One of the enterprises’ biggest fears is a potential bankruptcy situation. This is the reason there are a lot of people who try to anticipate it. To be aware of the actual and expected future situation of a company is in the interest of all those who are related. This topic has come to the fore after the economic and financial crisis of 2008. Companies, their creditors and internal stakeholders should be aware of the liquidity and solvency situation of a given company, because its deterioration can cause serious problems for all of them. During the financial analysis of companies, the problem of liquidity indicators showing bad signals can often be experienced, although there is no visible sign of difficulty in their operation. In other cases, the situation is just the opposite, i.e. liquidity ratios are adequate, but still, the business faces payment issues. How could it happen? The purpose of this study is to present indicators which can measure more accurately and reliably the actual liquidity position of a company.

Furthermore, the Kida model has been adopted in assessing the stability of banks and their ability to meet their obligations and perform their duties through a set of financial ratios that distinguish successful banks from those whose ability is suspect and vulnerable to financial failure, as well as trying to identify the nature of their activities at an early stage. However, using financial ratios, Kida's model was applied to a sample of three Iraqi banks, and the research concluded that the external auditor should use financial analysis models to know and evaluate the banks' continuity in terms of anticipating financial collapse.

This chapter deals with the issue of valuation of business entities. Based on literary research, which forms the basis of the chapter, two practical examples are given. The aim of the first example is to evaluate the financial situation of the concrete company for the period of 2007-2019 using valuation tools (financial analysis, creditworthiness and bankruptcy models, EVA). The purpose is to capture the course of an expansion disrupted by the great financial crisis that erupted in 2008 and to monitor the gradual return of corporate activities. The results of the analysis show that the financial crisis initially had a significant impact on the company but was nevertheless averted. The aim of the second example is, with the help of neural networks, to determine the relationship between the value generators of a company and EVA equity of small and medium-sized enterprises operating in rural areas of the Czech Republic in the period of 2013-2017. It is found that successful companies are distinguished from unsuccessful ones by the degree of human capital involvement.

Abstract Background Hospitalisations for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSC) cause harm to users and to health systems, as these events are potentially avoidable. In 2009, Portugal was hit by an economic and financial crisis and in 2011 it resorted to foreign assistance (“Memorandum of Understanding” (2011–2014)). The aim of this study was to analyse the association between the Troika intervention and hospitalisations for ACSC. Methods We analysed inpatient data of all public NHS hospitals of mainland Portugal from 2007 to 2016, and identified hospitalisations for ACSC (pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hearth failure, hypertensive heart disease, urinary tract infections, diabetes), according to the AHRQ methodology. Rates of hospitalisations for ACSC, the rate of enrollment in the employment center and average monthly earnings were compared among the pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis periods to see if there were differences. A Spearman’s correlation between socioeconomic variables and hospitalisations was performed. Results Among 8,160,762 admissions, 892,759 (10.94%) were classified as ACSC hospitalizations, for which 40% corresponded to pneumonia. The rates of total hospitalisations and hospitalisations for ACSC increased between 2007 and 2016, with the central and northern regions of the country presenting the highest rates. No correlations between socioeconomic variables and hospitalisation rates were found. Conclusions During the period of economic and financial crisis based on Troika’s intervention, there was an increase in potentially preventable hospitalisations in Portugal, with disparities between the municipalities. The high use of resources from ACSC hospitalisations and the consequences of the measures taken during the crisis are factors that health management must take into account.
