The Financial Statements is a summary of accounts of a business enterprise, with the Balance Sheet reflecting the assets, liabilities and capital as on a certain date and income statement showing the results and operations during a certain period.

Solution SA 2

Limitation of financial statements:

 

  • Historical Records: Financial Statements provide information which is historical in nature and therefore, it is not useful for the potential investors or lenders as it does not provide any information of the future business or its future financial position.
  • Affected by Estimated: Financial Statements are the outcome of accounting concepts and conventions combined with estimates and are therefore, not free from bias.
  • Different Accounting Practices: Financial Statements can be drawn up on the basis of different accounting practices. Profitability determined by each of these practise will be different and hence, there is no standard practice which can be followed by all.
  • Qualitative Elements are Ignored: Financial Statements are based completely on monetary items and therefore, many non-monetary important factors that affect the profitability of the business are ignored.
  • Price Level Changes are Ignored: Financial Statements follow the historical cost concept while disclosing the value of assets. Because of such practices, current market value is not taken into consideration.
  • Does not meet the Interests of all Parties: Financial Statements for a period are used by a number of interested users for various purposes and interests. It is not possible to meet the purpose of all interested parties.
  • Aggregate Information: Financial Statements show aggregate information and not detailed information and hence, it is not useful for the users in decision making.

  6. provide necessary information to the users of such financial statements.
  7. present and disclose accounting policies and conventions used in the preparation of books of accounts of the business entity.

Solution SA 4

Importance of financial statements to its various users:

  1. Shareholders: They are concerned in the profitability and viability of the capital invested by them in the business. The financial statements prepared by the business enable them to have adequate information to evaluate the financial health and performance of the business.
  2. Creditors: These are individuals and organisations to whom a business owes money on account of credit purchases of goods and services. Hence, creditors require information about the credit worthiness and liquidity position of the business.
  3. Government: It requires information to determine various macroeconomic variables such as national income, GDP, industrial growth etc. The accounting information helps the government in formulation of various policies and to address various economic problems such as unemployment, poverty etc.
  4. Investors: These are parties who have invested or are planning to invest in the business of an enterprise. To evaluate the viability and prospects of their investments, investors need information on the profitability and solvency position of the business.
