The proposed algorithms include two stages. At the first stage, the analytical processing of the consolidated financial reporting is carried out. It consists of checking reporting for possible distortions. This procedure gives grounds for the transition to the second stage of the algorithm implementation. The second stage involves the calculation of the main indicators of the company depending on the interests of particular group users. It is proposed to calculate acriteria for the potential of a group of companies (financial stability, profitability and solvency) in the analysis of consolidated financial reporting from the position of shareholders and investors, the calculation of the integral indicator for 21 particular indicators is in the analysis of reporting from the position of competitors. The proposed algorithms are tested on the example of the consolidated financial reporting of a group of companies operating in industries such as ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy.
