Organization of scientific research in the system of financial and economic security: Essence, tasks and methodological approaches

Abstract

The purpose of the article is the study of the essence, objectives and methodological approaches to the organization of scientific research in the system of financial and economic security. Methodology. The scientific works of scientists in the organization of scientific research of financial and economic security are the theoretical and methodological basis of the study. In order to achieve the established goal of the article, the following research methods were used: theoretical generalization – the essence, the system of indicators for assessing financial and economic security; methods of positive and normative analysis – for the development of recommendations for improving the organization of research in the system of financial and economic security. Results. The essence of the definition of financial and economic security system has been investigated. The absence of a singular approach to defining the essence of the concept of financial and economic security among domestic scientists has been determined. The difference in approaches of domestic scientists to the financial and economic security have been proven. The following approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of economic security of the enterprise have been outlined as protection against: unauthorized access to information; methods of unlawful competition, threats. Also, the economic security of the enterprise is distinguished as a state of stability or equilibrium or efficient use of its resources. Some define economic security as dependent on the harmonization of interests. A system of indicators characterizing the state of financial and economic security and meeting such requirements is presented: are easy to calculate and understand; substantial and meaningful; based on current accounting and statistical reporting; operational for appropriate response to the state of financial security; characterize the qualitative and quantitative state in statics and dynamics. In the process of conducting scientific and economic research is described as task-solving. The mechanism of economic security management is revealed. Among the main methods of assessing the system of financial and economic security the following are determined: peer review, regression and analysis of variance, regression method and the method of exponential smoothing methods fuzzy systems, cluster and discriminant analysis. Systematization of methodological approaches to the organization of scientific research in the system of financial and economic security has shown that they are defined in terms of resource (investment) system, infrastructure (cluster) and process approaches. Practical significance. The research of essence, tasks and methodical approaches of the organization of scientific researches in the system of financial and economic safety which can be used by applicants and scientists and pedagogical workers of higher education is resulted. Prospects for further research. Formation of the organization of scientific research in systems of financial and economic safety.
