Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this article is to present the results of the empirical studies on the financial protection afforded by balance sheet provisions of the new companies on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The research is devoted to answer the following research question: do the newly listed companies experience an increase in the level of financial protection with balance sheet provisions after the introduction of their shares to public trading for the first time in comparison to the situation before the IPO? This analysis has been supplemented by the assessment of the financial situation of the surveyed enterprises in the area of profitability, liquidity and debt. The empirical studies have been carried out on a sample of 204 companies whose shares were introduced to public trading on the main market of the WSE for the first time between 2005 and 2012.
