Abstract:
This study explores financial credit risk assessment. This is an important issue because there is currently no standardized method used by financial institutions for the assessment of credit risk. A critical evaluation of the most popular
credit risk assessment methods – the judgemental method and credit-scoring – highlights a number of limitations when
used on their own. Some financial institutions may choose to implement neural the method with least disadvantages,
accepting the risk that the assumptions may not correspond to reality, but opting for better performance of the model.
Under these circumstances, the implementation of some measures of performance seems imperative.
