Modelling Bank's Risk and Performance Oriented Financial Strength Using Accounting Information

Bank's financial strength become a major concept on banking literature during the past few years and CAMELS is a common approach to measure it. Financial strength not only helps banks to meet legal obligations but also increases their stability in banking crises. We improve a developed model using CAMELS approach and combine it with Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) with Simulated Weights to release its limitation and measure financial strength of 24 Iranian banks. As a result this paper prepares a proposed method to monitor and increase bank's financial strength.
