Bankruptcy forecasting methods used by Polish enterprises
Journal Title: Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rachunkowości - Year 2016, Vol 2016, Issue 89
Abstract
As bankruptcy presents a risk to almost every company operating in the market economy, forecasting of corporate failure should be of utmost importance for managers. Many methods that enable corporate failure prediction have been invented so far, but only a few are utilized by Polish entrepreneurs. The main objective of this article is to identify bankruptcy forecasting methods used by Polish companies and the frequency of their use. This was achieved by conducting a survey by questionnaire sent by mail to 703 joint-stock companies listed on the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange or on NewConnect. Due to a low response rate, a similar research was conducted on another group of firms. The article pre-sents and compares the findings of both studies. The general conclusion of this joint comparison is that modern methods of corporate failure prediction like univariate and multiple discriminant analysis models are not commonly utilized by Polish business practitioners and that urgent effort in educating managers in bankruptcy prediction is needed from government and academic institutions.
