Practical Aspects of Assessing the Economic Security of a Transport Company

Transport is an important sector of the country’s economy. Its activities have an impact on other businesses and the public. It is important that enterprises in the transport industry achieve a state of economic security. The absence of a unified definition of the concept of “economic security” and approaches to its assessment is shown. It is noted that the concept of “financial security” is closely related to the concept of “economic security.” It has been shown that without financial security, it is impossible to achieve a state of economic security. On the example of the most important enterprise of railway transport in Russia, an assessment of the financial condition, financial security and economic security was carried out. Extremely low economic security of the enterprise was revealed. Based on the analysis, some ways have been proposed to improve the financial and economic security of the enterprise in question.
