Financial accounting
- Income statement (1 year period). Revenue and expenditure.
Revenue - amount of money a company generates from
sales. Expenditure - expenses incurred to run the business
(suppliers, employees, rental). Total Rev - Total expenses =
profit (before tax). Need to than pay tax so minus tax from
profit = net profit. Pay out a dividend? Deduct it after profit =
net profit. Retained income = net profit
- Accrual basis of accounting. If you experience expenses
at a particular point in time you need to accrue them in
the year you enter the transaction and not within the
subsequent period.Eg laptops. Look at underlying
transaction and see whether it has taken place or not
(supersedes legal docs such as invoicing)
- Financial Ratio Analysis. Takes the financial
statements and pulls out KPI's: 1. Take a
snapshot of whether a co is getting better or
worse or staying the same. 2. Compare the
performance of a co over a period of time. 3. We
also use them to benchmark.
