THE INFLUENCE OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FACTORS ON THE REENGINEERING OF BUSINESS PROCESSES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES

The article investigates the impact of environmental factors on the business process reengineering of transportation companies. The focus is specifically on the activities and business processes of Ukrainian transportation enterprises. Following a review of scientific and practical sources, a scientific task was set: to determine the impact of factors on the reengineering process through a proposed methodological approach to economic-mathematical modelling. The article utilizes correlation regression analysis and analysis-synthesis methods to evaluate the dynamics of key financial indicators of transportation enterprises. It emphasizes that reengineering should be based on the influence of various factors, not necessarily related exclusively to either the external or internal environment. The approach proposed in the work involves using regression models to analyze the impact of factors on the reengineering process. The study notes that innovation is revealed through the proposed model, which considers a range of key factors and indicators of the activity of Ukrainian transportation enterprises. Meanwhile, the authors stress that using this approach allows for identifying key factors in developing an effective reengineering strategy for transportation companies to optimize their operations. The research examines how different analysis methods can be used to detect changes in the impact of various types of factors, both external and internal, on the decision-making process regarding reengineering. The scientific novelty lies in a comprehensive approach to regression modelling of factor impacts on a relevant variable to identify the most significant factors for decision-making regarding reengineering. Alongside this, the research has limitations due to the focus on the specifics of the activity of only Ukrainian transportation enterprises. The goal is set for further research to conduct a similar study for other types of enterprises, particularly the food industry, which requires changes under wartime conditions.

The impact of local taxes and fees on the financial sustainability of territorial communities in times of war

The paper analyses the impact of local taxes and fees on the financial sustainability of territorial communities. The concept of financial sustainability is considered in relation to financial management, investment planning and debt control. It is noted that in the context of finance, the concept of ‘financial sustainability’ is identified with stability, security and flexibility. The author also analyses the share of local taxes and fees in the tax and total revenues of local budgets of Ukraine for the period 2021-2023. In turn, this allowed us to highlight changes in the structure of local budget revenues, in particular, changes in tax revenues and their relative contribution to total revenues. The calculated coefficients were used to highlight the role of local taxes and fees in ensuring financial sustainability on the example of the budget of the Lviv territorial community. The values of key financial indicators that characterise the level of financial sustainability of the budget of the Lviv city territorial community for the period 2021-2023 are also investigated. Using tables, the author analysed the coefficients such as the coefficient of independence, budget coverage, tax independence, budget security, subsidy and withdrawal of funds to the state budget. Fluctuations in these indicators over three years and their impact on the financial sustainability of local budgets in times of war were studied, i.e., the current state of the system of local taxes and fees was demonstrated. An important aspect of the study was the impact of the military conflict on the local taxation system in Ukraine, as in the context of the war in the country, it was necessary to consider not only the threat to security and stability, but also the economic consequences that significantly affect the financial support of local communities. Particular attention was paid to the efficient allocation of financial resources and the creation of reserve funds to ensure financial stability in unforeseen circumstances. The importance of local taxes as a key mechanism for strengthening the financial base and stability of territorial communities is highlighted, as this aspect contributes to their development and improves the quality of life of residents.

Some Aspects in Trade Recеivables Assessment

Abstract One of the most important aspects of operational financial management is related to the management of the working capital of enterprises. A significant portion of this capital is invested in trade receivables, which are obtained from deferred sales. On the one hand, nowadays trade credit has a stimulating effect on customer purchases, but on the other hand, incorrect assessment of the creditworthiness of customers and the risk of non-payment (default risk) can negatively affect the financial condition of the enterprise and lead to chain bankruptcies. In the specialized literature on company finance management, the problems of working capital management and risk management of trade receivables are considered in detail. However, the question of the complex assessment of the creditworthiness of customers and the decision on the optimal credit limit remains to some extent insufficiently developed. Summarizing the following key components considered in the literature – 1) overall economic situation, ownership, management and strategy of the company; 2) its revenue and profitability; 3) liquidity and financial leverage; 4) cash flow and turnover, this article focuses on developing and demonstrating the application of an approach to assess the financial condition of customers, to make an adequate decision on credit limit and to avoid the risk of non-payment of commercial loans. The article also presents the results of a descriptive statistical analysis regarding some key financial indicators of Bulgarian enterprises, the credit limits requested by them and the results of applying the presented model.

