Many types of methods for predicting corporate bankruptcy have been formulated by business theory and practice. Among them, an extensive group is composed of classification methods, which can divide companies into two groups: bankrupt and financially sound companies. The aim of the paper is to present the outcomes of the comparative analysis of classification accuracy for selected kinds of corporate bankruptcy prediction methods. While building the models, both the financial ratios of companies and the variables which reflect changes in the economic environment were taken into account. The analysis is based on data concerning companies operating in the industrial processing sector in Poland. The following four types of bankruptcy prediction methods were employed: linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression, classification tree and neural network. In order to assess the classification accuracy of a model for a training set and test set, three measures were used: sensitivity, specificity and overall accuracy. The results of the conducted empirical studies confirm the hypothesis that changes in the economic environment of companies affect their financial situation and risk of bankruptcy. The indicators of economic growth, the labour market, inflation and the economic situation were useful in bankruptcy prediction of companies operating in the industrial processing sector in Poland.(original abstract)
