Abstract

Data mining applications have been getting more attention in general business areas, but there is a need to use more of these applications in accounting areas where accounting deals with large amounts of both financial and non-financial data. The purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness of a Multiple Criteria Linear Programming (MCLP) approach to data mining for bankruptcy prediction using Japanese bankruptcy data. Our empirical results show that Ohlson's (1980) predictor variables perform better than Altman's (1968) predictor variables using 1990s Japanese financial data. Our Type I (misclassification of bankrupt as non-bankrupt firms) prediction rate using the MCLP approach, Ohlson's (1980) variables and 1990s Japanese financial data is much higher than that reported by Kwak et al. (2005) using the MCLP approach, Ohlson's (1980) variables and 1990s US data.