The techno-economic assessment reveals that such integration exhibits consistent economic viability, with minimal variations in key financial indicators like the levelized cost of electricity, payback period, and PV/wind energy fraction. The study also highlights green hydrogen production for on-grid PV/wind power charging the electrolyzer leads to the highest production cost (∼13 USD/Kg) compared to off-peak grid and a grid/PV/wind combination (∼6 USD/Kg). The projected hydrogen output is poised to support a significant number of light and heavy-duty vehicles by 2040, indicating promising potential for low-carbon transportation in Kentucky.

Study on the Motivation of Nonlinear Trajectory of Corporate Financialization and the Impact of Financial Performance

With the continuous changes in the global market environment and the intensification of trade friction between China and the United States, the downward pressure on China's real economy has increased. Entity enterprises have been involved in the financial and real estate and other virtual economy, in order to obtain high profits, the entity enterprise "de-realization to virtual" phenomenon is becoming more and more serious. In recent years, the state has introduced a series of policies to guide manufacturing enterprises to "return to the real", of which "deleveraging" in the supply-side structural reform has become an important means to regulate the disconnection between the real and the virtual economy. How to guide and promote the manufacturing enterprises to "return to reality" is the key to promote the high-quality development of China's economy, but how the impact needs to be studied in depth. Taking Huamao shares as a case study, this study selects 15 key financial indicators between 2010 and 2022, and applies the entropy method to quantitatively analyze the differential impact on financial performance of the company's financialization behavior between 2010 and 2019 and its de-financialization process from 2020 to the present. By deeply exploring the non-linear development trajectory of financialization and its specific impact on the financial performance of the company, this paper reveals that Huamao's financialization behavior, while promoting investment returns, has generated investment substitution effects and in turn has generated obvious crowding-out effects on the company's main business, thus weakening the profitability of the company. In view of this, it puts forward relevant policy suggestions for the financialization of manufacturing enterprises, which helps to guide industrial capital to return to the main business and accelerate the upgrading and transformation of manufacturing industry under the background of revitalization of the real economy vigorously advocated by the state and has certain guiding significance, and emphasizes the importance of returning to the manufacturing industry and the necessity of returning to the industry as the core engine for promoting the long-term and stable growth of China's economy in order to provide a reference path for the development of other financialized real enterprises. It emphasizes the importance and necessity of the return of the manufacturing industry as the core engine for promoting the long-term stable growth of China's economy, with a view to providing a reference path for the development of other financialized real enterprises.

The effect of off-balance sheet activities on credit risk of African banks

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of off-balance sheet activities on the credit risk of African banks. Design/methodology/approach The theory about the relationship between off-balance sheet activities and bank risk was used to construct a conceptual model of the effect of off-balance sheet on credit risk in an African context. The accounting approach is chosen by collecting accounting data extracted from the annual reports of 24 private and conventional African banks during the period 2010–2019. Both statistical and empirical studies are conducted. The statistical study aims to give a description of sample banks in terms of off-balance sheet activities and key financial indicators. The empirical study has the goal of exploring the correlations between, on the one hand, credit risk and, on the other hand, off-balance sheet ratio and control variables (bank- and country-specific variables). This study is based on dynamic panels using the two-step generalized method of moments technique to estimate regressions between credit risk and the explanatory variables. Findings The statistical study reveals that sample banks use moderately off-balance sheet activities; most of them use essentially guarantees and letters of credit, have satisfactory financial indicators and are slightly exposed to credit risk. The empirical results from the two-step generalized method of moments technique disclose that off-balance sheet activities have an intensifying effect on the credit risk of African banks. However, the increasing effect can be minimized when African banks use moderately off-balance sheet activities. Practical implications Using judiciously off-balance sheet activities does not exacerbate the exposure of African banks to credit risk. Therefore, managers of African banks are recommended to maintain a moderate level of off-balance sheet activities, especially guarantees and letters of credit. Originality/value The findings of this study eliminate the opacity about the effect of off-balance sheet activities on credit risk. Moreover, this study fulfills the huge gap in the related literature by completing the scarcity of recent studies, considering all items of the off-balance sheet, focusing on the African context, describing off-balance sheet activities and financial indicators of sample banks due to a statistical study and estimating regressions of dynamic panels between credit risk and both bank-specific and country-specific variables due to a two-step generalized method of moments technique.

