- Abstract
Each phase of an enterprise's life cycle brings different impacts on corporate financial health. Financial distress may be associated with the emergence of a crisis, failure and / or bankruptcy. To identify these negative corporate phenomena timely, you need to know the appropriate symptoms. These symptoms occur in every business, but not every business can detect and evaluate them properly. The detection of symptoms of a change in corporate health depends on the definition of financial distress. The aim of the paper is to reveal an overall view of the symptoms of a financially sound business and, on the contrary, the symptoms of its deterioration by analyzing various definitions of financial distress. We analyzed, compared, and summarized the main symptoms of the company's financial health. We found that the main symptoms of a deterioration in financial health include negative cash flow, operational and / or overall losses, high indebtedness and insolvency. On the other hand, we have found that, in addition to traditional financial indicators, other symptoms of financial health, such as market share, stock value, or redundancy, should be examined.
