The Financial Analysis Process - Where to Find Financial Information and Which Statements to Use

 
“The user of a firm’s annual report can expect to encounter a great quantity of information that encompasses the required information- Financial statements, notes to the financial statements, the auditor’s report, a five year summary of key financial data, management’s discussion and analysis of operations – as well as material that is included in the report at the imagination and discretion of management.”

“Corporate financial statements are available from several sources. All publicly held companies must file a form 10-K annually with the SEC. The information in this document is mandated by the SEC and contains uniform content, presented in the same order for all filing companies.”

In this 4-minute video our speaker, Ronald A. Sereika, reviews how to navigate the vast information available when starting the financial analysis process. He discusses where to find financial information, which financial statements to use, and relating the balance sheet with profit and loss.
