Abstract: - Bank managers are stakeholders of the data analysis for financial performance that these data are
important for them. In this regard, they consider valuable financial information and evaluate the bank's situation
and will decide according it. This paper presents a method for systematic assessing banks' financial
performance. The analysis is based on a set of criteria related to the financial performance of banks.
The purpose of this research, ranking the bank listed in Tehran Stock Exchange, according to financial criteria.
After a comprehensive review of the research literature and the idea of financial experts have been identified
criteria to assess the financial performance of banks (liquidity factors, factors, profitability, and capital adequacy
and risk asset structure factors). To increase the accuracy of the study, the weight of financial factors calculates
with AHP-FUZZY method. Finally, the final weights obtained, the ELECTRE algorithm has been implemented
to rank the banks. The results show that the KAR AFARIN bank is on top and ANSAR Bank, PASARGAD and
the EGHTESAD NOVIN were ranked second, third and fourth and the MELAT bank, SADERAT and
TEJARAT got the ratings from the eighth to the tenth.

Keywords: - Assessing, financial, performance, stock exchange, banks, Ahpfuzzy, Electre.

I. INTRODUCTION
The growth and prosperity of any country depend on the proper planning and investment and, and the
industrial and economic development also depends upon considering to the more investment into the companies
and listed banks in securities. Thus, proper guidance of cash flows and wandered funds to the manufacturing and
businesses services give rise to the economic growth, increased GDP, employment and increased per capita
income and finally, the general prosperity will follow. Undoubtedly, creation of proper environment for healthy
and productive investment and strength of the capital market are one of the most important steps that can be
taken by those involved in the economic fortunes of the country. It is clear that investment should be done in
industries that
Have more value-added
Incur more income to invest
Evaluation of the listed companies and banks in exchanges demands identification of a number of
factors, so that the decision-making process is combined with the complexity and difficulties. The decision has
been always a difficult process and in the current conditions, that change will happen very fast, undoubtedly
decision making has also a rapid pace (Qayy and Nikoomaram, 2005). Rating of accepted banks in Tehran Stock
Exchange, based on the financial criteria, has been the important issues that, unfortunately, so far little research
has been done respect with it. The aim of this research which has been conducted in Tehran Stock Exchange is
ranking of the banks according to financial criteria.

Descriptive studies often have no hypothesis, for the researcher seeks information that is not already
there and there is no theoretical basis for predicting of variables and its distribution. Since the state of variables
changes over time, so previous research cannot be used to predict them accurately. As mentioned before, in
descriptive - analytical study which was carried out with the aim of investigating the states, hypothesis has no
fundamental need and instead of making assumptions, we can conduct the research through setting the research
questions (Azkia, Darban Astaneh, 2003).

III. DEFINITION OF CONCEPTS AND TERMINOLOGIES
Assessment of performance: the assessment shows how things are not moving forward as planned and
objectives. The assessment also shows what good work is going on. Therefore, the next opportunities will be
achieved based on these conditions. This reveals the necessity of attention to performance evaluation.
Performance appraisal is the process by which the performance of employers is measured with it and when done
properly, employees, supervisors, managers, and ultimately, the organization will benefit it (Madanie
Mohammadie, 2006).

Ranking: ranking of banks is one of the most important tools to identify the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats for external companies. Ranking of companies follows some inner and outer
organizational purposes (Qdrtyan Kashan and Anvari Rostami, 2004).

Capital: capital means investment funds and from the savings which is operated or spent in the form of
machinery, buildings, tools, skills, or cash. In economy, the wealth that is used to produce more wealth is called
capital (Momenie and Najafi Moghadam, 2004).

Capital adequacy: capital adequacy is from the direct capital to the sets of assets. Therefore, firstly, since the
ratio of capital adequacy is the most important quantitative indicators to evaluate the performance of small
banks and credit institutions, and secondly, achieving to a specified minimum capital adequacy ratio is seen as
an indicator of the bank's credit position, and as different aspects of performance (such as changes in portfolio
risk, profitability, size, etc.) can affect and thus, should be given the necessary attention to it and think of some
strategies for its improvement (Rahmani and Haider, 2007).

Financial performance: the degree of involvement of a company for achieving financial goals of shareholders
for increasing their wealth. Operative goals which the director manager follows them mainly for increasing the
wealth of shareholders and includes indicators and criteria which can be used for measurement of financial
performance of a business firm (Devinney and et all, 2004).

