The total revenue of the collection
The financial benefits that will result   from the sale or service of an economic complex are called income. The important thing about a collection's income is that the investors' income is not part of a collection's assets.

 

The amount brought by shareholders
In some cases, shareholders make a profit due to long-term investment in a group. The amount of return that shareholders make from this investment is what investors say.

 

Shareholder output
Sometimes the company suffers losses due to debt repayment or some other reason. This loss will eventually lead to a reduction in shareholder capital; This process is called investor output.

 

Benefits of preparing periodic financial statements

A set of financial statements is a balance sheet that lists the assets, liabilities and equity of a group. The balance sheet is also called a financial statement. In general, the financial position is adjusted in such a way that the assets of the group are equal to the amount of debt and shareholders' salaries.

Balance sheets are called financial statements because the balance sheet contains accurate information about the amount of debt and assets of a collection.

The general view of the balance sheet is that the assets of the collection will be mentioned on the right side of the balance sheet; Also on the left side of the balance sheet will be the amount of debts. Finally, at the end of a balance sheet, the amount of shareholders' salaries will be mentioned.

 

 

Comprehensive profit and loss statement
Another financial statement that is required for a collection is a comprehensive income statement. Based on this financial statement, the exact amount of income and expenses during a financial period will be determined.

The comprehensive income statement is a set of operating income and expenses, not non-operating expenses. As a result, the preparation of this financial statement is done when no interest has been deposited in the account of the shareholders. Compiling a comprehensive income statement is useful when a collection needs to be modified.

 

Profit and Loss Statement
In addition to the balance sheet, another important type of financial statement is called the income statement. The reason for compiling this financial report is because it will determine the profitability or loss of a collection.

This balance sheet is very important for companies in the capital market; Because based on observing the same balance sheet and examining its profitability or loss, investors will invest in a set.

It is based on these financial reports that analysts will predict the profitability of a group, and as a result of this analysis, many people will buy or sell shares of a company. In the financial statement of profit and loss, items such as income, expenses and the amount of profit of a collection will be mentioned.

 

Cash flow statement
Cash flow statement is one of the most important financial statements that shows the amount of cash flow of a collection over a period of one year. The basis for preparing this financial statement is the information that is mentioned in the financial statement of profit and loss.

The activities and resources through which cash is generated for a collection are of great importance to a collection; So like the heart to man, finding these resources is important and necessary for a collection. Finally, this financial statement shows the sources through which cash is generated and the sources through which cash is lost.

To accurately compile this financial statement, in addition to using a professional accountant, you must also use useful software in this area. Examining the financial statements of a collection is very important for the creditors of a collection because they can see how well a collection is able to pay the repayments based on the cash flow statement.

Finally, this financial statement shows the flexibility of a collection and the strength of a collection to repay loans.
