Discuss financial statements, financial statement analysis and ratio analysis
Solution
The financial statements include income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and
statement of changes in stockholder's equity . The purpose of preparing these financial
statements is to ensure that the stakeholders of the company are provided with the correct and
reliable information on the operations and financial aspects of the company. These statements are
frequently used by various parties for investment purposes and understand growth prospects of
the company (by investors), to grant loans (by banks and financial institutions) and for tax
related issues (by government and state-tax authorities). Important information as to the
ownership of the company, assets and liabilities can also be obtained from the balance sheet of
the company. Current cash flow position can also be evaluated with the use of cash flow
statement.
Financial statement analysis is performed to evaluate the current financial position of the
company. Analysts use techniques such as horizontal, vertical and ratio analysis to determine the
financial performance of the company over a particular period. Information for 2 or more periods
is compared with the use of these tools to analyze the growth/decline in the company's overall
financial performance/soundness. It is on the basis of information derived from financial
statement analysis, that various decisions relating to investment (in the company) are made by
outside parties. The company can also perform such comparisons for investing money in growth
and expansion projects.
Ratio analysis is considered as one of the most important tools for financial analysis. Different
types of ratios can be calculated to determine the liquidity (short term financial position) and
solvency (long term financial position) of the company. Overall profitability and operational
efficiency can also be determined with the use of ratios. Various forms of ratios can be
calculated and compared with the ratios of other companies within the same industry to
determine the company's overall financial and operational performance. Calculation and
comparision of ratios over a period of years can also provide highly useful results with respect to
the profitability and growth of the company.