IV. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
- Reza Zadeh (2010) evaluated the performance of the portfolio management in investment companies
listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. Data used in this research has been collected through monthly data of
investment companies published by the Stock Exchange. The population of the study consisted of 14 investment
companies in the form of 188 investee companies that their share has been studied from April 2002 to March
2003. The main variables of the study include returns, systematic risk and unsystematic risk beta and indicators
of Termyz, Jensen, Sharpe, M2, appraisal ratio for investment enterprises. Research hypotheses were tested
through using mean and median and Kendall correlation coefficient tests and findings were analyzed through
these tests. The results of the findings indicate that investment firms havent had a better performance than the
market portfolio for evaluation of the performance of investment companies considering that both systematic
and non-systematic risk are essential.
- Momenie and Najafie Moghaddam (2013), calculates approximately 170 companies in 13 different
industries for the assessment of the economic performance of listed companies in Tehran exchange and
according to the values, the weights of each index are calculated by of Shaown entropy technique and finally,
the rank of each company was determined by the technique TOPSTS.
- Wang and Lu (2008) investigated assortment technique for determining of representing financial rates
in their study. When companies evaluate their performance, using all (financial) tax rates for the investigation is
impossible. For evaluation of financial performance of a company, only some available financial rates are
investigated and selected as evaluation criteria. In general, tax rates are offered sequentially, first they are
assorted, and then the first category of each representative is selected as evaluation criteria to be used. For
classification of tax rates, a clustering method is proposed that tax rates of different companies are partitioned
with the same species in the same category. In other words, a fuzzy relation is presented so that the number of
categories can be set up. Once again, the rates are classified and the representative indicator for each cluster will
be identified. Where N the number of categories is not clear, the proposed classified method classify tax rates in

categories. Thus, in the absence of number of categories, the clustering method is not applicable. In accounting,
tax rates on the balance sheet or the income are divided into four main categories: solvency, debt and asset
turnover, return on investment. In this study, 24 tax rates are divided based on four categories.
- Kalvgras et al
1
, (2005), in their paper on evaluation of the financial performance of agricultural enterprises
- businesses with multi-criteria decision-making systems approach examined 11 financial ratios of the three
groups in terms of profitability, solvency power and performance management and for this they used
PROMETHEE for this work. This article is an introduction to financial decision-making approach which is
based on multi-criteria analysis technique PROMETHEE and reviews the financial performance of agriculture
and business companies and finally, through the assessment of the production, processing and marketing will be
greatly benefited. The result of this study increases our understanding about the financial viability of the tested
companies, and can be the first step toward making a financial decision-making tool. Thus, financial managers
can have clear signs whether the financial needs of their company strategies and market behavior may create
modifications or not?

V. METHODOLOGY
The study is a descriptive survey research. Also, since the results of this research can be practically
used, a case study research is applied. The inferential statistical tools have been used for data analysis. In
addition, in the process of study, library and field research have been exploited as an integral component of
scientific research.
The present population includes two categories:
The first set is expert and second is the listed banks in stock exchange:
First category: this category includes banking and financial experts who among these 18 experts were randomly
selected and their views on the importance and calculation of measurement and benchmarks were applied using
AHPFUZZY technique.

VI. DATA ANALYSIS
Data analysis was conducted in two parts, which it is as follows:
- AHP-FUZZY test has been used for ranking the factors and options for each of them.
- ELECTRE test has been used for the assessment of financial performance of banks and their ranking.

VII. AHP- FUZZY
technique is considered as a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making technique MADM
2
and has the advantage
that they can evaluate
different options considering to the a variety of measures which lack the same units. This is a significant
advantage over traditional methods that all criteria should be converted to the same units. The main advantage
of MADM techniques is that they have the ability to simultaneously analyze and evaluate quantitative and
qualitative criteria. AHP and TOPSIS are the most common techniques of MADM (Asgharpour, 2004).

VIII. ELECTRE METHOD

IX. DATA COLLECTION
There are several ways to gather information appropriate to the period of study, time of the study.
Sources of data collection are divided into two categories: primary and secondary sources of information. The
secondary sources of data are consisted of articles, books, research, studies and thesis done in this field (which
has been collected by libraries and Internet sites). The primary data is also collected through using
questionnaires and financial and banking statements.

XI. DISCUSSION AND COMPARISON
Inside the country, this kind of research has been conducted only by Rostamie and et al (2011). They assessed
the financial performance of banks listed on the stock exchange of Tehran using TOPSIS technique. Their
results show that the entrepreneur bank has had better financial performance than other banks, which it is
consistent with the results of the present study.

XII. CONCLUSIONS
Commercial banks are financial institutions, which accumulate stagnant funds of people and will grant
businessmen, industrialists and other facilities applicants.
In fact, bank provides the transfer of resources from those who will not invest for various reasons, such as lack
of knowledge and technique, shortage of capital and fear of investment risk or unable to cooperate in economic
activities to persons who need financial resources for investment and since the aim of commercial bank is
gaining profit, it is natural that the bank should absorb more inexpensive sources ever more and offers with the
highest interest rate to credit applicants.
Therefore, the basic and fundamental objective similar to other nonprofit organizations is to maximize
the wealth of its owners. For the increasing wealth of the shareholders, bank Management must decide whether
the bank should gain assets with lower quality and more income or assets to higher quality and less risk, or
whether the bank should. Ranking of banks can mirror entirely the state of different banks relative to other
competitors and identify strengths and weaknesses and the opportunities and internal threats to the banks, but an
issue that is important is ratings model, criteria and appropriate mathematical techniques for ranking. What this
study is to evaluate and rank its financial performance which has been accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. The
results show that banks of Ansar, Entrepreneur, Pasargard and modern economy ranked first, second and fourth,
respectively, and Mellat, Saderat and Tejarat were acquired from the eighth to tenth, respectively.
