Abstract. Introduction. The article examines the place of personnel security as a component of the system of economic security at enterprises. The main approaches to the formation of the personnel security system of the enterprise are considered. The role of personnel security in the strategic and operational management of the enterprise is clarified. The algorithm of creation of the personnel security system of the enterprise is outlined. The relationship between personnel security tasks and threats has been established. The main aspects of the personnel security system are identified and their impact on the economic security of the enterprise is analyzed. The scheme of interaction of personnel security of the subject of economic activity with external and internal environment is offered. The main directions of ensuring the personnel security of the enterprise are systematized, namely in the process of selection of candidates for positions, work with the labor collective. The measures that need to be taken to organize this security, taking into account the risks and threats associated with staff, their intellectual potential and employment. Purpose. The purpose of this article is to establish the place of personnel security in the system of economic security to reduce the level and number of threats that weaken the degree of security of the enterprise by staff. Results. We believe that the most difficult part of the security system of enterprises is the person, and it is the human factor that can have a critical impact on the success of the business and the very existence of the business object. Personnel security occupies a leading place in the structure of economic security. It can be defined as the process of preventing potential and real risks associated with personnel, as a set of actions and relationships of personnel, in which the effective economic functioning of the enterprise, its ability to withstand internal and external influences and threats associated with personnel. Conclusions. The category of “personnel security” of the enterprise, its components and areas of support are currently a very complex and insufficiently studied industry. The proposed classification categories do not claim to be complete. In particular, it is necessary to determine the weight of each such component for the economic security of the enterprise. No less interesting is the study of the relationship between the components of personnel security, between personnel and other types of economic security. Given the significant (and possibly decisive) impact of personnel security on the economic functioning of enterprises, it is advisable to continue research in this direction. Keywords: personnel security; stages of personnel security; staffing system; loyalty system.

The article is devoted to the actual issues of providing economic security of the enterprise. Investigated the concept of economic security of the enterprise and its components have been analyzed. The article analyzes the international experience of ensuring economic security of enterprises. Risks and threats to the economic security of enterprises are classified and the stages of forming a financial risk management system are defined. The necessity of an integrated approach to ensuring economic security as a factor in the effective functioning of the enterprise is suggested. Keywords: economic security, enterprise, threats, classification of risks, financial risk management.

The complex of agroindustrial enterpriseis an extremely important branch of the national economy of any state. This area determines the level of food security, and can also be one of the powerful incentives for the growth of the entire economic system of the country. This is why it so important to ensure economic security of agroindustrial enterprise. The purpose of the article is to form the model for assessing the level of economic security of the agroindustrial enterprise. The subject of the study is economic security of the agroindustrial enterprise. It is proved that the effectiveness of anti-crisis measures substantially depends on information support, the formation of which at the proper level is possible when applying the developed model for assessing the level of economic security of the agroindustrial enterprise. The use in the model of quantitative and qualitative indicators can characterize the main parameters of the economic activity of the agroindustrial enterprise and allow to characterize the level of economic security. This model is based on data that were obtained during the assessment by experts who work in agroindustrial enterprises, which may not only be about professionalism, but also take into account the specifics of the studied area. As a result of obtaining one or another value of the integral indicator, the studied agro-industrial enterprise is recognized as requiring no revision of its own strategy for ensuring economic security. The generated model was experimentally applied at ten enterprises in Eastern Europe, in particular in countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine, to test its effectiveness. To define and substantiate our research, we applied the following general research methods: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization, synthesis and analysis, morphological analysis. The following methods are specific for our research: SAW methodology, in our work is designed to form a polyvariate decision-making model for assessing the level of economic security, as well as a method of expert evaluation, which are designed to form a list of necessary for the formation of the above model. The novelty of our research lies in the developed integrated indicator for assessing the level of economic security of agribusiness and its practical application.

The necessity of formation of financial and economic security at the enterprise in modern conditions of unstable financial situation in the country is defined. The concept of «financial and economic security» is substantiated, especially that financial and economic security is the financial and economic condition of the enterprise, through which the financial and economic interests of the company should be protected from negative external and internal factors and create the necessary financial and economic conditions for continuous successful activity and sustainable development of the enterprise. Statistics on the difficult financial security situation for both enterprises and the country are presented. The main indicators of the system and components for the formation of financial and economic security at the enterprise are analyzed. It is determined that the main factors of financial and economic security of the enterprise are: the level of financial resources; stability and firmness of the financial condition of the enterprise; balance of financial flows; the nature of financial and economic activities of the enterprise and the degree of its efficiency. Stages of formation of financial and economic security are to determine the types and causes of negative impact on the company and determine its financial condition, assessment of the current level of its security. Indicators for assessing the efficiency of the enterprise and the current state of financial and economic security of the company are presented. All these measures are aimed at ensuring the balance and sustainability of financial and economic security of the company, which consists in the effective implementation of currency, investment, settlement, stock, monetary policies, etc. as a prerequisite for the effectiveness of economic activity of the business entity. The following ways of improvement of financial and economic system are offered: improvement of normative-legal protection of all spheres of activity; ensuring the reliability of staff; protection of information used by the enterprise; effective monitoring of finances and risks of financial activity; increasing financial stability and independence by ensuring the efficiency of core activities, competitiveness of products and / or services; the right choice of strategies for market behavior.

