More not-for-profit organizations are recognizing the benefit of financial performance measurement as a strategy for evaluating operations, programs, services and financial stability. One useful measurement tool is financial ratio analysis. It involves taking data from your financial statements, using it to calculate ratios appropriate for your not-for-profit, and then benchmarking those ratios against past performance, management objectives or other organizations. Financial ratio analysis can help you assess your organization's overall financial condition and flag financial patterns that might be harmful or those that are successful. It could be the winning strategy you need to stay ahead in the numbers game.
