A word from the author:
The financial statements can be used to compare two or more financial periods (balance sheet, profit and loss account, and the notes to the accounts), in order to determine the financial health of the company.
In most cases, the financial analyst needs to comment on the financial independence, the financial balance, liquidity, profitability, and the value added of the company.
The financial strength of the company is at the heart of the chief executive’s key concerns because it is one of the main factors determining the company’s sustainability.