One of main problems of modern society there is complex safety of the difficult systems of different nature. Today the problems of creation of the difficult nonlinear dynamic reliable systems go out on the first plan. It stipulates exceptional theoretical and practical meaningfulness of the use of methods of synergetics in a management the systems. An improvement of the existent theoretical and methodological going is near organization of control system by economic security of enterprise from position of sinergistical approach. An increase of multi-variant approach of development of the economic systems is reason of change of methodology of economic researches and a nonlinear economic theory comes on changing to the traditional economic theory. Invariants, non-linearity, coherentness and factorable synthesis, are the base concepts of sinergistical theory of management. Any socio-economic system presents by a soba complex of functional subsystems, that is bound by inter se the processes of intensive dynamic cooperation, exchange information. Application of synergetics showed in researches of economy, that most cases have an evolution direction of that through nonlinear character of connections in the system is determined by the action of insignificant factors basic direction of motion of the socio-economic systems, as a rule, informative, that prove in bifurcational processes. The condition of development and viability of any enterprise are maintenances of dynamic equilibrium, that are the aim of the system of economic security of enterprise — it’s attractor. By principles of management of enterprise economic security from positions sinergistical approaches are: complication, non-linearity, dynamic. The system of economic security of enterprise is base on principle of feed-back. Leaning on sinergistical approach, set forth raising of sinergistical synthesis of nonlinear control system by economic security. Exactly sinergistical effects that are characterized as management results in the systems cause the change of quality, and are the adequate instrument of providing of economic security.

Економіка України протягом останніх років проходить досить складний за соціально-економічними наслідками період трансформації. За таких умов на першому місці постає проблема вже навіть не конкурентоспроможності підприємства, а його економічної безпеки. Сучасні загрози в діяльності підприємства висувають принци¬пово нові вимоги до побудови й організації діяльності систем їх безпеки. Тому набуває важливості проблема розробки ефективних механізмів підвищення економічної безпеки для суб’єктів господарювання.

