Formation of a risk-based monitoring indicators system for the activities of backbone enterprises

 The domestic economy is currently under great pressure from external and internal factors. To solve its tasks, the state needs not only a short-term mobilization of financial resources at the current moment, but also the creation of a reliable, strategic foundation for growth and sustainable development. Backbone enterprises are socially and economically significant business entities, act as guides and main subjects of the state's economic policy, and form the basis of the economic security of the entire country. This leads to the need for monitoring (systematic collection and analysis) of information about the activities of these enterprises. The purpose of the study was to develop a methodology that helps identify key risks of backbone enterprises. The author's approach to the formation of a risk-based monitoring system for the company's activities differs from those methods used by relevant government agencies. In particular, it takes into account the specific risks inherent only to backbone enterprises. The object of the study was the main aspects of the activities of backbone enterprises, reflected in the indicators of financial condition and trends. The monitoring methodology was tested at strategic enterprises of the Samara region. The research conducted by the author is based on quantitative methods of analyzing the activities of enterprises. Thus, the coefficient method was included in the basis, as well as the analysis of dynamics and identification of trends occurring in backbone enterprises. As a result of the conducted research, the practical possibility of applying the proposed methodology and the sufficiency of information openness of backbone enterprises were proved. The practical significance of the conducted research is that during testing, the key risks of backbone enterprises were identified (using the example of strategic backbone enterprises in the Samara region), as well as the trends in the economic activity of backbone enterprises were analyzed, on the basis of which conclusions were formulated regarding the economic security of these enterprises. The direction of further work is to study a larger number of backbone enterprises (not included in the list of strategic ones) in order to identify common trends, threats and risks of the development of these economic entities.
