An internal rating system is made of “the articulated whole of organizational methods and processes which allow to reach the classification on an ordinal scale as to the creditworthiness of a subject and which, therefore make the distribution of all credit borrowers in different risk classes, to which different probabilities of insolvencies correspond” (De Laurentis, 2001). In other words, credit rating is an instrument able to estimate the probability of insolvency of a company, expressed in terms of probability on a specific temporal horizon. These models are not based on abstract hypotheses but are generated by databases which accumulated years of measurements regarding default events which occurred in different economic, technological and operational conditions. The introduction of said system has had significant importance as it occurred in a context in which the transitions of risk were evaluated with a track character (acceptance/nonacceptance).
