Financial Statements

A financial statement (or financial report) is a formal record of the financial activities of a business, person, or other entity.

For a business enterprise, all the relevant financial information, presented in a structured manner and in a form easy to understand, are called the financial statements. They generally consist of four basic financial statements, and often accompanied by a management discussion and analysis.

  1. Balance Sheet – statement of the financial position at a given point in time
  2. Income Statement – revenue less expenses for a given period ending on a specific date
  3. Statement of Owners Equity – or Statement of Retained Earnings (often included inside the Balance Sheet)
  4. Statement of Cash Flows – summary of the source and use of cash or cash equivalents (helps indicate whether there is enough available cash to carry on daily operations)