Decrypting Cryptocurrencies: An Exploration of the Impact on Financial Stability

This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between cryptocurrency and various facets of the financial system. It seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how cryptocurrencies interact with, and influence, the stock market, the U.S. dollar’s strength, inflation rates, and traditional banking operations. This is carried out using linear regression models, Granger causality tests, case studies, including the collapse of the Futures Exchange (FTX), and the successful integration of Binance. The study unveiled a strong positive correlation between cryptocurrency market capitalization and key financial indicators like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Consumer Price Index, and traditional banking operations. This indicates the growing significance of cryptocurrencies within the global financial landscape. However, a mild association was found with the U.S. dollar, suggesting a limited influence of cryptocurrencies on traditional fiat currencies currently. Despite certain limitations such as reliance on secondary data, methodological choices, and geographic focus, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers, financial industry stakeholders, and academic researchers, underlining the necessity for continued study into the complex interplay between cryptocurrencies and financial stability.

Effectiveness of Tax Benefits for Information Technology Organizations in Russia

The subject of the study is a set of measures of tax incentives for the information technology industry in the Russian Federation — “tax maneuver in IT”, launched from the beginning of 2021. The purpose of the study is to identify and qualitatively assess the stimulating effect of the tax maneuver in IT, which is expressed in changes in key financial and natural performance indicators of IT industry organizations, and to develop proposals on ways of tax incentives for the development of the industry. The article describes the distortion of the aggregate tax reporting characterizing the IT industry, which takes into account not only recently established IT organizations, but also “nominal” separates from large organizations IT subdivisions or technically clarified classification code, making it inappropriate to use such reporting as a basis for analysis and reliable conclusions. Based on the data of the public financial statements of selected sample from the top-100 Russian IT organizations, the article analyzes the dynamics of financial indicators of their activities, among which are the profiles of profiles, operating profit, net profit, investment in basic assets, the number of staff, the amount of products supplied for export, the capitalization of the company. The observation was conducted for 2017– 2022 and covers the periods both before and during the engagement of tax benefits. A comparative study was carried out with similar indicators of the organizations of the “control group”, which included IT companies operating in other countries that were not affected by such tax benefits. According to the results of the study, small or no extra growth was observed in key financial indicators of IT organizations due to the tax maneuver compared with the “pre-maneuver” period and compared with the indicators of the control group. It is concluded that there is no evidence of a significant impact of the tax maneuver on the development of the IT industry in Russia. We proposed dismantling of the “maneuver” and transition, based on the Chinese and some EU countries approaches, to taxation of the qualified profit. The latter is the profit of Russian and foreign IT developers from the localization of IT development and value creation in Russia. The achievable effective rate is 2.5%.

EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF DEPRECIATION ON THE PROFITABILITY: UK FASHION COMPANIES

This study investigates the sophisticated dynamics of depreciation and its influence on the profitability of fashion companies in the United Kingdom. The UK's fashion industry has gained substantial growth recently and witnessed escalated sales in both new and used apparel. However, the fashion industry faces sustainability challenges due to the predominantly resulting rapid expansion of the fashion sector. In this competitive business environment, understanding the role of depreciation in shaping profitability becomes pivotal. Examining data collected from 17 UK-based fashion companies spanning the 2018 to 2022 period, this research precisely analyses how depreciation influences key financial indicators: return on assets, return on equity, and operational profit. The methodological approach involves the application of quantile regression analysis, and it offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between depreciation and these vital financial variables. The findings of this study reveal that there is no statistically significant relationship between depreciation and return on equity or return on assets within the purview of UK fashion companies. However, a positive and statistically significant relationship exists between the depreciation and operating profit. This positive relationship potentially arises from various factors such as enhanced asset utilization, long-term investments, involvement in capital-intensive industries, sustained revenue growth, and improvements in asset quality. These findings have significant implications for stakeholders within the UK fashion industry. While depreciation may not strongly influence return on equity or return on assets, its correlation with operational profit reveals a nuanced aspect of financial performance within these companies.

