I should add that in these conditions become more urgent question of a comprehensive evaluation, which includes the development and use of balanced scorecards.

BASIC CONTENTS

In the first section of the master's thesis analyzed the features of modern investment processes in Ukraine, the theoretical and methodological framework for the assessment of investment risks and their causes.

Assessment of investment risk should be at each stage of investment. The attractiveness of Ukraine for investors is low. This is due to the situation inside the country, namely the instability of the tax regime, the fall of the national currency, the low purchasing power of the majority of the population. Consider buying power in Ukraine and the national currency rate changes.

The purpose of the second section is the development of master's work provisions and principles of assessment of investment risk. Under section revealed issues related to the analysis methods to assess and manage investment risk.

To evaluate the investment risks using various methods by which we can determine and predict the risk of it, namely, statistical, and the method of expert estimates, the method of adjustment, the method of adjusting the discount rate, the discounted certainty equivalent, the method of state benefits, decision-making methods without the use of numerical values probabilities. The purpose of this process is to establish the size of the change in the analyzed factors characterizing the gains or losses and the probability of its occurrence.

In the management of investment risk using three methods: the method of insurance, a method of risk reduction and risk elimination method. The use of each method involves the application of measures to influence the level of investment risk. The study showed that these measures can be classified by three criteria: content (organizational and economic methods), the activity level of action (active intervention measures and measures of passive intervention) by stages of the investment project (activities, which are used in the preparation stage of the investment project to implementation of the measures used in the implementation phase of the investment project).

The third section will develop recommendations to reduce the investment risks in the enterprise. Under section will examine issues related to the reduction of investment risks, improvement of methods of reduction.

CONCLUSION

For Ukraine, the issue of evaluation, accountability and reduce the investment risk is important, due to the economic, political and social situation.

Analyzed the purchasing power of Ukraine, whose performance has not changed over the past two years, and have the last place, as well as the purchasing power index of below average at 10,511.

In the process, identified the ways and methods of evaluating investment risks, identified limitations in their application and proposed a comprehensive scheme by which must be carried out assessment of investment risks, which makes it possible to make informed decisions regarding the advisability of investing projects. It also highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of each method with the help of examples have been considered virtually methods of evaluating investment risks.
