Financial statement analysis

Chris Guilding

Open publisher page 1,038 citations

Abstract

Introduction This chapter moves us closer to financial management issues as it focuses on techniques that can be used to analyse the financial performance and stability of organizations. Much of the analysis can be conducted through the use of ratios, e.g. return on investment (ROI tells us the ratio of return to investment), and, as a consequence, we frequently refer to ‘ratio analysis’ in a manner synonymous with financial statement analysis.
