There are literature review structures that previously made research into company performance prediction. Estimating the risk of bankruptcy of Latvian companies has been carried out by applying two commonly used approaches: Altman’s Z-score estimation and an experience-based machine learning approach using C4.5 Decision Tree.

We propose an extended company performance prediction model that considers other factors that influence distress risk, e.g., changes in regulation and other environmental factors. Expert opinion is of great value in estimating a company’s future performance; therefore, an automated solution supporting experts in their decision-making is presented.https://csimq-journals.rtu.lv/article/view/4875insolvencybankruptcypredictionaltman’s z-scoremachine learning |
