Ryan Morry Week 1 Accounting 1-25-23
The company I choose to research is CVS Health Corporation. CVS health corporation is one of if not the biggest public health company in the United States. My assignment for week one is focused around the accounting reports of CVS Health Corporation and how financial information impacts companies decisions. The balance sheet is found in the Mergent online database and is on the company financials tab on the CVS Health Corporation page. A balance sheet is a financial statement that contains details of a company's assets or liabilities at a certain/specific moment of time. On CVS Health Corporation balance sheet you can see that in 2021 they had a total amount of liabilities totaling $157,618,000 and had a total amount of assets totaling $232,999,000. In 2021 CVS Health Corporation had up to $9,408,000 in liquid cash, which is important for a company to meet its short-term obligations. The Income Statement is found in the Mergent online database and is on the company financials tab on the CVS Health Corporation page. The Income Statement shows a company's revenues, expenses and profitability over a period of time. On CVS Health Corporation Income Statement you can see in 2021 that it cost CVS Health Corporation $37,066,000 in operating expenses. Also in 2021 CVS Health Corporation had a net revenue of $292,111,000 which is important because net revenue is a more accurate reflection of a business's financial success. This is because it removes all of the directly related selling expenses from the gross revenue and the left over money can be used to distribute to shareholders, invest back into the business, or save for future use. The balance sheet is one the best ways to look at the well being of a company. One trend I see on the balance sheet with the CVS Health Corporation is the company keeps growing and expanding year by year as their total assets have increased. However this does not
mean that the company is bringing in more money year after year, bringing in more assets can lead to obtaining more liabilities which can decrease the amount of money the company can bring in. It is important for a company to have more assets than liability that way the company has cash and equity to pay their obligations. For my internship at Healthmap Solutions financial information is not shared with me as I do not have the proper title/position to know about the finances of the company. Being in the IT department I don't deal with finances, however the CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is in charge of a budget that contains all workers, software, and vendors to ensure the business and all its important data is secured. Our company likes to have “town hall meetings” monthly where departments get together and voice concerns or explain some improvements made over the past few weeks in between meetings. The departments might bring up money spent or needed for a project. I do not see any financial information posted in the office as the office is in Tampa Florida and I have yet to go down. The only information that got emailed to me from the company regarding financial information was when the annual benefits sign up was going around the company. My manager described how the financial information he gets affects his role because he has to use the information given to him to determine the priority of remediation projects, the personnel he needs to get the projects and everyday alerts swiftly completed, and the tools/software needed for the completion of the projects/everyday work. He will use this information to then set up a diagram of goals and objectives to give to the people who are teaming up to complete a project or daily activity.
