The article examines the essence of the concept of "equity capital" and conceptual approaches to itsdefinition and classification. It has been determined that the concept of "capital" has had roots since antiqu ity, and meant a source of accumulation of wealth. However, in today's conditions of the market system capital is generalizing and at the same time varied, because it covers intellectual, natural, social capital. The importance of the correct calculation of structural equilibrium, which is a guarantee of financial competitiveness,financial stability and solvency in modern fast financial, economic and legislative changes, has been substantiated. Three approaches to the classification of the structure of the enterprise according to the normativelegislative base (national and international) and practical aspect has been determined. The practical analytical analysis of the equity structure based on the financial statements of the enterprise indicates that the equity of the enterprise in the current conditions of management decreases, in particular, by increasing the uncovered loss. The advantage of debt capital in the form of payables proves the need to make optimal decisionson timely control and adjustment of the capital structure of the enterprise due to the dynamics and featuresof socio-economic and financial processes in Ukraine.

The paper considers various interpretations of the essence of equity capital. The concept of equity capital is viewed from the perspective of property as a venture capital, i. e. business property, which does not guarantee profits and dividends, and for which there is no clear schedule of returning funds to investors and shareholders. The most common equity capital components in national and foreign practice are examined and compared. It is pointed out that the equity components mainly used in Ukraine are defined by the National Accounting Standards. Alternatively, the structure of equity capital components in foreign practice relies on the Conceptual Framework of Financial Statements, but it is further detailed by national standards of each country and depends on its policy and accounting characteristics. The structure of equity capital in foreign practice may be influenced by shareholders’ decisions on the establishment of funds (additional capital), allocation of profits, transactions with treasury shares. It is made clear that in most countries equity capital components include joint stock capital, surplus reserves, and retained profit. The article reviews the classification of equity capital, viewed as the key factor, and determines its influence on accounting principles and policies. It is concluded that in regulatory documents, there are no clear lines between types of equity capital. The paper also discusses various views of scholars on equity capital arrangement. It is found that in research works, equity capital is classified based on various characteristics, but the majority of researchers consider sources of equity capital to be the main criterion. In addition, there is no consensus among academics as to what types of equity capital can be singled out by the criterion described. Taking into consideration some proposals of scholars and foreign practice related to ac- counting of equity capital, the author develops a generalized structure of equity capital which is based on the sources of capital formation and includes: invested capital, particularly registered capital (statutory and mandatory share capital), corrective capital (unpaid and withdrawn capital), additional capital (capital received from investors for stock that exceeds the par value of the stock, i.e. additional equity capital); acquired capital (assets received for free, capital formed from revaluation of assets, other capital) and reinvested capital (retained profits (uncovered losses) and surplus reserves). The above equity structure can be used to prepare financial statements in order to increase its informational value. Proposals are given on how to improve methods for accounting of equity capital, in particular accounting of additional capital invested by founders in the account entitled “Non-registered investments of owners”.

During the quarantine measures introduced due to the spread of COVID-19, there was a decrease in demand for energy resources, which, while maintaining supply from oil companies, led to a sharp decline in energy prices. As a result, oil industry enterprises are in crisis conditions and now it is important to assess the level of their economic security. In the article, the source of information on the financial results and changes in the financial position of oil companies is their public financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The authors assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economic security of PJSC NK Rosneft, PJSC NK Lukoil, PJSC NK Bashneft, PJSC Tatneft, PJSC Gazprom Neft on the basis of a horizontal analysis of financial investments, reserves, equity capital and revenues of oil companies under IFRS for 2019 and 2020. The article provides a calculation and analysis of liquidity and financial stability indicators, as well as an assessment of the likelihood of bankruptcy of enterprises according to three models based on IFRS reporting. The most vulnerable to the consequences of quarantine measures was PJSC NK Rosneft, which is confirmed by the data of an assessment of its financial condition.

The article highlights the features of accounting receivables at the enterprise based on a comparison of national and international standards. The authors identified conceptual problems in accounting receivables and clearly outlined the differences between national and international accounting standards. An explanation of the differences in the standards themselves as the basic regulations governing the reflection of receivables in accounting. The experience of foreign countries, in particular the United States, on the peculiarities of accounting receivables is also reflected. The concept of bad receivables and its reflection in national and international standards is defined separately. An important role is played by the classification of receivables for accounting and reporting purposes. The authors identified possible threats in case of non-compliance with the rules of classification of receivables and risks to the financial stability of enterprises. An important place in the article belongs to the question of the relationship between the concepts of bad receivables and receivables to be written off, i.e. the statute of limitations has expired. It should be noted that International Financial Reporting Standards do not have an interpretation of the concept of "Accounts receivable", as defined in the Ukrainian accounting legislation. This becomes a contradictory point in the preparation of financial statements according to international standards. That is why the authors propose to apply a specific classification of receivables depending on the maturity in order to simplify the preparation of financial statements. Also the accrual of the provision for doubtful debts and the choice of the method of its calculation in accordance with national provisions (standards) of accounting and financial reporting is important. Proper and timely calculation of the doubtful debts provision gives companies the opportunity to reduce the base of income tax. Most Ukrainian companies choose the "absolute amount" method, which is a simpler and more realistic option if there are not many overdue debts. The authors also suggest options for improving the accounting of receivables in accordance with national and international standards.

Subject. The article considers ratings of banks' reliability. Objectives. The aim is to evaluate the accuracy of existing methodology for bank reliability assessment based on official reporting, to identify patterns between indicators and factors that can affect the financial sustainability of a bank. Methods. The study draws on the comparative analysis of key indicators of bank's financial statements one year prior to the introduction of provisional administration, and evaluates the results of existing methods for analyzing the financial standing of banks. Results. The findings show that those methods that use only official reporting to assess the reliability of banks are not sufficient for short-term forecasting of financial stability. Ratings of the majority of agencies that rest on official reporting have a high percentage of erroneous results, therefore, rating agencies are not able to predict the regulator's decisions regarding a credit institution. Conclusions. Currently, there are no universal methods to determine reliability, which would provide a correct forecast of deteriorated financial position of the bank. It is important to use a systems approach, where financial reporting is not a key component.
