Construction is a leading industry sector of the Russian national economy, which is essential for the expansion of fixed assets, the structural restructuring of the economy, and the development of human well-being. The main feature of the construction industry is the variety of organizational and economic forms of the construction production process, a large number of participants with various functional goals and objectives, and the significant dependence of the construction production process on natural conditions. The economic potential, possessed by construction enterprises, should be used effectively. This is the main task of management. At the same time, the use of economic potential is fraught with risks. Their identification is included in the scope of economic analysis. To assess the risks in the use of economic potential, it is subdivided into resource, production and financial. Each of them has its own system of indicators. As a risk assessment method, a statistical one based on the calculation of the coefficient of variation was chosen. The values of the coefficients of variation help to determine the risk zone: allowed, critical or catastrophic. The identification of risk zones is the purpose of this article. Obtaining information on the risk category contributes making management decisions.

Enterprises are an important component of the economic development of the state as they provide not only employment, but also the GDP of the country. In the recent years, the economic situation has become more complicated, which determines the negative social and economic results of the development of enterprises in the real sector of the economy. This has caused numerous studies in the field of economic security of enterprises. However, most of the researchers have not yet come to a unanimous agreement on these issues, including the conceptual apparatus and the content of the economic security of the enterprise. The issues related to threats to economic security receive more attention, unlike risk management. The authors emphasize that the risks of economic processes should become a prerequisite for economic security. Identification of risks and their further neutralization can lead enterprises on the way of safe development. Yet proper risk management requires appropriate information support. The authors have allocated four key components of information support for an enterprise: accountancy, analysis, control, and audit. Each of them is described providing the input, intermediate, and output information that corresponds to the system approach of researching the economic phenomena. It has allowed characterizing risks of economic safety of an enterprise in the context of components for information support. The results show the relationship between the risks of economic security and threats to an enterprise. The authors specify directions of the further researches within the limits of considered questions.
