Introduction:
A financial statement is the complete record of financial transactions that take place in a company at a particular period of time. It provides important financial information like assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the company to its internal and external users. It helps them to know the exact financial position of the company. There are four basic financial statements; they are:
- The income statement: This is a financial statement that shows the net income earned or net loss suffered by a company through reporting all the revenues earned and expenses incurred by the company over a specific period of time. An income statement is also known as an operations statement, an earnings statement, a revenue statement, or a
profit and loss statement. The net income is the excess of revenue over expenses. - The
retained earnings statement: This is a financial statement that shows the amount of net income retained by a company at a particular point of time for reinvestment and pays its debts and obligations. It shows the amount of retained earnings that is not paid as dividends to shareholders. - The balance sheet: This is a financial statement that shows the assets, liabilities, and
stockholders’ equity of a company at a particular point of time. It reveals the financial health of a company. Thus, this statement is also called as theStatement of Financial Position . It helps the users to know about the creditworthiness of a company as to whether the company has enough assets to pay off its liabilities. - Statement of
cash flows : This is a financial statement that shows the cash and cash equivalents of a company for a particular period of time. It determines the net changes in cash through reporting the sources and uses of cash due to the operating, investing, and financial activities of a company.