Копча Ю. Ю. Механізм формування потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємств: дисертація на здобуття ступеня доктора філософії за спеціальністю 051 – «Економіка» / Копча Юрій Юрійович. – Київ: Національний авіаційний університет; Львівський державний університет внутрішніх справ МВС України, 2020. - 277 с.
У дисертаційній роботі вирішено важливе науково-практичне завдання, пов’язане з теоретико-методичним обґрунтуванням положень і розробкою практичних рекомендацій щодо розробки механізму формування потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємства та використання системи оцінювання його складових. Доведено, що проблема визначення особливостей ідентифікації економічної стійкості підприємства як основи його потенціалу економічної безпеки дасть змогу виявити дві номенклатурні групи дослідження, а саме – економічну стійкість і потенціал економічної безпеки, які використовуються як ключ до категоризації основного завдання. Аналізуючи внутрішні та зовнішні процеси підприємства через їхні зв’язки та необхідність їхньої координації з внутрішніми складовими підприємства, створено концептуальний підхід до ідентифікації економічної стійкості підприємства як основи його потенціалу економічної безпеки. Визначені складові можна розвивати та задіювати у формуванні економічної стійкості, що реалізується за рахунок здатності мобілізації ресурсів, а отже, й створює основу для підвищення рівня потенціалу економічної безпеки. Особливістю такого концептуального підходу є система ідентифікації його складових за допомогою узагальнених і обґрунтованих ознак, що сприяє адекватному до зовнішнього і внутрішнього середовищ прийняттю рішення і впровадженню його в діяльність підприємства. Запропоновано визначення фінансового забезпечення потенціалу економічної безпеки як створення структурованих системних шляхів для безперервного спрямування різних оплачених видів ресурсів, які за допомогою переносу своїх якостей підвищують можливості підприємства до протидії загрозам його розвитку та ведення господарської діяльності. Це дозволить на підставі обраної модульної архітектоніки на єдиному підґрунті розробити інші типи забезпечення потенціалу економічної безпеки, таких як інформаційне, організаційне, кадрове та інші. Установлено, що управління підприємством як економічною системою вимагає вирішення багатьох проблем, зумовлених як зовнішніми, так і внутрішніми чинниками. Тому концепція контролінгу виступає одним із ключових факторів управління потенціалом економічної безпеки підприємства, яка дозволяє вирішувати в комплексі низку таких питань, як стабільне функціонування підприємства в довгостроковій перспективі; виявлення і приведення в дію наявних резервів; оперативне та ефективне впровадження стратегії управління потенціалом економічної безпеки підприємства та інше. Запропоновано характеризувати контролінг управління потенціалом економічної безпеки підприємством як системою, яка спрямована на досягнення довгострокових цілей шляхом координування стратегічного і оперативного рівнів управління. Мета стратегічного контролінгу – забезпечення відповідного рівня потенціалу економічної безпеки в довгостроковому періоді, мета оперативного – забезпечення відповідного рівня потенціалу економічної безпеки в короткостроковому періоді шляхом розробки та реалізації відповідних заходів щодо використання наявних ресурсів. Проаналізовано сутність організаційно-економічного механізму управління потенціалом економічної безпеки підприємства, що передбачає досягнення ефективних параметрів функціонування, збереження фінансового, виробничого і кадрового потенціалів, формування умов для надійного та конкурентоздатного функціонування. В запропонованій структурі організаційно-економічного механізму управління потенціалом економічної безпеки підприємства відображено компоненти економічної та організаційної складових, де особливе місце належить контролінгу. Виявлено, що розвиток економіки України супроводжується трансформаційними процесами, які створюють певні небезпеки для суб’єктів господарювання машинобудівної галузі, оскільки вона характеризується тривалим операційно-фінансовим циклом, що впливає на посилення ризику інвестування, не дозволяє здійснювати відтворювальні процеси та підтримувати необхідний науково-технічний рівень підприємств. Доведено необхідність упровадження механізму управління економічною стійкістю підприємств машинобудування до динамічних умов сучасної економіки, який є важливою складовою управління потенціалом економічної безпеки підприємств та однією з найважливіших умов ефективного функціонування та розвитку підприємств в економіці країни, умовою досягнення поточних і перспективних цілей, які певною мірою визначаються рівнем конкуренції на внутрішньому та зовнішньому ринках. Запропоновано теоретико-методичний підхід до оцінювання потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємств на підґрунті визначення локальних показників виробничої, фінансової та кадрової складових, що дає змогу охарактеризувати рівень достатності фінансових, кадрових і виробничих ресурсів для забезпечення розширеного відтворення та економічної безпеки підприємства, підвищити потенціал економічної безпеки у процесі діяльності, виявити основні аспекти діяльності підприємства, що негативно впливають на потенціал економічної безпеки, та забезпечити найбільш прийнятні напрями й форми управління потенціалом економічної безпеки машинобудівних підприємств. Зазначено, що підприємства функціонують як відкрита система, тобто відбувається безперервна взаємодія між компаніями і їх зовнішнім середовищем, для якого характерний надзвичайно високий ступінь складності, невизначеності та взаємопов’язаності. Це визначає кількість факторів, на які підприємство зобов’язано реагувати, а також рівень варіантності кожного з них, що визначає вплив на формування потенціалу економічної безпеки. Обґрунтовано, що з метою ефективного функціонування підприємства необхідно оцінювати вплив зовнішнього середовища на його потенціал економічної безпеки, яке може як негативно впливати на економічну безпеку, так і сприяти подальшому економічному розвитку. Найбільш доцільним підходом до визначення впливу зовнішнього середовища на функціонування машинобудівних підприємств є логістичний підхід, який дає змогу простежити зміни в межах окремих складових системи та її підсистем і взаємний вплив. Запропоновано оцінку впливу зовнішнього середовища на потенціал економічної безпеки підприємства здійснювати з використанням кваліметричного прогнозування шляхом розрахунку інтегрального показника, який характеризує вплив соціально-демографічного середовища, науково-технологічного середовища, економічного середовища, політикоінституціонального середовища на потенціал економічної безпеки. Означене дає змогу підприємству швидко адаптуватися до змін і приймати стратегічні рішення щодо подальшого розвитку. Сформовано систему стратегічного та оперативного контролінгу функціонування підприємства, в основі якої є аналіз і контроль зовнішнього середовища, визначення і контроль потенціалу та зони економічної безпеки, формулювання та контроль стратегічних орієнтирів. Це уможливлює розроблення рекомендацій щодо гармонізації управління потенціалом економічної безпеки підприємств. Розроблено та апробовано методичний підхід до оцінки потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємств за виробничою, фінансовою і кадровою складовими на основі відбору найбільш значущих показників шляхом кваліметричного прогнозування та кореляційно-регресійного аналізу. Окреслене забезпечило побудову багатофакторних моделей складових і дозволило визначити напрями підвищення потенціалу економічної безпеки аналізованих підприємств і на зовнішньому, і на внутрішньому ринках. Сформовано визначення рівня потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємств шляхом розрахунку інтегрального показника на основі кваліметричного прогнозування. Це допомагає сформувати стратегічні орієнтири управління потенціалом економічної безпеки підприємств. Запропонована оцінка рівня потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємства дозволяє: адекватно оцінити можливість і готовність підприємства до розвитку і стабільного функціонування; проаналізувати і спрогнозувати тенденції розвитку підприємства, виявити його сильні і слабкі сторони; підготувати рекомендації із підвищення потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємства та механізм їх реалізації. Запропоновано матрицю визначення зони економічної безпеки з урахування чинників зовнішнього середовища функціонування підприємств і наявного потенціалу економічної безпеки, що дозволяє розробити заходи щодо підвищення конкурентоздатності підприємств машинобудування як на зовнішньому, так і на внутрішньому ринках. Обґрунтовано доцільність здійснювати вибір стратегічних орієнтирів управління потенціалом економічної безпеки машинобудівних підприємств шляхом побудови ієрархії, проведення парних порівнянь критеріїв вибору стратегічних орієнтирів щодо фокусу ієрархії. Це дасть змогу забезпечити збалансовані темпи перманентного зростання і безпечного розвитку підприємства з урахуванням його захисту від зміни внутрішніх і зовнішніх загроз на доволі тривалий час. Розроблено модель обґрунтування вибору напрямів підвищення рівня потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємства залежно від його стратегічних орієнтирів, заснованої на визначенні відповідності рівня потенціалу економічної безпеки підприємства рівню впливу зовнішнього середовища та вибору можливих заходів. Розроблено процес формування системи енергоменеджменту машинобудівного підприємства, який ґрунтується на методології функціонального моделювання IDEF0, здійснено деталізацію процесу, ідентифіковано входи і виходи процесу, керуючі впливу і механізми реалізації (персонал, технічні засоби, організаційно-методичне забезпечення і фінанси). Це уможливлює успішну реалізацію будь-якого з вирізнених напрямів і підвищення енергетичної ефективності машинобудівних підприємств. Обґрунтовано стратегічні орієнтири диференційованого зростання і підвищення рівня зони економічної безпеки ПрАТ «Вовчанський агрегатний завод», ДП «Харківський авіаремонтний завод «Тора»», ДП «Одеський авіаційний завод», ДП «Харківський машинобудівний завод» «ФЕД»», ПрАТ «Дніпропетровський агрегатний завод», ДП «Луцький ремонтний завод «Мотор», ПАТ «Мотор Січ». Вибір стратегічних орієнтирів здійснено, спираючись на об’єктивну інформацію про стан їх потенціалу економічної безпеки, а також про фактичний рівень зони їх економічної безпеки. This thesis gives the results of solving an important scientific-practical problem related to the theoretical-methodological substantiation of the provisions and the