Abstract: Stability is essential for any firm because it signifies the robustness in financial structure. Financial stability of a firm cannot be assessed only by approaching the financial statements. Instead, incorporating risk management capabilities with financial statements can provide a clear picture of financial stability. While there are many studies in the literature exploring specified firm (banks, insurance, etc.) stability measuring conception of risk, only a few of them have examined the financial institutions as a whole. In addition, fewer studies have been found where firm stability has been measured by the relationship between firm's conception of risk and the accounting variables. In light of this need, the current study measures the impact of accounting variables and country level indicators on firm stability in 1,331 European firms covering the period 2010-2020. A negative relationship between the risk factors and the variables has been found, indicating firm stability.
