Financial statement analysis applies analytical tools to general-purpose financial statements and related data for making business decisions. It involves transforming accounting data into more useful information. Financial statement analysis reduces our reliance on hunches, guesses, and intuition as well as our uncertainty in decision making. It does not lessen the need for expert judgment; instead, it provides us an effective and systematic basis for making business decisions. This section describes the purpose of financial statement analysis, its information sources, the use of comparisons, and some issues in computations.
Internal users of accounting information are those involved in strategically managing and operating the company. They include managers, officers, internal auditors, consultants, budget directors, and market researchers. The purpose of financial statement analysis for these users is to provide strategic information to improve company efficiency and effectiveness in providing products and services.
External users of accounting information are not directly involved in running the company. They include shareholders, lenders, directors, customers, suppliers, regulators, lawyers, brokers, and the press. External users rely on financial statement analysis to make better and more informed decisions in pursuing their own goals.
The common goal of these users is to evaluate company performance and financial condition. This includes evaluating (1) past and current performance, (2) current financial position, and (3) future performance and risk.

Current assets– Current liabilities= Working capital More working capital suggests a strong liquidity position and an ability to meet current obligations.P 328This ratio measures the short-term debt-paying ability of the company. A higher current ratio suggests a strong liquidity position.Current RatioCurrent ratio =Current assetsCurrent liabilitiesP 329This ratio is like the current ratio but excludes current assets such as inventories and prepaid expenses that may be difficult to quickly convert into cash. Acid-Test RatioAcid-test ratio = Cash + Short-term investments + Current receivablesCurrent liabilitiesReferred to as Quick AssetsP 330This ratio measures how many times a company converts its receivables into cash each year.Accounts Receivable TurnoverAccounts receivable = turnoverNet salesAverage accounts receivable, netAverage accounts receivable = (Beginning acct. rec. + Ending acct. rec.)2P 331This ratio measures the number of times merchandise is sold and replaced during the year.Inventory TurnoverInventory turnover = Cost of goods soldAverage inventoryAverage inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)2P 332Provides insight into how frequently a company collects its accounts receivable.Days’ Sales Uncollected Day's sales = uncollectedAccounts receivable, net× 365Net salesP 333Days’ Sales in InventoryDay's sales in = InventoryEnding inventory× 365Cost of goods soldThis ratio is a useful measure in evaluating inventory liquidity.

However, when fundamental differences in reporting regimes impact financial statements, the user must exercise caution when drawing conclusions. Ratio AnalysisRatio analysis of financial statements also helps eliminate differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Importantly, the use of ratio analysis is fine, with some possible changes in interpretation depending on what is and what is not included in certain accounting measures across U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Care must be taken in drawing inferences from a comparison of ratios across reporting regimes.49 17-A1: Analysis Reporting 50Analysis ReportingA1Executive SummaryAnalysis OverviewEvidential MatterAssumptionsKey FactorsInferencesThe purpose of financial statement analyses is to reduce uncertainty in business decisions through a rigorous and sound evaluation.
