| Description | The ability to predict bankruptcy is the factor, which eliminates the credit risk of a bank, so the prediction of bankruptcy and credit risk of a bank is a permanent subject matter of many scientific types of research. This paper focuses on the Czech economy, specifically at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We have chosen the SMEs sector because it plays a significant role in this economy. The aim of this article is finding if there exist different factors that could predict bankruptcy in the time at the end of the financial crisis and at the time of upturn. Our motivation is to show the most important factors which have to be taken into attention in different stages of economic development. We have investigated around 1000 companies from the segment small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), of which 100 failed during the period 2010 – 2017. |
