2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
2.1 Urgency
The relevance of the research topic is due to the
increased importance of the scientifically based
approach in the management of financial risks of
economic entities.
The purpose of the research studies various
financial risks and develop evidence-based
recommendations for improving the financial risk
management of companies.
In accordance with this goal, it is necessary to
solve the following tasks:
study of the concept of risks, factors and causes
of their occurrence;
classification of financial risks;
consideration of various risk management
methodologies;
development of directions for improving the
corporate financial risk management.
2.2 Scientific Significance of the Issue
In the scientific field there is no single point of view
on the content and nature of risk, which is due to the
multidimensional nature of risks, the complexity of
their accounting in practice, as well as gaps in
legislation. The following key concepts are presented
below, which together reflect the content side of risk.
Firstly, the risk should be considered as the
probability (threat) of the economic entity losing its
share of internal resources, reducing profitability or
increasing costs from current production and
financial activities (Mamaeva L. N., 2018). This
means that the risk is associated with the possibility
of a certain adverse event or event.
Secondly, the concept of "risk" is associated with
the term "risk situation" which is expressed by the
possibility of a qualitative and quantitative
assessment of the level of probability of the
corresponding course of action. Such situation is
characterized by the following conditions:
uncertainty, necessary to choose an alternative
(including refusal to choose), as well as the right to
assess the probability of implementing the chosen
alternatives (Knight F., 2017).
Now the theory of risk management is one of the
most important components of project management,
because in almost all areas of life, people are used to
facing a lot of uncertainties. Uncertainty is a property
that is inherent in any activity of an economic entity,
since the implementation of any project is always
possible for any unforeseen results or situations
(Krysanova N. V. Pankratova M. E., Kuznetsov A.
N., 2017).
The main purpose of any company increases its
market capitalization, or its value, based on the total
value of all outstanding shares. It is obvious that any
risk is a threat of a further fall in the value of the
company, so risk management is especially important
to implementing any projects. Based on the above, the
category "risk" is used in many areas of activity, but
there is no general approach to the definition of this
term.
Risk – the possibility that an unfavorable outcome
will occur.
Risk management is a purposeful and consistent
activity of the company to increase its profit and
capitalization while minimizing the consequences of
risks.
Like most scientists we believe that economic risk
arises in connection with certain activities and
manifests itself through the results of these activities.
Here are some more definitions:
Risk – a situation in which the exact result of an
economic entity's decision is unpredictable, but the
course of action is known which makes it possible to
neutralize the negative variants of its resolution
(Senchagov V. K., 2012);
Risk – the probability of losses, losses, shortfall
of planned income, profits (Higgins, R., 2013);
Risk – a possible deviation of the results of the
activity of a commercial organization from those
predicted at the time of making a decision
(Teplyakova E. V., 2016).
It should be noted not only the risk of losses and
losses, but also the chance to acquire the benefits of
one of the counterparties of the transaction at the
expense of the other (Pakova, O. N. Konopleva Yu.
A., Berdanova A., 2017).
Financial risks associated with working with
financial assets, including credit, currency, interest
rate and market risks, as well as illiquidity risks
(Puchkova S. I., 2016).
Risk as the possibility of failure is an objective
category which exists independently of the will and
consciousness of people, but the risk can be
considered as a subjective category: the risk is
associated only of the threats, the existence of which
the subject is informed of the risk; therefore,
ignorance of the danger is equivalent to the absence
of risk (risk subject is the person who decides and is
responsible for the result, the risk object is defined
value which can be lost as a result of the impact of
risk) (Krui M., 2015). On the other hand, risk is
identified with possible luck (Konopleva J. A.,