providing of practical recommendations for the development of the mechanism of formation of the enterprise`s potential of economic security and the use of the system of evaluation of its components. It is proved in the thesis that the problem of detecting the features of identifying the economic stability of an enterprise as the basis of its economic security potential will identify two nomenclature groups of research, namely economic sustainability and economic security potential, which are used as the key to categorization of the main task. Analyzing the internal and external processes of the enterprise through their relationships and the need for their coordination with the internal components of the enterprise, a conceptual approach for identifing the economic stability of the enterprise as the basis of its potential for economic security was created. Certain components can be developed and involved in the formation of economic sustainability, which comes at the expense of the ability to mobilize resources, and therefore creates the basis for increasing the level of economic security potential. The peculiarity of such conceptual approach is the system of identification of its constituents by means of generalized and substantiated features, which contributes to the appropriate decision-making approach according to the conditions of external and internal environment and its implementation in the enterprise. The definition of financial support to the potential of economic security is proposed as creation of structured systematic ways for continuous directing of different paid kinds of resources, which by means of transfer of their qualities increase the ability of the enterprise to counter the threats of its development and conducting economic activity. This will allow, on the basis of the chosen modular architecture, to develop on a single basis other types of providing the potential of economic security such as information, organizational, personnel and other. It is established that the management of the enterprise as an economic system requires solving many problems caused by both external and internal factors, so the concept of controlling is one of the key factors of managing the potential of economic security of the enterprise, which allows to solve a number of issues in the complex, such as : stable operation of the enterprise in the long run; identification and activation of existing reserves; prompt and effective implementation of the enterprise's economic security potential management strategy and other. The author proposes to characterize controlling the management of economic security potential of an enterprise as a system that aims at achieving long-term goals by coordinating the strategic and operational level of management. The purpose of strategic controlling is to ensure an adequate level of economic security potential in the long term, the objective of operational control is to ensure an appropriate level of economic security potential in the short term by developing and implementing appropriate measures to use available resources. The organizational-economic mechanism of managing the potential of economic security of the enterprise, which envisages achievement of effective parameters of functioning, preservation of financial, production and personnel potential, formation of conditions for reliable and competitive functioning is proposed. In the proposed structure of the organizational-economic mechanism for managing the potential of economic security, the enterprises have reflected the components of the economic and organizational component and special place belongs to controlling. It is revealed that the development of the Ukrainian economy is accompanied by transformation processes that pose certain dangers for the economic entities of the engineering industry, as it is characterized by a long operational-financial cycle, which increases the risk of investment, does not allow to carry out reproduction processes and maintain the necessary scientific-technical level of enterprises. The necessity of introduction of the mechanism of management of economic stability of machine-building enterprises to the dynamic conditions of the modern economy, which is an important component of managing the potential of economic security of enterprises and is one of the most important conditions for effective functioning and development of enterprises in the economy of the country, a condition for achieving current and long-term goals, which are determined by the level of competition in the domestic and foreign markets is proved. The theoretical-methodological approach of estimating the potential of economic security of enterprises on the basis of determination of local indicators of production, financial and personnel components is offered, which allows to characterize the level of sufficiency of financial, human and production resources for ensuring extended reproduction and economic security of the enterprise; to increase the potential of economic security in the process of activity, to identify the main aspects of the activity of the enterprise, which negatively affect the potential of economic security and to provide the most acceptable directions and forms of management of the potential of economic security of machine-building enterprises. It is stated that the enterprises function as an open system, i.e. there is a continuous interaction between the companies and their external environment characterized by an extremely high degree of complexity, uncertainty and interconnection, which determines the number of factors that the enterprise is obliged to respond to, as well as the level of variability, which determines the impact on the formation of economic security potential. It is substantiated that for the effective functioning of the enterprise it is necessary to evaluate the influence of the external environment on its potential of economic security, which can both negatively affect the economic security and promote further economic development. The most appropriate approach to determining the impact of the environment on the functioning of machine-building enterprises is a logistical approach, which allows to trace changes within individual components of the system and its subsystems and mutual influence. It is suggested to assess the impact of the external environment on the potential of economic security of the enterprise using qualitative forecasting by calculating an integral indicator that characterizes the impact of socio-demographic environment, scientific-technological environment, economic environment, political-institutional environment on the potential of economic security, which enables the enterprise quickly adapting to change and making strategic decisions for further development. The system of strategic and operational control of the functioning of the enterprise is formed, based on the analysis and control of the environment, the definition and control of the potential and zone of economic security, formulation and control of strategic guidelines, which allows to develop recommendations for harmonization of the management of the potential of economic security of enterprises. A methodical approach to assessing the economic security potential of enterprises by production, financial and personnel components was developed and tested based on the selection of the most significant indicators through qualitative forecasting and correlation-regression analysis, which ensured the construction of multifactor models of components and allowed to determine the directions of increasing the potential of economic security of enterprises both on the domestic and foreign markets. The definition of the level of potential of economic security of enterprises is formed by calculating the integral indicator on the basis of qualimetric forecasting, which makes it possible to form strategic orientations for managing the potential of economic security of enterprises. The proposed assessment of the level of potential of economic security of the enterprise allows: adequately assess the ability and readiness of the enterprise for development and stable functioning; analyze and forecast trends in the enterprise development, identify its strengths and weaknesses; to prepare recommendations for enhancing the economic security potential of the enterprise and the mechanism for their implementation. The matrix of determination of the economic security zone based on the factors of the external environment of functioning of enterprises and the available potential of economic security is offered, which allows to develop measures to increase the competitiveness of machine-building enterprises both in the external and internal market. The choice of strategic guidelines for managing the potential of economic security of machine-building enterprises is substantiated by constructing a hierarchy, making pairwise comparisons of the criteria for choosing strategic benchmarks with respect to the focus of the hierarchy, that allowing to ensure a balanced rate of permanent growth and safe development of the enterprise, taking into account its protection against changes in internal and external threats for a rather long period of time. The model of substantiation of choice of directions of increase of level of enterprise`s potential of economic safety depending on its strategic orientations based on determination of correspondence of level of potential of economic security of enterprise to the level of influence of external environment and choice of possible measures is developed. The process of forming the energy management system of a machine-building enterprise based on the IDEF0 functional modeling methodology has been developed, the process details have been identified, the process inputs and outputs, control influences and mechanisms of implementation (personnel, technical means, organizational-methodological support and finances) have been carried out, which allows successful implementation of any of the selected areas and increase the energy efficiency of machine-building enterprises. Strategic orientations for differentiated growth and increase of the level of economic security zone of PJSC "Volchansk Aggregate Plant", SE "Kharkiv Aircraft Repair Plant "Tora", SE "Odessa Aviation Plant", SE "Kharkiv Machine Building Plant" "Fed", SJSC "Dnipropetrovsk repair plant”, SE "Lutsk repair plant "Motor", PJSC "MOTOR SICH" are justified. Strategic guidelines were selected based on objective information about the state of their economic security potential as well as the actual level of their economic security zone.

