The methodology of the research, the results being presented in the paper, is based on the concept of the financial ratio analysis, the concept of the company cash flows, and the concept of the Balanced Scorecard (in terms of its financial score). It is depicted that the procedure of the target financial forecasting comprises an appropriate information-accounting support, a target financial forecasting of the company financial position, a target forecasting of the company’s cash flows, a development of the specific events (managements’ decisions) aimed at overcoming the company’s financial difficulties and enhancing its financial position.