Assessing the Financial Viability and Sustainability of Circular Business Models in the Wine Industry: A Comparative Analysis to Traditional Linear Business Model—Case of Georgia

In the contemporary global context, waste management and the judicious utilization of resources have emerged as pressing concerns. Consequently, the concept of a circular business model has gained prominence as a viable solution. This innovative model reframes waste not as a disposable byproduct but as an opportunity to generate new value, setting it apart from the conventional linear business model, particularly in financial, economic, and operational dimensions. Numerous industries grapple with the issue of excessive waste generation, among them the wine industry, notable for its substantial water and grape waste outputs. This predicament holds significant ramifications both on a global scale and within the specific context of Georgia. Yet, it also presents an innovative avenue for waste recycling. This study draws upon a comprehensive review of internationally recognized literature, noted for their scholarly significance and citation prevalence. In its practical segment, two distinct investment projects have been meticulously developed which seek to evaluate the financial viability of the circular business model in contrast to the conventional linear business model. The investment projects considered are as follows: 1. Under the framework of a linear business model, the company exclusively engages in the production and sale of wine. 2. Within the circular business model paradigm, the company not only produces wine but also harnesses waste processing to yield grape seed oil, which is subsequently marketed alongside wine bottles. Both models undergo rigorous scrutiny, employing a comprehensive analysis of key financial indicators essential for assessing project profitability and efficiency. The outcomes of this investigation reveal that, under identical capital investment conditions, the circular business model surpasses the linear model in terms of profitability. This underscores the potential for sustainable practices within the wine industry and the broader business landscape.

Enhancing Analytical Precision in Company Earnings Reports through Neurofuzzy System Development: A Comprehensive Investigation

The object of research is the fundamental and technical indicators of companies after the release of the earnings report. This study attempts to address the issue of understanding the impact of fundamental and technical analysis indicator dynamics on profits and loss news releases. This research provides an in-depth analysis of stock price forecasting models, focusing on the influence of earning report seasons as catalysts for stock price growth. The study explores the relationship between key financial indicators, including earnings per share (EPS), revenue, and the maximum price observed in the 52-week period of the previous year (MaxW52). A trading algorithm is developed based on the adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Through a comprehensive analysis of the neural network’s training sample, it is concluded that abnormally large negative indicators have a profound impact on traders’ emotional reactions. This results leads to a hypothesis for further research, suggesting that report indicators may be processed by computational algorithms, potentially including artificial intelligence (AI).

Evaluating Performance Incorporating Multi-Criteria Decision Making and ESG Index: The Case of Taiwanese PCB Industry

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) industry is known as the "mother of electronic system product" in the high-tech electronics industry. When this industry enters a mature stage, cost control becomes the key to its success. Additionally, as the corporate’s awareness of social responsibility like ESG (Environment, Social, & Governance) has risen, the cost control remains a critical indicator for evaluating a company's performance. This study uses the consolidated financial statements of 35 companies in Taiwan's listed PCB industry through collecting data from the Taiwan Stock Exchange from 2022 to 2022. This study chooses 16 key financial indicators through expert opinions and selects 7 input variables and 5 output variables from 5 screening criteria. Then, through the normalization of grey relational data, the degree of influence of each indicator on the performance of PCB manufacturers is analyzed, and which independent variables have better prediction power through the multiple regression model is achieved. The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) analysis in Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) is applied to identify the ranking. The relative distance compared with the best manufacturer and the worst manufacturer is used to evaluate and rank the pros and cons of each ranking. VIKOR is then used to analyze ranking further. The results of data analysis have shown slightly different rankings based on TOPSIS and VIKOR. However, it seems the analysis of VIKOR is more accurate. The comparison of Taiwanese PCB manufacturers before and after the ranking is also revealed. Several practical directions for corporate planning or improvement are suggested. The link between ESG indicators and finance is observed not significant.
