Abstract: This paper aims to develop a practical decision support solution to business failure prediction, as early warning signals of potential financial distress could become a true asset in the decision making process of a firm. Several prediction models, such as decision trees and neural networks are built on a sample of Romanian firms and tested for their prediction ability. In order to try to improve the prediction ability of the tree model, we propose a method based on principal component analysis. The high prediction accuracy of the models suggests that the proposed decision support solution can become a practical tool for any decision maker.
