Origin of study Today, credit activities are one of the main activities of enterprises to meet the demand for loans. When performing credit activities, commercial banks will act as a bridge between those who have excess capital and those who need capital.
Therefore, commercial banks both play the role of receiving deposits and acting as lenders and benefit from the difference, contributing to the benefits of the parties involved. Credit rating has since become an important method for commercial banks when dealing with credit. Beginning from the limited risks in the method of scoring credit ratings of commercial banks today, the author has learned about a credit rating scoring model being used in the world. Altman Z - score model (referred to as Z - score model) is one of many models invented in the world and has been used in practice in many countries.
The Z-score model used to assess the bankruptcy risk of enterprises was developed in 1968 by American professor Edward I. Stern School of Business, New York University. Although the Z-score model was found in the US, most countries can still use it with high confidence, including Vietnam. In Vietnam, credit rating still has many limitations and inadequacies in the credit rating process of enterprises.
Credit rating methods and models that are in line with international standards have not been universally implemented. At commercial banks, the customer credit scoring method is still heavily formal, not reflecting the actual situation that businesses are facing. In addition, commercial banks mainly rely on internal credit ratings based on the requirements of the State Bank. Therefore, the credit rating system of banks is often misleading, still does not accurately reflect the risks of enterprises, is lengthy, and especially the status of some businesses that are 3 about to go bankrupt is still rated safe.
Credit risk is the action that borrowers are not able to repay the bank's debt when due date, this directly affects the development process of the bank and can also determine the survival of the bank at or bankrupt of the Bank. Therefore, if in the process of credit rating the bank still has a rating based on form, the credit risk will lead the bank to make regular provisioning capital and limit the cash flow used with other business purposes of the bank. Therefore, commercial banks need to pay more attention and improve more models and methods of credit rating to minimize credit risks from borrowers and provide capital provisions in case of bankruptcy borrowers. Through the process of learning about the model, the author found that the current credit rating model at commercial banks is not suitable for the actual economic and financial situation of enterprises listed on the exchange.
securities, but the Z-score model is being used by many countries, especially developed countries. This proves that the Z-score model is a very beneficial method in the credit rating process of banks. From the above reasons, the author chooses the topic: "Application of Z-Score model in the credit rating of 100 enterprises listed on HOSE".2 Objective of study 1. Goal of study The project is implemented to propose the application of the Z-Score model in credit rating of 100 enterprises listed on HOSE stock exchange.

Overview of credit rating 1. Definition of credit rating World of conception: Before the 19th century, businesses were close to each other, knew each other's financial ability, so it was easy to extend credit to partners. However, when the gap increases, this becomes difficult, investors are afraid to extend credit because they are worried about the risk of their counterparty not being able to repay the debt. That created the first basis for the birth of the credit rating industry.
The Mercantile Agency, the ancestor of today's credit rating agencies, was established after the financial crisis of 1837. This organization ranks merchants' ability to repay loans and then publishes them. According to John Moody's research in 1909, credit ratings are opinions about credit quality and debt solvency for creditors based on research results expressed through the notation system Aaa to C. The new word “credit rating” was first issued by financial analyst John Moody in his “Railway Securities Handbook” when he researched, analyzed, and published ratings.
The first credit for 1500 bonds of 250 companies under a system of symbols consisting of 3 letters A, B, and C ranked from AAA to C respectively. These ratings do not have a profound effect on the market for in 1936, a new law was passed: Banning banks from investing in speculative bonds, or bonds with low credit ratings, to avoid the risk of default that could lead to financial loss. The act was quickly enforced by companies and financial institutions. As a result, relying on credit ratings has become the standard.
According to research in 1860 by Standard & Poor's group - a credit rating agency in the US. Credit ratings are opinions about the risk, solvency of financial 6 obligations fully and on time of an issuer such as a business, government, or people's committee. In addition, credit rating also refers to the credit quality of an individual debt such as a corporate or local government bond and the relative probability that the issue may default. According to a study by Nomura Research Institute - Japan's prestigious General Research Institute, credit rating is the current assessment of a company's availability and ability to pay principal or interest on debt securities.
issued during the life of the security. For Fitch Corporation(1924) - one of the three prestigious credit institutions in the US in the world , credit ratings are assessments of an object's ability to meet financial commitments such as interest rates, shares, and interest rates, incentives, principal repayments, insurance claims, or partnership obligations. Credit ratings related to securities and issuer obligations may include recovery expectations. Credit ratings are used by investors as an indication of their ability to repay the money they have invested in.
Vietnam's conception: The word "Credit rating" is translated into many different meanings. In this study, the authors use the term "'credit rating'". In terms of definition, each financial institution defines credit rating differently, but the core content includes an evaluation of the credit quality or repayment ability of the issuer or debt instrument. Issuers include Enterprises, special purpose companies, governments, local authorities, non-profit organizations, sovereign states.
Credit-rated debt instruments include Government bonds, corporate bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs), local government bonds, preferred shares, mortgage- backed securities, Collateralized Debt Obligations. 7 The ranking is made based on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative factors related to the borrower's business activities, borrowing history, and debt repayment. Thus, in this research topic: “Credit rating is understood as an assessment of credit quality, showing the willingness to pay financial obligations (principal and interest) of an entity.
