Models Predicting Financial Distress and their Accuracy in the Case of Construction Industry in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Corporate financial distress and risk of bankruptcy may not lead only to a market exit of an ailing company but it can seriously influence also business related entities or counterparties. This reason raises the need to have tools which can help predict future environment and ecision making process. Models predicting corporate financial distress as well as called bankruptcy models are an example of these tools and methods. Last global economic crisis has again renewed the scientific debate about appropriate accuracy of bankruptcy models. This paper is focused on an explanatory power of models predicting financial distress created in the past. Dozens of models are tested in the case of construction industry which has been highly affected by the last crisis. The paper should answer several questions. The question 1 is if the explanatory power of bankruptcy models created in the past is sufficient for decision making process. The question 2 is which models have the highest accuracy and which should be recommended for practical use. According to results connected with previous questions we can answer if there is a need of a new predicting tool. Statistically significant data sample is used for this research. Dozens of models predicting financial distress are verified by tools as Type I Error, Type II Error, ROC Curves and related AuROC coefficients.
