an indicator. Neither working capital nor own financial assets can be a negative value, since they are a real component of a positive value - capital invested in the business, in turnover. The limit value of both working capital and own financial assets is zero.

Summarize. A negative difference between equity and non-current assets is an indicator of working capital, an indication that it is absent. The indicator value indicates how much equity capital is missing to achieve equilibrium, but in this case there is no working capital.

The negative difference between equity and non-financial assets is an indicator of financial and economic stability. It indicates the absence of one’s own financial assets and the amount that one’s own capital lacks in order to have financial and economic balance.

With positive indicator values, no special explanation is required, since the value and sign of the indicator coincide with either working capital or own financial assets. Please note: they are the same, but not identical.

The concepts of net lending and net borrowing fit into the general system of financial and economic equilibrium in the economy. In the SNA, financial investments, included in accounting as non-current assets, are included in the mechanism for achieving financial and economic equilibrium, which is dictated by the real conditions of the capital market and theoretical provisions. In fact, if an enterprise has securities, such as shares of Gazprom or Lukoil, does it have real estate? Does it tie up its own capital? On the contrary, it is a very mobile, easily sold part of assets, which can provide “quick liquidity” better than any reserves.

Deepening the static analysis of financial and economic sustainability. Let us continue the analysis of financial and economic stability in statics. Let us divide financial assets into mobile and non-mobile, and non-financial assets into illiquid and liquid. Will compare equity capital alternately with immobile assets, non-financial and illiquid (Fig. 4). In this case, five states of financial and economic stability will arise: super stability, stability, equilibrium, financial tension and a risk zone (on the verge of a crisis state).

Each of the quantities involved in the analysis can vary within certain limits. Let us introduce the designations for these quantities and their derivatives:

EA – economic assets;

K – capital;

SK – equity capital;

ZK – borrowed capital;

MFA – mobile assets (financial);

NMFA – immobile financial assets;

Intangible assets – immobile assets (financial and non-financial);

FA – financial assets;

NA – non-financial assets;

LA – liquid assets (financial and non-financial);

LHA – liquid non-financial assets;

NLHA – illiquid (non-financial) assets;

I – indicator of financial and economic stability:

I" – indicator of absolute solvency:

I" = SK-NMA;

And "" – security indicator:

I"" = SK-NLNA.

Figure 4 – Graphic scale of financial and economic stability

In Fig. 4 indicates the critical points of transition from one zone to another; between these points, equity capital has upper and lower limits. As can be seen from the diagram, all capital can be owned, just as it can be entirely borrowed, but it cannot have a negative value. At the point of transition from the risk zone to the crisis zone, borrowed capital is equal to all assets, and below it becomes more than assets. This is an economic sign of crisis. The balance is broken. Capital is not equal to assets. Part of the borrowed capital has been lost, “eaten up” - after the own.

Let us present a table (Table 3), which reflects the “behavior” of all indicators characterizing financial and economic stability by zone and which can be used as a scale for establishing the rank of an enterprise in statics. The enlarged scale can have three ranks:

1. Sustainability;

2. Balance;

3. Instability.

The differentiated static scale contains five ranks:

1. Super stability;

2. Sufficient stability;

3. Balance;

5. State of risk.

Table 3 – Static scale-table of financial and economic sustainability (FES)

Enlarged scale	Differentiated scale
Stability zone: ON < SK < EA I > 0	Super resistance zone: NMA< СК < EA; I > 0; I" > 0; I" > 0
Absolute solvency line: SC = intangible asset; ZK = MFA; I > 0; I" = 0; I" > 0 Zone of sufficient stability: ON < SK < NMA AND > 0; AND" < 0; I" > 0;
Equilibrium line: I = 0 Instability zone: 0 < SK< НА И < 0	Equilibrium line: SC = NA; ZK = FA; I = 0; AND"< 0; И" >0 NLNA tension zone < SK< НА; И < 0; И" < 0; И" > 0;
Liquidity line: SC = NLNA; ZK = LA; AND< 0; И" < 0; И" = 0; Зона риска: 0 < SK< НЛНА И < 0; И" < 0; И" < 0.

Dynamic scale of financial and economic stability. The dynamics of financial and economic stability are measured by the increases in the indicators mentioned above (Table 3). The combination of positive, negative and zero values ​​of the incremental indicators of the photomultiplier determines the transition from one state to another. These transitions can be ranked. The three states of the photomultiplier in statics correspond to a scale with 13 dynamics characteristics (Table 4).

