WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS?Information that one can get from theFinancial Statements per se does notsuffice as a basis for making a sounddecision for the company. One has to digdeep into these reports to see the meatof what will constitute an important basisfor the said decision-making.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS?Let us consider the following situation.Suppose you were invited to invest in twocompanies. However, you can only chooseone to invest in because of your limitedsituation.How will you choose whichcompany to trust in your investment?
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS?Suppose further that the two companies areboth merchandising businesses offering thesame line of products and targeting the samemarket.Checking on their FS, you wereprovided with this information:FS DATACOMPANY ALPHACOMPANY BRAVONET INCOME, Dec. 2019PhP 2,000,000PhP 1,850,000TOTAL ASSETS, Dec. 2019PhP 22,114,800PhP 19,394,811

METHODS IN ANALYZING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
HORIZONTAL ANALYSISHorizontal analysis of the FS is themethod of comparing an account title overa number of accounting periods.For example, you will analyze the trend of the Cash account for several accounting periods. Therefore, you will compare the Cash balances for Year 1, Year 2, and the following years.
HORIZONTAL ANALYSISThis is the reason why it is calledhorizontal analysis following the directionof comparing the balances of just oneaccountsidebysidethisaccount’sbalances making a horizontal comparison.The movement, i.e. the increase ordecrease in the balances will consist theanalysis.This technique is also calledTREND ANALYSIS.
HORIZONTAL ANALYSISHorizontal analysis involves FS of two or moreaccounting periods. Commonly, this technique is usedon the Balance Sheet accounts and Income Statementaccounts but can also be used in analyzing any otherFS.Putting the FS of different accounting periodsside by side will lead us to account for the changesin each account title over time. These changes canbeexpressedeitherinmonetaryvalueorinpercentage.You may use the following formulas tocompute the changes.

VERTICAL ANALYSISVertical analysis is a method offinancial statement analysis in whicheachlineitemislistedasapercentage of a base figure withinthe statement.Vertical Analysis: Definition, How It Works, and Example (investopedia.com)
VERTICAL ANALYSISVertical Analysis of the FS is also calledCOMMON SIZE ANALYSIS because itpresents the FS account titles as apercentage of a base amount.TheBalance Sheet items are presented as apercentage of the Total Assets, while theIncome Statement items as a percentageof Sales/Net Sales.
VERTICAL ANALYSISWe can present all the items on the BalanceSheet as a percentage of the total assets.This will give us information regarding thecomposition of the assets, as each assetaccount is presented as a percentage of thetotal assets.On the other side of theequation, we can infer what percentage of theasset is financed by the liability and what partof the asset goes to the owners.
VERTICAL ANALYSISIn the Income Statement, account balances arepresented as a percentage of sales.This willgive us the data about the amount/percentageof sales that is used up by a particularexpense.It will also present the Net Incomeas the part of sales that were not used up.
