FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Two important financial statements commonly used for financial analysis are P & L
account, and balance sheet.
(i) The balance sheet shows the financial position of the business as at the end of a
particular period (month, quarter or year)
(ii) The profit and loss account shows the financial results of the working of an
enterprise over a period of time. For example, 1 st of April 2012 to 31 st March 2013
(iii) When comparative analysis of these statements for a number of years is done, it
would give a better view about the financial performance of the business unit.
(iv) Financial analysis and interpretation of financial statements have now become
important decision making tools.
limitations
(i) The balance sheet numbers are available as on a particular date hence may not reveal the
correct
position of the financial health for over a period of one year.
(ii) Since both profit and loss account and balance sheet are in the form of numerical statements,
these statements would not reveal the overall picture about the performance of the concern or
business unit.
iii) The methods of valuation of assets, writing off depreciation, amortization of costs, large
expenses etc. may vary from business unit to business unit. Therefore, a comparison of these
numbers and ratios would not give desired results and calls for further detailed investigations.
(iv) Further, these financial statements depict the performance of the business enterprise.
Therefore, any meaningful interpretation of these statements, will depend upon the projections of
the future trend.