Table 4 – Enlarged dynamic scale of PMT

Transition Characteristics	PMT indicator value	Rank
At the beginning of the reporting period (I 0)	At the end of the reporting period (I 1)	Incremental indicator (ΔI)
Strengthening resilience	> 0	>0	> 0
Maintaining sustainability	> 0	> 0	= 0
Weakening stability	> 0	>0	< 0
Transition from balance to stability	= 0	> 0	>0
Transition from instability to sustainability	< 0	> 0	> 0
Transition from stability to balance	> 0	= 0	< 0
Maintaining balance	= 0	= 0	= 0
Transition from instability to equilibrium	< 0	= 0	> 0
Transition from stability to instability	> 0	< 0	< 0
Loss of balance	= 0	< 0	< 0
Reducing instability	< 0	< 0	> 0
Preservation of instability	< 0	< 0	= 0
Increasing instability	< 0	< 0	< 0

The incremental indicators of the FEU (I) indicator in 13 transition types are combined with certain incremental values ​​of each of the six indicators: SC, ZK, K, NA, FA, EA. All seven incremental indicators can be > 0, = 0,< 0. При заданных условиях возникает 75 приростных ситуаций, которые образуют целостный массив и органи­зованы в 13 блоков. Все ситуации различаются между собой. Среди них нет двух одинаковых. Вместе с тем, доказано, что иных ситуаций сбалансированных приростов, кроме этих 75, более нет (Приложение А).

Using an array of standard situations, you can use express analysis mode, given the values ​​of some indicators, to find the direction of changes in others. First, they find the desired block, one of 13, using the elimination method. Then - the desired situation, of which there can be 7, 5 or 3 in one block. This method imposes restrictions on unreasonable decision-making and excludes obviously incompatible intentions.

It is impossible, for example, to combine the intensive use of trade credit with the intention of forming one’s own financial assets, etc. In practice, the incompatibility of indicators is not as obvious as in the above example, especially since the seven indicators mentioned above often move in different directions. In addition to the array of standard situations in the incremental analysis of the FEM, it is possible to use similarly constructed arrays of situations in the incremental analysis of absolute solvency and security.

The article provides an overview of bankruptcy diagnostic methods of foreign and domestic economists, proposes an improved methodology for rating assessment and early diagnosis of bankruptcy, and performs a comparative assessment of the financial condition and rating assessment of one of the coal industry enterprises using the generally accepted and proposed methodology.

The article surveys bankruptcy diagnostics procedures developed by foreign and domestic economists, suggests an improved rating assessment and early bankruptcy diagnostics procedure, carries out a comparative assessment of the financial performance and a rating assessment of a coal mining enterprise based on the conventional and suggested procedures.

Key words: methodology, financial condition, bankruptcy, rating assessment.

Key words: procedure, financial performance, bankruptcy, rating assessment.

The economic conditions in which any company operates are characterized by an increased risk of bankruptcy, not only due to the conditions prevailing within the company itself and the situation in the country, but due to dependence on the global economic situation, which is quite difficult to predict. These circumstances increase interest in the issues of diagnosing the likelihood of bankruptcy, since in a crisis situation, in addition to the control function, diagnostics of the condition is a kind of system that warns management about dangerous situations for the business.

There are various methods for diagnosing the likelihood of bankruptcy, which can be combined into two groups: a) based on the classification of enterprises by risk level; b) methods for assessing financial stability based on an integral score. In accordance with these methods, risk is determined taking into account the actual level of financial stability indicators and the rating of each indicator, expressed in points, based on expert assessments.

In the first group the largestThe two-factor and five-factor models of Edward Altman andWilliam Beaver scorecard. However, these methods are not without drawbacks and do not take into account the specifics of the economic situation and business organization in Russia, which necessitates the use of a different set of financial indicators.

Russian economists offer methods for diagnosing bankruptcy, taking into account the specifics of Russia. So, economists R. S. Saifulin and G. G. Kadykov calculated a complex indicator for predicting a company’s financial crisis:

R = 2*K 1 + 0.1 * K 2 + 0.08 * K 3 + 0.45 * K 4 +K 5 ,

where K 1 - coefficient of provision with own working capital;

TO 2 - current liquidity ratio;

TO Z - asset turnover ratio;

TO 4 - management ratio, calculated as the ratio of profit from sales to revenue;

TO 5 -return on equity.

