Define the term Financial Statement

  

Answers


Wilfred
According to the Companies Act, the company accounts refers to the balance sheet and the profit and loss account but due to development in business practice and shareholders information needs, these are inadequate as to the information regarding financial position and performance of the company. Since most balance sheets and profit and loss accounts are summarized statements amplified by notes to the statements, the business community and the accountancy profession require that a cash flow statement as well as a statement of changes in equity be prepared. The terms company accounts and financial statements have the same meaning.
