The study reveals the relevance of the problem of improving the methodological and applied support for the analysis and implementation of the state policy of strengthening the financial and economic security of the entrepreneurial sector of the national economy. The purpose of the article is to improve the methodological principles of analyzing the financial and economic security of the entrepreneurial sector of the national economy. A description of some of the existing methodological approaches to the analysis of financial and economic security at the level of a sector (branch) of the economy is provided.

In order to form a higher-quality informational and methodological basis of the state policy of strengthening the financial and economic security of the entrepreneurial sector of the national economy, changes to the composition and volume of statistical information have been initiated in order to enable the calculation of the following indicators: the share of overdue receivables and payables of business entities, including types of economic activity; average conditional actual indicator of liquidity of entities of the business sector; the average conditional actual indicator of the financial stability of entrepreneurship. The applied value of the research results is that the directions and means of the state policy of strengthening the financial and economic security of the entrepreneurial sector of the economy have been determined. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the further development of the method of analyzing financial and economic security, which, in contrast to its application at the microeconomic level, is proposed and substantiated to be carried out at the meso-level management of the national economy
