Balance Sheet & Income Statement. Are they important? And why ?

The financial balance report is an important tool in analyzing a company's financial health, so
it is very important for business owners and financial managers to understand and master
balance sheet calculation techniques.
It is important to make a profit and loss report because it can be a reference regarding the
financial condition of the business or business being run. An income statement is a report that
presents information on expenses, income, and profits or losses generated by a company during
a certain period.

Difference Between Income Statement and Balance Sheet


The income statement and balance sheet report different financial accounting information to
the business. The main differences between the two reports include:
1. The income statement reports income, expenses and profit and loss, while the balance sheet
reports assets, liabilities and shareholder equity.
2. An income statement reports financial performance for a specific time period, often a month,
quarter or year. The balance sheet reports financial activity for a specific date.
3. Line items on the income statement are compared with sales figures to find the company's
gross margin, operating income, and net income, as percentages. Line items on a balance sheet
can be used to understand a business's liquidity. Recording financial business activities in this
section helps track the strength of the company.

Here are some reasons why they are important: Importance of Balance Sheets:

• A balance sheet provides a snapshot of a company's financial position at a specific point


in time.
• It shows a company's assets, liabilities, and shareholder equity, which can help
investors and creditors analyze the company's financial health and determine how well
management is putting the company's resources to work.
• It can help managers analyze the liquidity and financial leverage of the company.
• It can help determine risk by listing everything a company owns and all of its debt,
allowing a company to quickly assess whether it has borrowed too much money,
whether the assets it owns are not liquid enough, or whether it has enough cash on hand
to meet current demands.

Importance of Income Statements:

• An income statement shows whether a company is generating a profit or a loss.


• It focuses on four key items: sales revenues, expenses, gains, and losses.
• It can help managers identify problems reducing profits and opportunities for increasing
profits.
• It shows lenders whether a company is generating enough profit to service debts.
• It can help investors and creditors analyze the company's financial performance and
prospects.
