| Summary: | The study on the classification of firms' financial distress was made popular by Altman (1968) . Up until today , banks use Altman's ratio to rate credit credibility of potential borrowers . Since then many works replicate , improvise or use different statistical and non-statistical methods to improve the classification rate of financial distress. Most of these works dealt with information gathered from large companies as information on small companies are limited and not easily available. The aim of this research is to fill in the gap and extends the work done in Abd Razak and Wan Asma' (2012) by looking at the predictive ability of information gathered from Malaysian small firms . |
