This book was released on 2016 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study sought test the validity of the Atlman Z Score (bankruptcy prediction) and the Beneish M score (earnings manipulation) as investment models that can be adopted in entity financial statements analysis by stakeholders. The study utilised financial statements obtained from entity Z's website from the periods 2011 to 2014. The results reveal entity as in the “grey zone” using the Altman Z Score model in 2011 whilst 2012 to 2014 discovers financial distress. The Beneish m score reveals entity Z an earnings manipulator for 2010 and 2014 with m scores of -2.11 and -0.10. Days Receivables in Sales (DSRI) for 2010 of 1.53 is superior to the manipulators mean of 1.465, with gross margin index (GMI) in 2013 of 1.51 and 4.83 in 2014 which are greater than manipulators mean of 1.193.The results thus validate the use of Altman z score in predicting bankruptcy and Beneish m score in detecting earnings manipulation when compared with secondary data relating to the entity.

This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bankruptcy prediction model Z-ScoreM for Italian Manufacturing Listed Companies and Z'-ScoreM for Italian Industrial Company. The work stems from the study of the probability of default started in 2007 and continues today. In particular, this analysis is taken up with the study of the Rating and the credit and liquidity risk carried out during the author's research doctorate. The study is the continuation of other recently published author's e-books. The main objective is to identify a model for Italian companies based on Altman's Z-Score variables. Several researchers have analyzed the probability of failure of large companies, listed or emerging markets, other authors have tried to create a dashboard useful for the analysis of key indicators to be monitored, but this research differs for the creation of a specific indicator for the Italian Industrial Companies based on Altman variables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is firstly to review the literature on the efficacy and importance of the Altman Z-Score bankruptcy prediction model globally and its applications in finance and related areas. This review is based on an analysis of 33 scientific papers published from the year 2000 in leading financial and accounting journals. Secondly, we use a large international sample of firms to assess the classification performance of the model in bankruptcy and distressed firm prediction. In all, we analyze its performance on firms from 31 European and three non-European countries. This kind of comprehensive international analysis has not been presented thus far. Except for the U.S. and China, the firms in the sample are primarily private and cover non-financial companies across all industrial sectors. Thus, the version of the Z-Score model developed by Altman (1983) for private manufacturing and non-manufacturing firms (Z"-Score Model) is used in our testing. The literature review shows that results for Z-Score Models have been somewhat uneven in that in some studies the model has performed very well, whereas in others it has been outperformed by competing models. None of the reviewed studies is based on a comprehensive international comparison, which makes the results difficult to generalize. The analysis in this study shows that while a general international model works reasonably well, for most countries, with prediction accuracy levels (AUC) of about 75%, and exceptionally well for some (above 90%), the classification accuracy may be considerably improved with country-specific estimation especially with the use of additional variables. In some country models, the information provided by additional variables helps boost the classification accuracy to a higher level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2013 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: summa cum laude, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: The contribution of this study is manifold and relevant for academics and practitioners alike. It adds to the literature in the fields of corporate finance, financial accounting and stochastic modeling. In particular, this dissertation provides answers to the following questions: given the less efficient markets, can specialists as financial analysts provide additional information, which contain investment value? How can the true value of a company be determined with publicly available data and can discrepancies between fundamental and market values be exploited? Finally, is it possible to assess the firm’s financial health and its likelihood of failure several years into the future? Adressing these questions, the study first illustrates the company valuation assessment by financial analysts as summarized in their target prices and the information processing by analysts and investors in detail. Second, this thesis offers a novel empirical implementation of a model for fundamental company valuation that employs accounting data. In this context it demonstrates severe over- and undervaluation from a fundamental perspective in the U.S. technology sector over the last 20 years. Both the analysts’ company valuation captured by their target prices and the implementation of the fundamental company valuation model translate into significant investment value before and after transaction costs, which supports the notion of non-efficient markets. Finally, one major contribution is to evaluate a new approach for bankruptcy prediction that is based on stochastic processes. It is theoretically appealing and performs better especially for longer forecast horizons than standard methods.

Book excerpt: The Altman Z Score (AZS) does not predict bankruptcy. The false positive rate of the AZS is 98%-99%. The AZS fails as a predictive model because it does not incorporate market evidence bearing on bankruptcy probability, specifically, returns, debt to an approximation of market value of assets, and stock price. In a probit model, AZS is statistically insignificant in the presence of these market variables.

Book excerpt: Although businesses may have varying purposes, the main objective is the same for all of them and it is simply avoiding bankruptcy. Since a company's bankruptcy is critical for not only its stakeholders but also for the oth- er parties such as its suppliers and creditors, the ability to diagnose the problems of a company in advance is a very valuable asset. The models that provide the ability to predict bankruptcy are important from the national economy perspective as well, since the employment of them is a precondition for guaranteeing the soundness and stability of the banking system and paving the way for incentive compatible, risk sensitive behaviour of debtors.

Book excerpt: This study is motivated by the continuing popularity of the Altman Z-score as a measure of distress risk. Altman first introduced the 'Z' score in 1968 and 50 years later it is still going strong as a means to predicting bankruptcy. During these 50 years, academicians have studied the usefulness of the Z-score in a variety of countries and scenarios including various financial crises. This study contributes to the literature by providing a hitherto unexplored perspective through the examination of the relationship between stock market returns and the probability of bankruptcy due to an unexpected sudden shock. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center in New York led to a financial crisis. Following the attack, the US stock market dropped dramatically. We find evidence that firms which had higher bankruptcy risk experienced greater negative returns following the attack. This study suggests that the Altman Z-score is likely to be useful in identifying firms with a higher risk of financial failure and consequent larger negative stock returns in the event of an exogenous sudden shock. This should prove to be useful to investors, creditors, board members and managers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to present corporate default prediction models constructed in the specific market conditions that prevail in the Republic of Serbia, and to compare their prediction accuracy with the most frequently used model - Altman's Z-score. Many authors have constructed models for the purpose of bankruptcy prediction, but predominantly in stable market conditions or in times of economic growth. We have presented three models that use standard ratios and some specific variables in order to predict corporate bankruptcy in emerging and distressed markets. For that purpose, we have used the following statistical and machine learning methods on a training sample (130 companies): Logistic Regression, Decision Trees and Artificial Neural Networks. Finally, we have compared accuracies of predictions of our models to those of the Altman's Z-score models using an independent hold-out sample (102 companies). Results show that, out of the aforementioned three models, only the one relying on the artificial neural network algorithm performs better when applied on the hold-out sample, compared to Altman's Z-score models.
