Kovalev V.V. Financial management: theory and practice. M.: Prospekt, 2006. 1016 p.

The first books on financial management to appear on the Russian educational market were translated works by American authors. In 1992-1997 The Finance and Statistics publishing house published a series of educational literature on accounting and auditing IMSTS consisting of eight books, including the work of the famous American specialist J. Van Horne “Fundamentals of Financial Management” (1996). In 1997, the Russian reader was offered two more translated works: 1) Brigham Yu, Gapensky L. Financial management: Complete course: In 2 volumes (St. Petersburg: Economic School) and 2) Braley R., Myers S. Principles corporate finance(M.: Olimp-Business). In the same years, works by Russian authors V. A. Lyalin, E. S. Stoyanova and others appeared, devoted to the problems of financial management of a company. To date, the circle of domestic specialists involved in this, which has become a very fashionable and sought-after area of ​​financial and economic science, has expanded significantly. Unfortunately, the titles of textbooks and monographs by Russian authors do not always correspond with their content. One should agree with the opinion of Prof.

V.V. Kovalev that many works of an educational and educational-methodological nature do not stand up to any criticism and do not correspond at all in their content to the logic of the discipline “Financial Management”. As a rule, they are either old textbooks on finance from the period of developed socialism, which have only changed the title, but not the content, or brochures with an eclectic set of topics, including a very superficial, unsystematized description of some new financial instruments and methods of analysis.

The fundamental monograph under review stands out significantly against this background. The author proposed an original approach to formulating the essence of financial management, its structuring and content. The approach, which the author calls object-procedural, is based on a clear identification of: a) the objects of attention of the financial manager and b) the procedural side of his activities. The author defines financial management as a system of actions to optimize the financial model of a company. And since the best financial model of a company is its reporting and its essential core - the balance sheet, it becomes possible to give a more substantive definition: financial management is a system of actions to optimize the company's balance sheet. It is by starting from the balance sheet that it is possible to clearly and consistently identify the objects of attention of the financial manager, that is, to reproduce the statics of the company’s financial management. As for the procedural side of its activities, reflecting the dynamics of financial management, here, as a rule, attention is concentrated on two aspects: investment and financial. As for me-

According to the author, the most complete and adequate understanding of the scope of activity of a financial manager can be obtained by formulating five key questions that determine the very essence of his work: 1. Is the enterprise’s position in the markets of goods and factors of production favorable and what measures contribute to its non-deterioration? 2. Do cash flows ensure the rhythm of payment and settlement discipline? 3. Does the average enterprise operate efficiently? 4. Where to invest financial resources with the greatest efficiency? 5. Where to get the required financial resources?

The proposed approach determined the logic of structuring the book. The work contains seven major sections. The first section (chapters 1-8) is devoted to an introduction to the theory of finance. Sections two to six (chapters 9-23) reveal the essence of the key questions formulated by the author that determine the procedural side of the financial manager’s activities. IN last section(chapters 24-25) the specifics of financial decisions in atypical situations are considered, to which the author includes inflation, changes in the organizational and legal form, pre-bankruptcy and international aspects of the company’s activities.

In the monograph by prof. V.V. Kovalev presents topics and aspects of the theory and practice of financial management that have not been sufficiently discussed in the domestic specialized literature. First of all, the author’s approach to defining the category “finance” (p. 29), which is fundamentally different from that traditionally used by Russian specialists, deserves attention. In this light, the touched upon historical aspect of the development of financial science (pp. 53-74) is interesting, demonstrating the peculiarities of the formation of the neoclassical theory of finance.

It seems justified that financial management as an independent scientific and practical direction was formed at the intersection of three sciences: neoclassical theory of finance, accounting and general management theory (p. 7885). The author’s idea that the beginning of the path to practical financial management of a company, undoubtedly, lies in accounting (p. 14) also deserves attention. Indeed, the idea of ​​the flow of cash flows is most clearly given in accounting - understanding the logic of the movement of funds through accounts allows you to clearly understand the consequences of a particular financial transaction and, as a result, make informed financial decisions. The work also examines in detail such little-studied topics as fair value (p. 285-303), goodwill (p. 303-328), financial instruments (p. 124-152), operating and financial leverage (p. 514 -544), modeling of a company’s inflationary income (p. 908-919), etc.

An interesting section is devoted to the income, profit and profitability of the company. The monograph proposes to consider the main evaluation indicator - profit - in the context of three approaches: economic, entrepreneurial and accounting. In addition to the indicators of accounting profit that are well known to the Russian reader, the book analyzes indicators formed in the context of value-oriented management of a company (in particular, economic added value). The essence of the author's ideas in this direction is presented in general theses, reflecting the managerial aspects of the formation and assessment of the final financial result (pp. 509-512). The reader's attention is drawn to the multiplicity of profit indicators and their unequal importance in the context of the interests of various persons interested in the activities of a given company.

