The purpose of this study is evaluating the capability of Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) and with Ant Colony Algorithm (ACO) in predicting financial distress using Intra-corporate factors by creating a hybrid model with Multi-layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network (MLP).The statistical population of this research includes all listed active companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period 2012 to 2018 in which 289 eligible companies including 2023 year-firm observations (381 cases distressed and 1642 cases non-distressed) were screened.The results showed that the basic model (MLP) was able to predict financial distress using financial and non-financial variables and Also GOA and ACO algorithms have improved the accuracy of the basic model.While the highest accuracy was for the hybrid MLP-GOA model. Also, the Analysis of the frequency of financial distress based on some firm variables showed that the probability of financial distress in line with similar researches is affected by characteristics such as size, age and life cycle, and the effectiveness of efficiency and competitiveness was different from similar researches. The results of this research can be used by managers of companies, banks, credit, insurance and rating agencies and actual and potential investors as well as investment companies in recognition of financial distress and risk assessment (based on continuity assumption).
