financial statements do,They show you
the money.

Summary
There are two major types of financial
statements-stock reports and flow reports
Financial statement can serve as an
important device to disclose information to
investors in order for them to make better
decisions
Four major financial statements are
compared,explained and illustrated in this
lesson
45
Case for Open Discussion
The financial statement sits imposingly in front of
you,a stream of numbers rolling endlessly down
the page,
You are a new board member,studying the
numbers,hoping to decipher their meaning,Then
you are hit with the accounting jargon,balance
sheets and income statements; cash basis and
accrual basis,You think you hear the financial
statements quietly laugh at you,and you
begin to wonder if the board should hire
a psychiatrist instead of an accountant,
46
Suggested Questions
How are financial statements prepared?
Do they make things simpler?
What information can we infer from these
statements?
How can we make use of them?
etc…
