Executive Summary
Any academic course of the study has a great value when it has practical application in the
real life. Only a lot of theoretical knowledge will be little important unless it is applicable in
the practical life. So we need proper application of our knowledge to get come benefit from
our theoretical knowledge to make it more fruitful when we engage ourselves in such field to
make proper use of our theoretical knowledge in our practical life.

Financial statements provide small business owners with the basic tools for letennining how
well their operations perform at all times. Many entrepreneurs do not realize that financial
statements have a value that goes beyond their use as supporting documents to loan
applications and tax returns. These statements are concise reports designed to summarize
financial activities for specific periods. Owners and managers an use financial statement
analysis to evaluate the past and current financial condition of their business, diagnose any
existing financial problems, and forecast future trends in the firm's financial position.
Evaluation pinpoints, in financial terms, here the firm has been and where it is today.
Diagnosis determines the causes of the financial problems that statement analysis uncovers
and suggests solutions for them, forecasts are valuable in statement analysis for two reasons:
We can prepare forecasts lat assume that the basic financial facts about a company will
remain the same for a specified period in the future. These forecasts will illustrate where
we're likely to land if the status quo is maintained.
