The article is focused on verification of the presumption of poor financial management in companies operating in the building sector. Many authors have written about a financial situation of enterprises in the building sector, especially after the economic crisis in the year 2008, when some of them claim and their results confirm that the main reason of bankruptcy of these companies was not the economic crisis but mainly poor financial management. Our results, which were obtained especially by the method of financial analysis and further by a mathematical and statistical method, support this statement. Within the mathematical and statistical methods, there was return on equity used as an explanatory variable, mainly because all variants of the Altman Z-Score are based on the calculation of ratio indicators, which do not include this type of return. Based on the conducted tests it is possible to state that it is highly desirable for the monitored enterprises in the building industry to reach positive values of return on equity.
