Theoretical Foundations, Main Features and Description of The Concept of Financial Stability

This article examines the theoretical foundations, principal characteristics and practical meaning of financial stability in enterprise management. Financial stability is interpreted as a complex economic category that reflects the ability of an enterprise to maintain solvency, balance its own and borrowed resources, organise cash flows efficiently and preserve operational continuity under changing market conditions. The study systematises different scholarly approaches to the definition of financial stability, clarifies its key forms and identifies the main indicators used in evaluating an enterprise's financial position. Particular attention is paid to financial control, working capital management, receivables and payables, asset liquidity, cost-volume-profit analysis, operating leverage and the margin of safety. The findings show that financial stability cannot be assessed through a single indicator; rather, it requires an integrated analysis of liquidity, capital structure, profitability, payment discipline and the quality of financial management. The article also proposes practical measures for preventing financial instability and strengthening the financial resilience of enterprises in the context of economic modernisation.
