Bankruptcy prediction models

The aim of this thesis is to describe some of the well-known, as well as several less-known, prediction models, and to verify their ability of predicting bankruptcy in the conditions of the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the thesis contains descriptions of these models, equations to calculate them and ways of results evaluation. Models by both Czech and foreign authors are presented. The practical part of the thesis verifies the ability of these models to predict bankruptcy on a sample of eight randomly selected companies which suffered serious financial problems. At the end of this thesis, the results from evaluating of these companies by prediction models are summarized
