Analysis of the probability of bankruptcy
The stable insolvency of the organization serves as the basis for detailed analysis. The purpose of such an analysis is to identify the reasons for the deterioration in the financial condition of the organization and the possibilities for getting out of the crisis. Since March 1998, the Federal Law "On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)" has been enacted in Russia. Insolvency (bankruptcy) is the debtor's inability recognized by the arbitration court or the debtor's inability to fully satisfy the creditors' claims for monetary obligations and (or) fulfill obligations to pay mandatory payments.
