Study Notes
Financial Statement Analysis
- This textbook covers analysis of financial statements as per Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013.
- The 2021 edition is for CBSE Class XII students.
Tools for Financial Statement Analysis
- Comparative Statements and Common-Size Statements.
- Comparative Statements compare components of financial statements (e.g., Balance Sheet, Income Statement) for two or more periods. This enables comparison of changes over time.
- Common-Size Statements express individual components as percentages of a common base (e.g., total assets for Balance Sheet, total revenue for income statement). This facilitates comparison of trends and changes in proportions of financial statements elements.
- Ratio Analysis is a useful tool. Ratios relate interdependent items in the statement. A ratio represents an arithmetical relationship between two or more interdependent accounting variables.
- Cash Flow Statement shows the flow of Cash and Cash Equivalents during a period. It's categorized by operating, investing and financing activities. Funds Flow Statement is a related tool not discussed in the syllabus.

- Shows trend and changes in financial position and performance over time.
- Helps assess strengths and weaknesses of the company's financial position and performance.

Limitations of Comparative Statements

- Subjective judgment and assumptions can affect the analysis.