A significant part of the monograph is devoted to the management of company assets. At the same time, the criteria for assessing real investments are considered (pp. 605-659), management methods working capital(p. 666-698), methods of analytical substantiation of transactions with financial assets (p. 699-762).

Most books by Russian specialists pay virtually no attention to managing the capital structure and the cost of a company’s sources of financing. In the work under review, this aspect of the financial manager’s activity is discussed in great detail.

Of significant interest are the materials of the work devoted to the relationship between profit and dividends (pp. 872-880), and the author draws attention to the specifics of reflecting profit in the company’s statements and to the relationship between the indicators of net and retained earnings, on the one hand, and dividends, on the other.

In the section devoted to the peculiarities of financial management in atypical situations, attention is drawn to the author's simulation modeling technique in assessing possible problems with solvency (pp. 946-948).

Any voluminous monograph, written with deep knowledge and interest, should contribute to the emergence of discussions that are of great importance for the development of fundamental science.

It should be noted that the original author's definition of finance needs more clear justification and development. The fundamental characteristic of the category “finance” must include a time aspect. In this case, the distinction between the closely related concepts of “commodity-money circulation” (simultaneous counter-movement of equivalents), “credit” (multi-temporal movement of values) and “finance” (unidirectional movement of values) would appear quite understandable.

Such a fundamental monograph opens up new scientific horizons and allows us to begin developing new areas, such as financial management in the public sector of the economy, financial management in non-profit organizations. In this regard, using the author’s logic, it can be reliably stated: if the essential core of the financial model of a company is the balance sheet, then for the financial model of the state or municipality this is the budget.

The materials on newfangled financial instruments seem somewhat out of context in the book; it would be advisable to give examples of the dividend policy of Russian companies in the work.

The introductory remarks made for subsequent discussions in no way detract from the merits of the book - it certainly represents the most significant phenomenon in the financial and economic literature at the turn of the century and makes a significant contribution to the creation, recognition and development of the national school of applied analysis and financial management.

The reader's attention should be drawn to the fact that the book under review sets out the author's ideas in the field of analysis and financial management, which he first voiced in the early 1990s and has been consistently developed for more than ten years. Therefore, in the monograph a number of provisions (for example, analysis of reporting in the work of a financial manager, postulates and principles of financial accounting as the basis for understanding its logic, etc.) are presented in a summary version and involve the use of other works of the author, we're talking about, first of all, about the books: “Financial accounting and analysis: conceptual foundations” (M.: Finance and Statistics, 2004); "Financial statements. Analysis financial statements(Fundamentals of Balance Science)” (M.: Prospekt, 2005); " The financial analysis: methods and procedures" (M.: Finance and Statistics, 2001). A good addition to the monograph is the author’s work “Workshop on Analysis and Financial Management. Lecture notes with tasks and tests" (M.: Finance and Statistics, 2006), which, in particular, presents tests that allow the reader to self-

for a serious student of the discipline “Financial Management”, check the level and degree of understanding of the materials reviewed.

The most important practical application of such a fundamental scientific research- educational. And here it is appropriate to note that the monograph under review was written based on the results of the author’s research, conducted jointly with colleagues in the Department of Credit Theory and Financial Management at St. Petersburg State University; she happens to be constituent element block of scientific and educational literature on problems of finance, money circulation, credit, banking.

INTRODUCTION
.
IN last years In connection with the transition to market relations, profound changes are taking place in the Russian economy. To a large extent, these changes are due to clarification and sometimes a change in priorities, incentives and factors for the development of society and the country. The political and pseudo-social background of decision-making of an economic nature, which took place in our country during the years of centralized planning and management, has been replaced by healthy pragmatism, expressed primarily in assessment economic feasibility similar decisions. In other words, what took place in the system (policy)< = >economics), the obvious bias towards the first element, implying its undeniable dominance, is gradually leveled out.

Economic restructuring is taking place, an increasing number of enterprises are becoming truly independent, financial results and economic feasibility and efficiency are increasingly becoming the main criteria for adoption management decisions in systems of any level. This determines rapid growth the importance of applied economic sciences - accounting, enterprise finance, management, marketing, etc. At the same time, a certain revaluation of values ​​in the fundamental economic sciences occurs, manifested primarily in the adoption and adaptation of key provisions of micro- and macroeconomics, neoclassical theory of finance, and the theory of modern institutionalism.
