What to Focus On

  • Financial statements are formal annual reports.
  • They are based on recorded facts, conventions, postulates, and personal judgements.
  • Historical cost is the basis of recording.
  • Main objective: decision-making.
  • They show resources and obligations of the business.
  • They help assess earning capacity.
  • Three main financial statements are balance sheet, statement of profit and loss, and cash flow statement.
  • Balance sheet shows position at a date.
  • Statement of profit and loss shows result for a period.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Proposed dividend is a liability shown on the face of the balance sheet.

Cash and cash equivalents can be shown wherever convenient, even under non-current assets if they are large amounts.
