ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN ECONOMIC SECURITY OF ENTERPRISES LEVEL EVALUATION METHODS

Abstract. The article reviews some of the existing classifications of methodologies for economic security evaluation. It examines the most widely spread scientific approaches used to measure the overall level of economic security: the indicator or threshold, resource-functional program-target or complex, an institutional approach based on the theory of economic risks, rapid techniques. The work also provides a wide range of supporters of each of the techniques. The article offers a detailed description of the procedure while applying each methodological approach. It provides mathematical formulas for quantifying economic security within the considered approaches and a new systematization of all the advantages and disadvantages of a given scientific approach to measuring the level of economic security. As a result, we propose to use the synthesis of all existing approaches – the so-called generalized approach – to better assess the overall level of economic security. Key words: economic security, technique, scientific approach, the functional components of the economic security indicators, the criterion of economic security, the integral measure of economic security