If these indicators comply with their minimum standard levels, the valueR = l. If the valueR<1, then the financial condition of the organization is unsatisfactory ifR>1 - quite satisfactory.

However, this technique is mainly aimed at the diagnostic control function.

Currently, the emergence of crisis situations leading to bankruptcy of enterprises is caused not only by improper management, but also to a large extent by external factors characterizing the economic environment in which the company operates and the economic situation in the world, on which it cannot but depend. A crisis situation for a company is characterized by an increased risk of bankruptcy, a weak competitive position, and financial instability. In a crisis situation, in addition to the control function, condition diagnostics is a kind of system that warns management about dangerous situations for the business.

Under these conditions, in our opinion, the technique recommended by L.V. Dontsova and N.A. Nikiforova and based on an integral score, seems to be more effective.

The proposed L.V. Dontsova and N.A. Nikiforova, the system of financial indicators for diagnosing the likelihood of bankruptcy is shown in Table 1.

Table 1

System of financial indicators for diagnosing the likelihood of bankruptcy

However, this technique does not allow for early diagnosis of bankruptcy, as well as for assessing the actions of the organization’s management to improve financial stability over a number of years.

To expand the possibilities of using the technique of L.V. Dontsova and N.A. Nikiforova are proposed to introduce into the system of financial indicators (Table 1) additional four indicators shown in Table 2. In addition, for the purpose of early diagnosis of bankruptcy and timely development of an appropriate company strategy, it is proposed to introduce several bankruptcy forecasting models: a five-factor model Altman; Taffler's four-factor model; domestic two-factor model (Table 3).

table 2

Additional financial indicators for diagnosing the likelihood of bankruptcy

Table 3

Proposed bankruptcy forecasting models

Taking into account the proposed additions, the classification of organizations into bankruptcy risk classes should be carried out in accordance with the criteria given in Table 4. It must be borne in mind that as a result of the introduction of additional indicators and models, the rating of each indicator changes. Thus, the value of the rating of the indicator K ab according to L.V. Dontsova is 20, and according to the proposed method - 11, Kbl - 18 and 10.5, respectively. The sum of the ratings of all indicators in both the first and second cases for the 1st grade is 100 points, for the 6th grade it is 0. The point limits for intermediate classes of ratings change as follows (in the numerator - according to the method of L.V. Dontsova, in the denominator - according to the proposed method): for 2nd grade - 85.-78.2 / 80.95-79.05; 3rd class - 63.4-56.4/ 60-58.1; 4th grade - 41.6-28.3/ 39.05-38.1; for 5th grade - 13.5/19.05.

It should also be noted that the quantitative boundaries of risk classes do not overlap each other, and when calculating points to determine the financial rating of an organization, values ​​may be obtained that do not fall into any of the classes. In this case, the financier can assign a class of financial condition based on the result of an assessment close to the boundary of a particular class. For example, if the rating is 35 points, then this enterprise can be assigned class 4.

As a result of the proposed additions, the “price” of one point of reduction in the indicator compared to the minimum established also changes. When calculated according to Dontsova’s method, the “price” for each 0.1 point reduction in the value of the K ab indicator compared to the minimum established is 4 points, and according to the proposed method - 2.2 points; according to the Kbl indicator, the “price” values ​​are, respectively, 3 and 2.1 points.

To compare the proposed methodology and the methodology of L.V. Dontsova and N.A. Nikiforova performed an analysis of the financial condition and rating assessment over three years of dynamics of one of the enterprises in the coal industry that mines coal underground. The results obtained are shown in Table 5.

The table shows that when calculating indicators using the method of L.V. Dontsova and N.A. Nikiforova in the period from 2009 to 2011 there was a positive trend in the financial condition of the enterprise. However, the above methodology does not allow us to fully assess the effectiveness of management decisions of the enterprise management in the field of financial policy, since the calculations do not show significant changes in the risk class, which reduces its value for management.

Calculations performed using the proposed methodology allow us to track the improvement in the financial condition of the enterprise, as well as a noticeable reduction in the risk class. There is also a positive trend in the improvement of a number of indicators and a gradual transition from the lowest rating level to a higher one. This can serve as proof of the correctness of the financial policy of the enterprise management.

Thus, the improved methodology allows us to consider in more detail all significant changes in the financial condition of the enterprise through the use of a larger number of indicators, the ability to evaluate management decisions made in the field of financing current activities, and also to prevent the risk of bankruptcy through its timely diagnosis. This makes it possible for the management of the enterprise to take timely measures to prevent a financial crisis.
