Components of Financial Statements that every business should maintain:

There are several crucial Financial Statement components that every business needs. It’s not just a compliance concern; they are vital tools to understand your business’s performance and financial health. The components of Financial Statements are as follows:

1: Income Statement

An Income Statement is a snapshot of the business’s income and expenses during a given period of time (e.g., quarterly, monthly, or yearly). It shows the organisation’s profitability and tells how much money the business has made or lost.

2: Balance Sheet

A Balance Sheet shows a business’s financial standing at a single point in time by displaying its assets, liabilities and capital. It shows the current value of a business, and by looking at the Balance Sheet, one can understand if the organisation can meet its financial obligations.

3: Notes to Financial Statements

Notes to Financial Statements give greater context around the information contained in your financial statements. For example, the assets may be listed in the Balance Sheet, but the notes to financial statements will precisely explain those assets, such as the depreciation charged on them, the components of those assets, etc. The information in this document is required to ensure that the business complies with standards and regulations.

4: Cash Flow Statement

A cash flow statement indicates the sources and utilisation of cash for a given period of time. The cash flow statement informs investors and creditors about the solvency of the business, where the business is receiving its cash from, and where it is spending it.

5: Statement of Change in Equity

This document shows the changes made to a company’s share capital, retained earnings, and accumulated reserves. For a sole trader, it shows changes to the owner’s equity. For a partnership firm, it shows the changes among the partners’ equity. In the case of a company, the statement of change in equity shows how equity share has changed among all the shareholders.
