Abstract :

This research has been done under title: Bankruptcy Prediction using Artificsl Neural Networks withcamparsion to the Altman Model.The goal of this study is to provide exact explanation and presentation of theoretical basis of research andmeasurement of usefulness bankruptcy financial models. We presented the research hypotheses in order toprovide suitable scientific context for the study.Hypothese 1: Artificsl Neural Networks and Altman models are suitable instrumental for prediction ofbankruptcy.Hypothese 2: In prediction of bankruptcy one firm, have significant difference the resultsof this two models.The means of the research statements (Balance sheets, Income statement, cash flow statement) of thecompanies which were accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. The library method was employed in datagathering. Statistical population of research includes active companies whose financial statements areaccessable in Tehran Stock Exchange. The statistical sample of the research includes active companies inproductive industries, from 1379 to 1384.In order to analysis data, We used statistical metods of nonparametric binomial, and for cointegrationsignificant difference two models employed wilcoxon signed- rank test and sign test for hypothese 2. Afteranalyzing the data the results gained id confirmed and supported by above tests
