6.6. General conclusions and proposals
Financial reporting is one of the most important sources of information for making managerial decisions, because it is on its basis the analysis of the financial condition of the company, which allows to identify trends in changes in economic performance and their causes, as well as give a forecast for future periods.
As part of this work, analysis of the financial condition of PJSC Vyborg Shipyard was performed.
As a result of the analysis, the following conclusions were drawn:
1) The property and financial condition of the enterprise is unsatisfactory on the whole. Many items of financial statements have negative dynamics of change. The balance does not correspond to the signs of "good balance". The enterprise´s activity is carried out at the expense of borrowed funds.
2) The enterprise is in pre-crisis condition, its financial situation is extremely unstable and tends to deteriorate.
3) The enterprise is illiquid. It does not have the means to quickly repay its liabilities.
4) Wavelike changes in many indicators can be caused by the specifics of the enterprise: orders are executed over a long period of time and are distributed unevenly. In this regard, the dynamics of indicators do not have a clear trend, and varies from year to year. Therefore, it is difficult to make a forecast about the state of the enterprise in future periods.
5) Without its own sources of financing, the enterprise is still functioning. This is most likely due to the availability of state support and receipt of state orders.