There are several technological solutions available in the market to help organizations with information security breach detection and prevention such as intrusion detection and prevention systems, antivirus software, firewalls, and spam filters. There is no doubt in the fact that significant progress has been made in the technological side of information security. However, when we study causes of information security breaches, we find that a significant number are caused by non-technical reasons such as social engineering, theft of computing device or portable hard drive, human behavior, and human error. This leads us to conclude that information security should not be viewed through technology perspective only. Instead, a more holistic approach is required. This thesis provides a systems approach towards information security management and include technological, management and social aspects. This thesis starts with introduction especially background and motivation of the author, followed by literature research. Next, Enterprise Information Security Management Framework is presented leading to estimation of an organization's information security management maturity-level. Finally, conclusion and potential future work are presented.

Economic theory knows a number of definitions of "threat", "crisis" and "factor", which are closely related when it comes to the question of ensuring the financial and economic security of the subject of economic activity. Threat in a broad sense is understood to mean a strong negative impact that arises from the danger, which is many times exacerbated by internal and external destructive factors. Thus, the question of consideration of possible destructive factors which can influence enterprise`s financial and economic security is actualized. Factor (from the Latin “factor” - one that does) - is the cause, the driving force of any process, the phenomenon that determines its nature or individual features [1]. In the context of this study, the factor is the reason that exacerbates the danger, turning it into a threat to enterprise`s financial and economic security in a market economy. This definition, in our opinion, most fully reflects the essence of this concept in relation to the security characteristics of any enterprise.
Економічна теорія знає ряд визначень "загроза", "криза" та "фактор", які тісно пов’язані, коли йдеться про питання забезпечення фінансових та економічна безпека суб’єкта господарської діяльності. Під загрозою в широкому розумінні розуміється сильний негативний вплив, що виникає внаслідок небезпеки, яка багаторазово посилюється внутрішніми та зовнішніми руйнівними факторами. Таким чином, актуалізується питання врахування можливих деструктивних факторів, які можуть впливати на фінансово-економічну безпеку підприємства. Фактор (від латинського «фактор» - той, що робить) - причина, рушійна сила будь-якого процесу, явища, що визначає його природу чи індивідуальні особливості [1]. У контексті цього дослідження фактор є причиною, яка посилює небезпеку, перетворюючи її в загрозу фінансовій та економічній безпеці підприємства в умовах ринкової економіки. Це визначення, на наш погляд, найбільш повно відображає суть цього поняття стосовно характеристики безпеки будь-якого підприємства.

