Unparalleled financial scoring and analysis capabilities

Do you need to perform detailed analysis of a firm's financials? Don't just eyeball financial statements or review basic ratios with little relative perspective. Firms from different industries and different sizes have different metrics to be measured against in order to make an objective decision.

Corporate Credit Manager automatically computes the financial ratios and compares them to their peers within the same financial year by industry (SIC) and size (assets or sales).

Financial scoring of 18 default ratios compare by Liquidity, Profitablity, Leverage, and Audit Quality. You can also create your own ratios to score.

The ratios are compared to other peer firms. You can choose the peer group such as RMA (aka Robert Morris Associates or Risk Management Associates), your own peer group from your database, or any other. Unlike some agency norms which under represent weaker firms, the RMA database is compiled by financial institution borrowers and prospects of strong, average, and weak customers. In this way, you can truly see the relative strength of a firm compared to its peers rather than just a generic measure or under represented comparison. For instance, you can look at small firms in an industry to other small firms in the same industry with confidence.

Bankruptcy prediction scores are also computed using the Altman Z Wholesale and Retail models. Altman Z is the gold standard for bankruptcy prediction within the next 24 month period. Z-Scores forecast distress using discriminate analysis. This score can be computed if you have a financial statement. The score can be used both for public and private firms. The wholesale/retail model (also called Non-Manufacturers and Emerging Markets model) is a slight modification of the original model to minimize the potential industry effect likely to take place when an industry-sensitive variable such as asset turnover is included.

Lastly, you have the flexibility to have unlimited financial statement formats as well as include footnotes to the financial statements.
