What is the Role of a Financial Manager?

Review of Financial Statements
- Financial statements provide information about a company's financial performance and position.
- Income Statement: Shows profitability over a period of time (revenues - expenses = profit/loss).
- Balance Sheet: Shows the financial position at a specific point in time (assets = liabilities + equity).
- Statement of Cash Flows: Shows the change in cash over a period of time (operating, investing, financing activities).
Example: Carrefour 2017
- Revenues: 91,513 million Euros
- Expenses: 90,945 million Euros
- Profit: 568 million Euros (profitability over a certain period - year)
- Balance Sheet (Carrefour) 2017: Shows the financial position of the firm at a particular point.
- Assets: 53,650 million
