Despite their different purposes (the risk assessment of bankruptcy, the creditworthiness or the investment attractiveness of the enterprise, the financial status of the beneficiary of the investment project or enterprise subject to privatization), they are based on the assessment of the solvency of the enterprises as an indicator of its financial capacity. The main methodological problems of construction of the scorecard are formulated as one of the most important elements of the methodology of analysis, which has a significant impact on the reliable and objective assessment of the solvency of the company in accordance with the set goal. The comparative analysis of the indicators of solvency of enterprises, which are given in typical methodological approaches, is carried out in the article. It is established that the list, names and calculation formulas of the relative indicators differ significantly, and between their recommended values there are some inconsistencies, which make significant influences on the formulation of analytical conclusions and proposals for management decisions.
