Predicting company performance
This content delves into the prediction of company performance through the MPAI approach to standardisation, focusing on AI modules, governance assessment, financial features, default probabilities, business continuity, and risk assessment. The MPAI-CUI workflow details the inputs, processing, and outputs involved in predicting default probabilities and business continuity probabilities based on organizational model index and perturbations. An AI-based standard prediction using neural networks is also discussed with back-testing results on a sample of 160,000 companies.

What does performance mean? Default probability: the probability the company will default (e.g., crisis, bankruptcy) in a specified number of future months dependent on financial features Organisational Model Index: the adequacy of the organisational model (e.g., board of directors, shareholders, familiarity, conflicts of interest) Business continuity Index: the probability of an interruption of the operations of the company for a period of time less than 2% of the prediction horizon. 4 26-Feb-25

MPAI-CUI An AI-based standard Prediction AIM is a neural network. Back testing on a sample of 160.000 companies both active and bankrupted Prediction Accuracy: 85% vs 37% of traditional techniques Reviewed by the scientific community See further details in G. Perboli and E. Arabnezhad. A Machine Learning- based DSS for mid and long-term company crisis prediction. Expert Systems with Applications, 174, 114758, 2021 6 26-Feb-25
AI-based standard Novelties of MPAI-CUI Extracts the most relevant data with controlled information analysing the large amount of data required by regulation. loss by Extends prediction horizon up to 60 months, using AI. 7 26-Feb-25
How is MPAI-CUI going to be used? PUBLIC AUTHORITIES BANKS/FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS COMPANY BOARDS + Develop efficient strategies. + Assess public policies in advance + Assess the financial health of companies + Identify clues to crisis or bankruptcy years in advance. + Evaluate scenarios of public interventions + Aids the financial institution to make the right decision in: funding or not funding that company, having a broad vision of its situation. + Identify proactive actions to increase resiliency of industrial sectors. + Help to: Decide path to recovery, Conduct what-if analysis, Devise efficient strategies. 8 26-Feb-25
A real example: Evaluate the effects of a public policy Evaluate the impact of funds made available to SMEs in the Piedmont region by analysing the probability of default before and after public intervention. The study confirmed the effectiveness of the public intervention put in place by showing that public intervention improved the default probability. See further details in G. Perboli et al.