The article discusses the features of building an internal audit system for the economic security of an enterprise. Special emphasis is placed on a risk-based approach to internal audit. A flowchart of the risk-based approach is proposed in which its main advantages are written. Ways to solve emerging problems in the field of internal audit are also suggested.

The category "economic security of an economic entity" is a combination of legal and economic conditions that ensure the sustainable functioning of business structures in the future. The importance of financial security lies in eliminating the risks of decreasing the productivity of an organization through the use of economic, labor, financial and natural resources in legal and efficient ways. Analysis and diagnostics of financial and economic activities of business entities are considered an integral part of ensuring economic security.The reliability of the results of these studies depends on the reliability of the information that is used as the main base. Ultimately, this is determined by the reliability of the enterprise's accounting system.

In modern conditions of unpredictability of economic activity, enterprises represent an open dynamic system. Functioning and development of the enterprises is influenced by numerous external and internal factors. Multiple threats of economic security may lead to negative consequences in form of solvency and financial stability violations, profitability reduction and other deterioration in the enterprise. In this regard, the relevance and the need of ensuring economic security of enterprises are increasing. The issues of economic security are relatively new to the national science. At the same time, a sufficient number of scientific literature devote to this topic. In this article is presented the analysis and the systematization of various definitions of economic security. On its basis, the authors have identified five main approaches. The relationship between economic security and other economic categories such as sustainability, effectiveness, development and independence was explained. In order to counter threats of economic security and to ensure stable functioning of enterprise, the system of economic security is developed and presented in the paper. Under this system, main ways of increasing the level of economic security of enterprises was presented. Ensuring of economic security of each enterprise serve as a basis for sustainable development both businesses and the economy as a whole.

The article is devoted to assessing the level of the financial component of the economic security of an enterprise.

This report describes the effects of climate change for Finland from the view of comprehensive security. The report examines both direct and indirect climate security risks as well as transition risks related to climate change mitigation. The report is based on previous research and expert interviews. Direct security risks refer to the immediate risks caused by the changing nature of natural hazards. These include the risks to critical infrastructure and energy systems, the logistics system, health and food security. Indirect security risks relate to the potential economic, political and geopolitical impacts of climate change. Climate change can affect global migration, increase conflict risk, and cause social tensions and inequality. Transition risks are related to economic and technological changes in energy transition, as well as political and geopolitical tensions and social problems caused by climate change mitigation policies. Reducing the use of fossil fuels can result in domestic and foreign policy tensions and economic pressure especially in locations dependent on fossil fuels. Political tension can also increase the risks associated with hybrid and information warfare. The security effects of climate change affect all sectors of society and the Finnish comprehensive security model should be utilized in preparing for them. In the short run, the most substantial arising climate change related security risks in Finland are likely to occur through indirect or transition risks. Finland, similar to other wealthy countries, has better technological, economic and institutional conditions to deal with the problems and risks posed by climate change than many other countries. However, this requires political will and focus on risk reduction and management.

Foundational education system commonly referred to as K-12 school education is fundamental for people to succeed in life as noted in United Nations declaration of human rights. Consequently, decades of investments have helped K-12 sector evolve and respond to new demands but many of the traditional thinking has remained and thus hinder agility and disruptive evolution of the system. In most countries the national school education systems are perhaps the largest single enterprise and subjected to socio-cultural, economic and political influences, which in turn make it reluctant and/or difficult to change the system. However, as the world transitions from industrial revolution to information revolution and now to knowledge economy, the foundational education sector has been confronted with several simultaneous challenges. The monograph reviews and analyses how these challenges may be supported in a system that is reliant on traditional rigid time frames and confronted by complex external pressures that are blurring the boundaries of the school education landscape. It is apparent that doing more of the same may not provide the necessary solutions. There is a need to explore new opportunities for reforming the school education space, including system structures, human resources, curriculum designs, and delivery strategies. This analytical work critiques current practices to encourage K-12 educators recognize the need to evolve and embrace disruptions in a culture that tends to be wary of change. The key considerations identified through this analytical work is presented as a set of recommendations captured under four broad areas commonly used in school improvement literature

Gendered Enterprise and Markets (GEM) is Oxfam GB’s approach to market systems development. The GEM approach facilitates change in market systems and social norms, with the aim of ensuring more sustainable livelihood opportunities for marginalized women and men. The GEM DFID AidMatch Programme (June 2014–February 2018) worked within the soya, milk and vegetable value chains targeting women smallholder farmers in areas of poverty. The programme aimed to benefit 63,600 people (10,600 smallholder households) living in Zambia, Tajikistan and Bangladesh through increases in household income, women having greater influence over key livelihood decisions within their households and communities, and engaging in livelihoods more resilient to shocks, such as natural disasters and market volatility. The GEM programme in Bangladesh was implemented under Oxfam Bangladesh’s flagship REE-CALL programme (Resilience, through Economic Empowerment, Climate Adaptation, Leadership and Learning). GEM operated in seven districts across Bangladesh, with the project activities implemented by seven local partners. The project aimed to establish 84 producer groups for smallholder dairy farmers, and this was achieved during the first year. Building on these local networks, GEM aimed to deliver a suite of training and support covering assertiveness, rights and leadership skills, agricultural practice and disaster risk management. The evaluation was designed to investigate if and how the GEM programme might have contributed to its intended outcomes – not only in the lives of individual women smallholder farmers targeted by the programme but also in changes in their communities and the larger market system. It also sought to capture any potential unintended outcomes of the programme.

