Available online: 7 December 2010

Subject Heading: FINANCIAL RISKS

JEL Classification: 

This paper considers different interpretations of the term ‘financial risk’. The approach to understanding financial risk, the author suggests, is based on the idea of separating three standard fields in accounting and financial analysis: current, financial and investment. The author submits classification of financial leverage evaluation methods and finds out, that degree of financial leverage depends not only on the share of the debt capital, but also on such factors as degree of interest rate and schemes of credit repayment.

Keywords: financial risk, debt capital, financial leverage, credit, interest rate, repayment of credit
