WAYS TO ASSESS THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED ENTERPRISES AND DEVELOP IT

Abstract

The article proposes a practical approach to systematically assessing the financial condition of financially distressed enterprises and guiding their sustainable development. The study builds a diagnostic model based on indicators such as liquidity, solvency, financial stability, operating profitability, and return on assets. To evaluate bankruptcy risk, the author recommends using an interlinked trio of the pro forma balance sheet, cash-flow budget, and budgeted income statement, alongside a review of pricing and partnership arrangements, cost optimization, and reconfiguration of current assets by turnover speed and recoverability. The findings provide a methodological basis for promptly initiating financial rehabilitation in distressed firms and achieving long-term competitiveness.
