The tendency of these regulations to be ambiguous necessitates that industry professionals and institutions interpret them independently and jointly.

Non-practitioners in the industry may view the modeling department as a “black box” for these reasons. The accurate evaluation of financial credit risk and the forecasting of bankruptcy are crucial to both the economy and society. In recent years, more and more approaches and algorithms have been advanced for this purpose. At this point, it is of the highest concern to investigate the current credit risk assessment methods. In this paper, we review the traditional statistical models and cutting-edge intelligent methods for forecasting financial distress, with a focus on the greatest advances in the academic literature, as the promising trend in this field.
