Abstract

This paper approaches an important topic in the field of insolvency, a present field, considering that bankruptcy threatens the development in good conditions of the activity of companies. Our approach concerns the analysis of the insolvency of Romanian trading companies in the context of the economic-financial crisis. Considering the current economic crisis, the problem of insolvency is very present. From an economic and financial perspective, insolvency is a reality of entrepreneurship, with a negative impact: it is conditioned and triggers inopportune and inappropriate management of the patrimony of economic units. Our aim is to perform a comparative analysis in time and space of the evaluation of the insolvency of trading companies, in order to grasp the common and specific elements in defining and presenting insolvency. In the practical part of the paper, for processing the data collected from the financial statements, we will use the SPSS software - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The database includes 30 insolvent companies in Romania, analyzed over a 5-year period. For a rigorous structure of the database, we will select the companies that perform their activity in several activity branches. The results of the research show the crisis that affects the analyzed Romanian companies.
