Financial Statement Q&A FAQs
There are five types of Financial Statements: the income statement, the statement of financial position, the statement of change in equity, the Cash Flow statement, and the notes to Financial Statements.
Companies with strong balance sheets are structured to support their business goals and maximize profitability. A company with a strong balance sheet will have most of the following characteristics: intelligent use of Working Capital, positive Cash Flow, a balanced capital structure, and income-generating assets.
In evaluating a corporation's financial health, investors, analysts, and creditors refer to its balance sheet, income statement, and statement of Cash Flows.
Financial Statements are the primary source of information about a company's income, expenses, profitability, and debt.
To determine a company's financial health, examine its income statement. It will show you the company's sales revenue, merchandise expenses and operating charges, as well as its net income.
