Non-financial Factors in Prediction of Financial Distress

Financial distress management may lead to a successful turnaround of a firm if there would be timely detection of the symptoms of decline well in advance. On the other hand, some turnarounds do not succeed despite of early detection.

❗Are non-financial factors perhaps more important in such an analysis?
