Key points:
- the balance sheet is used to
assess the firm’s financial
position at a point in time
- the cash flow statement and
the income statement are used
to assess performance over the
period
- the cash flow statement
explains the change cash from
the beginning of year versus
end of year
- the income statement shows
the performance over the year
- the statement of retained
earnings shows how beginning
of year retained earnings
increases with net income and
decreases with dividends,
resulting in end of year
