Abstract

This research aims to assess financial distress prediction of Islamic and conventional banks by analyzing Bankometer score between Islamic and conventional banks. This research compared the bankometer scores of four Islamic banks and 10 conventional banks observed for the year period of 2011-2014. The data were obtained from annual reports of the sampled banks from 2011to 2014. The results of this research show that both Islamic and conventional banks had a fine level of resilience against financial distress. This finding suggests that there was no difference of financial distress prediction between Islamic banks and conventional banks. This result also confirms finding Gamaginta & Rokhim (undated), Hanif et al., (2012) and Abdul Rahman & Masngut (2014). On the other hand, contradicts to that of Pappas et al., (2012) who concluded that Islamic banks are 55% less hazardous to failure than conventional banks.
