Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Ratio analysis involves comparing various financial data items within a business’s financial statements. This practice helps businesses assess their profitability, liquidity, leverage control, efficiency, ROI, and the economic standing of publicly traded companies.
Financial statements are typically intricate, presenting numbers that may not offer complete information to readers or stakeholders at first glance. Financial ratio analysis serves to simplify this data, presenting it in a more accessible and comprehensible format. It aids stakeholders in understanding the data more easily and supports top management in the decision-making process by providing a condensed set of data for review instead of the entire set of books of accounts.
A notable limitation of financial ratio analysis is that a single ratio cannot provide a comprehensive understanding of your financial health. It is necessary to calculate multiple ratios to draw meaningful conclusions. Another limitation is its reliance on the quantitative aspects of the firm, neglecting qualitative aspects.
