Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Financial ratio analysis is the practice of comparing two or more elements of financial data of financial statements. Financial ratio analysis allows businesses to know their profitability, leveraging control, liquidity state, ROI, efficiency, and the economic status of the stock in the case of a public traded company.
 
Financial statements are generally complex and packed with insufficient numbers to provide complete information to the readers or stakeholders at first impression on their own. Ratio analysis allows stakeholders to understand this data with the help of an easier and understandable format. It also allows the top management in the decision-making process by providing lesser data to review as compared to the entire set of books of accounts.
A single ratio can not help you understand your financial health. You must calculate multiple ratios to conclude. Also, ratio analysis is based on quantitative aspects of the firm and neglects qualitative aspects of the firm.
