A financial diagnosis starts with determining and interpreting a set of economic financial indicators, which are calculated based on the financial balance sheet. In practice, financial analysts and managers often encounter diagnostic tasks that incorporate much financial data.
The objective of this book is to characterize financial diagnosis in order to indicate guidelines for automation of financial diagnosis. We will start with a general, domain independent, description of the problem of diagnosis. Further, we will compare the problem of financial diagnosis with diagnostic problems from the medical and physical domains. We will not give a complete survey of diagnostic research performed in these domains, but look instead at domain specific features that constitute points of comparison with financial diagnosis.
