Decision making is the process of identifying opportunities from available alternatives such as the establishment of an appropriate control of risk management framework, as well as reviewing, monitoring, and ensuring its adequacy and integrity. In many cases, financial decisions such as the purchase of equipment and other assets must be made or approved by top management. Those decisions, along with the strategy and long-term objectives in all matters of the operations, affect the long-term future and overall success of the company.

Many indices used to predict future performance are lagging. These lagging indices use previous outcomes coupled with some forward looking projections to determine if performance will remain steady, improve or become worse.

The premise, if one does not learn from the past the past will reoccur. While this can be both undesirable and desirable events, the key element is learning and adjusting to achieve desired outcomes or mitigate risks.

As the financial institutions and banks may increase the rate charged for borrowed assets when a company is in financial distress. According to the definition of the financial distress, due to the increasing of the risk, the debts value of debt holders would devalue. From the perspective that the firm value is the sum of share value and the debt value, this decrease the firm value, and made it an important part of the costs of financial distress.
