The occurrence of Finobacci numbers in time series of financial accounting ratios: Anomalies or indicators of firm survival, bankruptcy and fraud? An exploratory study Available to Purchase

Conducts an exploratory analysis of the probability distribution of the ratio total debt/total invest capital, to determine if the occurrence of the Finobacci golden mean and ratio, as possible values of this ratio, are random or indicative of firm survival. Uses highly technical mathematical and algebraic explanatory means to emphasize points. Adopts the use of figures and tables to aid explanation. Concludes that, although some progress has been made, more sophisticated analysis is required.
