Financial statements are reports compiled by businesses that detail the company's financial activities and health. Financial statements are often audited by government agencies and accountants to ensure accuracy and for tax, financing, or investing purposes. The primary financial statements of for-profit businesses include the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flow, and statement of changes in equity. Nonprofit entities use a similar set of financial statements, though they have different names and communicate slightly different information.
Key Points
Financial statements provide governments, investors, executives, and lenders with a picture of a company's financial activities and profitability.
Statements required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are the balance sheet, the income statement, and the statement of cash flows.
The balance sheet provides an overview of assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity as a snapshot in time.
The income statement reports a company's revenues and expenses, including a company's profit figure called net income.
The cash flow statement (CFS) tracks how a company uses its cash to pay its debt obligations and fund its operating expenses and investments.
