Microsoft Excel Program was used to calculate the fourfinancial ratios, place them in the model and find the Z’’-Score values. Paintmap application wasused to create the risk map for the Turkish metropolitan municipalities based on the results.Findings – The results showed that four of the metropolitan municipalities gradually moved to thered zone based on the 2012-2017 data. However, only two of these municipalities were placed in thered zone based on the mean. Similarly, ten of the municipalities moved to the grey zone over time,but only one of these municipalities were in the grey zone with respect to the mean whereas all theother metropolitan municipalities were in the safe zone.Discussion – The results of the current study show that the fiscal performance of the metropolitanmunicipalities in Turkey seems to be better than expected.
