Financial Statements and Cashflow Management
The business that I chose for this assignment was Target. I chose this business, not only because I frequently shop there but also, I was curious to see how a pandemic and supply chain issues have impacted their business. Target is a general merchandise retailer, who sells their goods through brick-and-mortar and online stores. The store contains a variety of general merchandise ranging from apparel and home décor to seasonal items and even food. With Target being in all 50 states, most Americans are familiar with the business.
Using Mergent Online, I was able to pull the financial statements for Target’s last reported fiscal quarter, which ended July 31, 2021 (Mergent, n.d.)
. Since July 31 is the end of their second quarter, we can assume that the third quarter has just completed at the end of October; however, I assume it is too early for that financial data to be reported. Financial statements are important to a business because the provide insight to the company’s revenue and expenses along with an understanding of if they company has the ability to meet their short-term and/or long-term goals. A company’s financial statements are a decision-
making tool that allows awareness of the company’s financial position.
Successful cash flow management is essential to each and every business. With a good cash flow, a business has the opportunity for business growth and development. A positive cash
flow also ensures a company has sufficient funds to pay employee salaries as well as taxes and vendor cost.
