The process of assessing the financial stability of an agricultural enterprise and the possible introduction of elements of a risk management system is illustrated by the example of the agricultural organization JSC “Alabuga Sote” (the Republic of Tatarstan). In order to consider the financial stability of the enterprise, the following indicators were calculated: absolute liquidity ratio, current liquidity ratio, profitability on equity and profitability of sales. Based on these calculations, the company’s financial stability was assessed and possible measures were proposed to improve it. In addition to quantitative methods for assessing financial sustainability (calculations), there are also qualitative methods that are aimed at previously forecasting company risks such as SWOT analysis, PEST analysis, active monitoring of threat, threat matrix generation, Michael Porter model, mathematical modeling, construction of scenarios, the involvement of expert opinion and so on. The development and implementation of a risk management system is one of the most important directions for the development of the enterprise (including the agro-industrial complex). This mechanism is able to provide both financial stability and investment attractiveness of the organization.
