dc.description.abstractPurpose – The aim of the current study is to assess the financial distress risk of the metropolitanmunicipalities in Turkey from 2012 to 2017 using Altman’s Z’’-Score, an accounting-based financialdistress prediction model.Design/methodology/approach – Altman Z’’-Score model was applied to the data from 2012 to 2017for 30 metropolitan municipalities in Turkey. 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. The effects of accounting errors in AuditCourt Reports on statements and analysis of statements, which can be quite misleading, may beinvestigated in future research.en_US
