FAQs on Financial Statements of Companies - 2 Important Question & Answer - Accounting for CA Intermediate (Old Scheme)

1. What are the different financial statements prepared by companies?
Ans. Companies prepare three main financial statements: the income statement, the balance sheet, and the cash flow statement. The income statement shows the company's revenues, expenses, and net income or loss over a specific period. The balance sheet provides a snapshot of the company's financial position at a specific point in time, showing its assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity. The cash flow statement reports the company's cash inflows and outflows during a specific period, categorizing them into operating, investing, and financing activities.
2. What is the purpose of preparing financial statements?
Ans. The main purpose of preparing financial statements is to provide relevant and reliable financial information about a company's performance and financial position to various stakeholders, including shareholders, investors, lenders, and regulatory authorities. These statements help stakeholders make informed decisions regarding investments, lending, and other financial transactions. Financial statements also assist management in evaluating the company's profitability, liquidity, and solvency, and in identifying areas for improvement.
3. What is the importance of the income statement?
Ans. The income statement is important as it provides a summary of a company's revenues, expenses, and net income or loss over a specific period. It helps stakeholders assess the company's profitability and its ability to generate income. By comparing the income statements of different periods, stakeholders can identify trends, determine the company's growth potential, and evaluate the effectiveness of its cost management strategies. The income statement also serves as a basis for calculating financial ratios, such as gross profit margin and net profit margin, which aid in analyzing a company's financial performance.
4. How does the balance sheet reflect a company's financial position?
Ans. The balance sheet reflects a company's financial position at a specific point in time by presenting its assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity. Assets represent what the company owns, such as cash, inventory, property, and equipment. Liabilities represent what the company owes, such as loans, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Shareholders' equity represents the residual interest in the company's assets after deducting its liabilities. By analyzing the balance sheet, stakeholders can assess the company's liquidity, solvency, and overall financial stability.
5. What information does the cash flow statement provide to stakeholders?
Ans. The cash flow statement provides information about a company's cash inflows and outflows during a specific period, categorizing them into operating, investing, and financing activities. It helps stakeholders understand how the company generates and utilizes cash. The cash flow statement reveals the company's ability to generate cash from its core operations, its investments in assets, and its financing activities such as borrowing and issuing equity. By analyzing the cash flow statement, stakeholders can assess the company's liquidity, cash flow sustainability, and ability to meet its financial obligations.
