Financial Statements There are four basic financial statements. These statements, and any supplemental materials, are the final products of financial accounting. Their preparation follows prescribed rules and regulations, and you will notice many similarities in the actual statements when you look at them during this course.

Let’s take a close look at the four basic financial statements:

1. The income statement—This statement must be prepared first. It shows all the revenues earned, and the expenses incurred, during a specific period of time, such as a quarter or a year. The expenses are subtracted from the revenues to yield net income, which is often called “the bottom line” (as it used to be the last line on the income statement). Today, you often will see earnings per share information on the income statement following the net income. Other names for the income statement include statement of earnings, statement of operations, profit and loss statement, statement of revenue less expenses, and consolidated statement of income.

2. The statement of stockholders’ equity—This statement is prepared next, as it includes the net income calculated on the income statement. This statement reflects the changes that have taken place to the equity of the company over the same period of time as the income statement. This statement might also be called the statement of stockholders’ equity and retained earnings. If there are no changes in the shares of stock issued by the company, the statement might be called a statement of retained earnings. The retained earnings of a company represent the earnings that were not paid out as dividends. If the financial statements were prepared for an entity that includes more than one company or division, this statement would be called a consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

3. The balance sheet—This statement is prepared after the statement of stockholders’ equity, as it contains the equity position of the company. The name “balance sheet” was derived from the accounting equation “assets = liabilities + equity.” The equation must be in balance. All assets must equal the sum of all liabilities and equity. The statement gives a snapshot of the company on a specific date, such as December 31 of a particular year. Other names for the balance sheet are statement of financial position, consolidated balance sheet, or consolidated statement of financial position.

4. The cash flow statement—The last statement prepared is the cash flow statement. This statement uses information from all the other statements. Its purpose is to show the inflows and outflows of cash during the same time period as shown on the income statement and the statement of stockholders’ equity. It will reflect cash provided by the operations of the business, investment activities, and financing activities.

As mentioned above, the balance sheet is a reflection of the accounting equation: assets = liabilities + equity. Assets are those items that a company owns, such as cash,

accounts receivable, furniture and fixtures, and inventory. Liabilities show what a company owes to others, such as accounts payable, loans payable, and mortgages. The equity section contains information on the company’s stock as well as the earnings retained by the company.