In the decade after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, African Americans made historic gains in accessing employment opportunities in racially integrated workplaces in U.S. business firms and government agencies. In the previous working papers in this series, we have shown that in the 1960s and 1970s, Blacks without college degrees were gaining access to the American middle class by moving into well-paid unionized jobs in capital-intensive mass production industries. At that time, major U.S. companies paid these blue-collar workers middle-class wages, offered stable employment, and provided employees with health and retirement benefits. Of particular importance to Blacks was the opening up to them of unionized semiskilled operative and skilled craft jobs, for which in a number of industries, and particularly those in the automobile and electronic manufacturing sectors, there was strong demand. In addition, by the end of the 1970s, buoyed by affirmative action and the growth of public-service employment, Blacks were experiencing upward mobility through employment in government agencies at local, state, and federal levels as well as in civil-society organizations, largely funded by government, to operate social and community development programs aimed at urban areas where Blacks lived. By the end of the 1970s, there was an emergent blue-collar Black middle class in the United States. Most of these workers had no more than high-school educations but had sufficient earnings and benefits to provide their families with economic security, including realistic expectations that their children would have the opportunity to move up the economic ladder to join the ranks of the college-educated white-collar middle class. That is what had happened for whites in the post-World War II decades, and given the momentum provided by the dominant position of the United States in global manufacturing and the nation’s equal employment opportunity legislation, there was every reason to believe that Blacks would experience intergenerational upward mobility along a similar education-and-employment career path. That did not happen. Overall, the 1980s and 1990s were decades of economic growth in the United States. For the emerging blue-collar Black middle class, however, the experience was of job loss, economic insecurity, and downward mobility. As the twentieth century ended and the twenty-first century began, moreover, it became apparent that this downward spiral was not confined to Blacks. Whites with only high-school educations also saw their blue-collar employment opportunities disappear, accompanied by lower wages, fewer benefits, and less security for those who continued to find employment in these jobs. The distress experienced by white Americans with the decline of the blue-collar middle class follows the downward trajectory that has adversely affected the socioeconomic positions of the much more vulnerable blue-collar Black middle class from the early 1980s. In this paper, we document when, how, and why the unmaking of the blue-collar Black middle class occurred and intergenerational upward mobility of Blacks to the college-educated middle class was stifled. We focus on blue-collar layoffs and manufacturing-plant closings in an important sector for Black employment, the automobile industry from the early 1980s. We then document the adverse impact on Blacks that has occurred in government-sector employment in a financialized economy in which the dominant ideology is that concentration of income among the richest households promotes productive investment, with government spending only impeding that objective. Reduction of taxes primarily on the wealthy and the corporate sector, the ascendancy of political and economic beliefs that celebrate the efficiency and dynamism of “free market” business enterprise, and the denigration of the idea that government can solve social problems all combined to shrink government budgets, diminish regulatory enforcement, and scuttle initiatives that previously provided greater opportunity for African Americans in the government and civil-society sectors.

Topicality of modeling information transparency is determined by the influence it has on the effectiveness of management decisions made by an economic entity in the context of uncertainty and information asymmetry. It has been found that information transparency is a poorly structured category which acts as a qualitative characteristic of information and at certain levels forms an additional spectrum of properties of the information that has been adequately perceived or processed. As a result of structuring knowledge about the factor environment, a fuzzy cognitive model of information transparency was constructed in the form of a weighted digraph. Structural analysis and scenario forecasting of optimal alternatives of the fuzzy cognitive model made it possible to evaluate the classes of factors, identify their limited relations, establish the centrality of the roles of information transparency and information and communication security in the system built and evaluate their importance when modeling the situation self-development. Information visibility, reliability and availability have been found to have the strongest impact on the system. Taking into account different initial weights of the key factors — information transparency and information and communication security — the study substantiates the strategic ways for economic entities to achieve their goals in the context of uncertainty and information asymmetry, which allows us to use this approach as a tool for strategic management in the information environment.

This rapid review synthesises evidence on key aspects of mainstreaming institutional resilience and systems strengthening in donor policies and programming in FCAS (Fragile and Conflict-affect States) contexts, particularly in nutrition (food security), health, WASH and the economic sector. Institutional resilience is the ability of a social system (society, community, organisation) to absorb and recover from external shocks, while positively adapting and transforming to address long-term changes and uncertainty. Investing in strong, well-functioning and adaptable social systems, such as health, education and social protection systems, can build resilience, as this help to cushion the negative economic and social effects of crises. While development actors have established guidance on how institutions can be made more effective, inclusive and accountable, there is much less literature on institutional resilience and how development actors can help to foster it. Much of the literature notes a lack of systematic evidence on applying the concept of resilience. These gaps extend to a dearth of guidance on how development actors can mainstream institutional resilience and systems strengthening into their policies and programmes. This rapid review draws on common factors discussed in the literature that are considered important to the strengthening of resilience and particular systems. These may, in turn, provide an indication of ways in which to mainstream institutional resilience and systems strengthening into development policy and programming

