Economic Security of an Enterprise is the Way to Financial Stability

In modern economic conditions, business entities are increasingly paying attention to the issues of economic security, which allows businessmen to regularly monitor and control the state of financial stability. The vector of the direction of stable economic development of an economic entity has recently become increasingly important among entrepreneurs and is manifested through the introduction of elements of economic security into the system of financial and economic activity. Safe entrepreneurial activity is an important and necessary condition for healthy competition and sustainable development of a business entity of any form of ownership, regardless of the type of activity carried out. The economic security of an enterprise should be considered as a multifaceted category consisting of internal and external factors and risks. The article highlights the problem of insufficient implementation of the existing mechanism of functioning at the enterprise PJSC “Penzkompressormash” of economic security and, as a consequence, the deterioration of the financial stability of the business entity.
