Rola rezerw bilansowych w kształtowaniu kondycji finansowej przedsiębiorstwa
The role of reserves in creating the financial condition of the company

Summary/Abstract: The situation that led to the bankruptcy of companies after 2007 became an impulse to search for new or improve existing tools that enable the implementation of the financial achievements of the entity at a level ensuring continuity of operations. Reserves may be one of the useful tools. The aim of the article is to determine the financial condition of groups of companies distinguished on the basis of maintenance in the years 2007–2014 of a similar share of reserves in total liabilities. For the purpose of this study, a hierarchical method was used to examine 380 companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WIG index) in the years 2007–2014. The results provide further support for the hypothesis that the selected groups of companies presented different levels of financial achievements, measured by the return on equity and market value of the companies. Therefore, recognition of reserves in total liabilities can be treated as a tool for creating the financial condition of companies.
