Companies' Financial Security Mechanism under Hybrid Conflicts

This scientific article is devoted to the development of the mechanism of companies' financial security management and measures to improve it under the hybrid conflict. The study is conducted on the prerequisites of Ukrainian companies operating in the zone of hybrid conflict. The study aims to develop a mechanism for managing the financial security of Ukrainian companies operating under hybrid conflicts. Insufficient scientific research on improving companies' financial security under hybrid warfare and the government's imperfect regulation of financial security makes the topic relevant for scientific research. The academic paper highlights the theory that whilst the hybrid conflict weakens the level of financial security of the company improves. Statistical and mathematical methods of calculations are used to carry out empirical research. The correlation between the peace index and the index of financial security of Ukraine is determined. The article's novelty involves the development of risks classification associated with non-military actions affecting the companies' financial security management. The financial security management mechanism's functional components have been developed in the research; the steps to improve financial security have been outlined. Two directions of development of financial security management, based on changes in the geographical location of the enterprise and the continuation of work in a hybrid conflict, are proposed. Contentious views have confirmed the fact that changing the enterprise's geolocation is less widespread; consequently, the proposed directions for the development of financial security are of practical importance for business in the temporarily occupied territories.