In September 2015, Ghana along all UN member states endorsed the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the cardinal agenda towards achieving a prosperous global future. The SDGs are strongly interdependent, making progress in all goals essential for a country’s achievement of sustainable development. While Ghana and other West African nations have exhibited significant economic and democratic development post-independence. The judiciary system and related legal frameworks, as well as the lack of rule law and political will for safeguarding the human rights of its citizens, falls short of considering violations against minorities. Will Ghana be able to localize human rights related SDGs, given that West African governments historically tended to promote internal security and stability at the expense of universal human rights? This paper focuses on evaluating the commitments made by Ghana towards achieving Agenda 2030, with a particular focus on the SDGs 10 and 16 relating to the promotion of reduced inequalities, peace, justice and accountable institutions. Moreover, this paper also analyzes legal instruments and state laws put in place post Ghana’s democratization in 1992 for the purpose of preventing discrimination and human rights violations in the nation. The article aims to highlight how Ghana’s post-independence political experience, the lack of rule of law, flaws in the judiciary system, and the weak public access to justice are obstacles to its effective localization of human rights SGDs. Those obstacles to Ghana’s compliance with SDGs 10 and 16 are outlined in this paper through a consideration of human rights violations faced by the Ghanaian Muslim and HIV minorities, poor prison conditions, limited public access to justice and the country’s failure to commit to international treaties on human rights. Keywords: Ghana, human rights, rule of law, security, Agenda 2030

In many African countries south of the Sahara, farmers depend on the cultivation of vegetatively propagated crops (VPCs) for both consumption and commercial purposes. Yet yields for these crops remain at low levels due, in part, to the persistent use of low-quality planting material. Efforts to improve the quality of planting material exchanged in markets or through other channels are often hampered by the unique biological and economic characteristics of vegetative propagation—characteristics that distinguish VPCs from the major cereal crops that drive and shape the policy and investment choices made in many of these countries. This suggests that continued investment in new technologies and systems to produce, package, and distribute VPC planting materials will require customized policies and policy support if these systems are to supply farmers with quality planting material at any significant and sustained scale. This paper explores these issues in the context of the cassava seed system in Nigeria by drawing on (1) prior research, public policy documents, and government statistics; (2) key informant interviews and focus group discussions with seed system actors; and (3) a unique dataset from the 2015 Cassava Monitoring Survey of Nigeria (CMS). The paper examines the production and supply of cassava planting material, the influence of various quality assurance systems on production and supply, and the implications for smallholder farmers in Nigeria. We describe the market, non-market, and regulatory systems that shape the cassava seed market in Nigeria, focusing on effectiveness, influence, and reach. We then explore the ground realities—how farmers actually acquire and use cassava planting material—given the (weak) state of markets and regulation. This is followed by a discussion of alternative policy and regulatory approaches to managing and expanding the cassava seed system, emphasizing a more decentralized approach that prioritizes investment in innovative capacity at the community and enterprise levels.

In the face of the multiple shocks currently experienced by the domestic economy (resulting from the drop in oil prices and the appearance of a global pandemic), the Colombian financial system is in a position of sound solvency and adequate liquidity. At the same time, credit quality has been recovering and the exposure of credit institutions to firms with currency mismatches has declined relative to previous episodes of sudden drops in oil prices. These trends are reflected in the recent fading of red and blue tonalities in the performance and credit risk segments of the risk heatmaps in Graphs A and B.1 Naturally, the sudden, unanticipated change in macroeconomic conditions has caused the appearance of vulnerabilities for short-term financial stability. These vulnerabilities require close and continuous monitoring on the part of economic authorities. The main vulnerability is the response of credit and credit risk to a potential, temporarily extreme macroeconomic situation in the context of: (i) recently increased exposure of some banks to household sector, and (ii) reductions in net interest income that have led to a decline in the profitability of the banking business in the recent past. Furthermore, as a consequence of greater uncertainty and risk aversion, occasional problems may arise in the distribution of liquidity between agents and financial markets. With regards to local markets, spikes have been registered in the volatility of public and private fixed income securities in recent weeks that are consistent with the behavior of the international markets and have had a significant impact on the liquidity of those instruments (red portions in the most recent past of some market risk items on the map in Graph A). In order to adopt a forward-looking approach to those vulnerabilities, this Report presents a stress test that evaluates the resilience of credit institutions in the event of a hypothetical scenario thatseeks to simulate an extreme version of current macroeconomic conditions. The scenario assumes a hypothetical negative growth that is temporarily strong but recovers going into the middle of the coming year and has extreme effects on credit quality. The results suggest that credit institutions have the ability to withstand a significant deterioration in economic conditions in the short term. Even though there could be a strong impact on credit, liquidity, and profitability under the scenario being considered, aggregate capital ratios would probably remain at above their regulatory limits over the horizon of a year. In this context, the recent measures taken by both Banco de la República and the Office of the Financial Superintendent of Colombia that are intended to help preserve the financial stability of the Colombian economy become highly relevant. In compliance with its constitutional objectives and in coordination with the financial system’s security network, Banco de la República will continue to closely monitor the outlook for financial stability at this juncture and will make the decisions that are necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the economy, facilitate the flow of sufficient credit and liquidity resources, and further the smooth functioning of the payment system.
