This paper introduces financial statements of commercial banks and presents a procedure for analyzing bank profitability and risks using historical data. The procedure involves decomposing aggregate profit ratios into their components to help identify key factors that influence performance. This paper presents a procedure for analyzing bank performance using periodic balance sheet and income statement data. It describes the components of financial statements, provides a framework for comparing the trade-off between bank profitability and risk, and compares the performance of a small community bank with that of a large super regional banking organization. It uses data presented in a banks Uniform Bank Performance Report (UBPR) to demonstrate the analysis. Many banks experience dramatic changes in profits from one period to the next or relative to what stock analysts expect. In many cases, profits are lower because of unanticipated loan losses. In other cases, profits are higher because of extraordinary growth in noninterest income. A key point is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to evaluate performance by looking at reported balance sheet and income statement data. Net income can be managed, or manipulated, by bank managers to disguise potential problems. In this paper I examine how banks, the most important of all the financial intermediaries, operate to earn the highest profits possible: how and why they make loans, how they acquire funds and manage their assets and liabilities (debts), and how they earn income.

This study was conducted to determine the level of profitability using the ratio of ROA (Return on Asset), ROE (Return on Equity), BOPO (Operating Expenses to Operating Income), and NPM (Net Profit Margin) to PT. BPR Raga Dana Sejahtera. The type of data used is secondary data obtained by the method of documentation taken from the published reports of BPR Raga Dana Sejahtera during the 2015-2019 period. This research was conducted using the 2015-2019 financial statements, namely the balance sheet and income statement. Based on the profitability analysis, it can be seen that ROA is in healthy condition and ROE is in less healthy condition. Then the bank's BOPO is in an inefficient position in managing operational costs to obtain operating income and the bank's NPM is said to be healthy in obtaining net income. The results showed that the level of bank profitability was quite stable and efficient in running company operations

In this paper, we focus on the disclosure of pension liabilities for entities referred to in Italian Legislative Decree 30 June 1994 no. 509 (also called &ldquo;old funds&rdquo; for professionals), which is crucial for a suitable communication. After illustrating the limits of current statutory financial statements&rsquo; in relation to the information they provide on pension benefit obligations, we propose three potential solutions to bridge the gap. Each of these proposals helps ensure the completeness and clarity of financial reporting and improves upon the informational capacity and quality of disclosure. In our opinion, one of these approaches, in particular, would be preferred because of its ease of adoption. Indeed, the disclosure in the explanatory notes allows for the quantification of pension benefit obligations, and hence a more proper evaluation of entities in the medium/long- term, with no impact on annual economic-financial results as reported in the balance sheet and the income statement.

This case pertains to the foundational underpinnings of the accounting process and the statement of cash flows. In Part I, students are presented with 23 business events that they must evaluate for recording in the financial records. Part II requires students to prepare a 2012 statement of cash flows using the information presented in the company's 2011 and 2012 year-end balance sheets along with its 2012 income statement. In Part III, students must rely on a 2011 balance sheet and a 2011 statement of cash flows to work backward to derive the 2010 year-end balance sheet. There are two versions of this case: Option 1 and Option 2. The Option 2 case is a bit more challenging than the Option 1 case. Instructors should use Option 2 if they feel students are well grounded in their understanding of financial statement relationships and the customary financial reporting of a typical set of business events. Both cases reinforce students' learning related to the accounting process and the connectivity between the financial statements. Please note that only one version of the case should be used due to the existence of some overlap between the two.

This study uses the 1920 Moody's Analysis of Industrial Investments to assess the extent of financial reporting by U.S. industrial companies. The reporting of an income statement and a balance sheet, as well as the amount of disclosure in both of these statements, is examined empirically to determine which economic factors influence this reporting. The results show that corporate-governance, operating, and financing factors all significantly influence the reporting of financial statements and the extent of disclosure within those statements. However, the significant factors vary across the two financial statements and the two decisions considered (reporting a particular statement and the amount of disclosure within the statement to report). All factors are shown to influence significantly the decision to report both a balance sheet and an income statement and the amount of information to report in a balance sheet. The decision regarding the amount of information to report in an income statement is only influenced by corporate-governance and operating factors.

ABSTRACT This case introduces basic financial accounting concepts to graduate business students in an accounting orientation session (i.e., “boot camp”). Students assume they have invested in two cupcake businesses in Paris and they now want to determine which business performed best. Instructors can use this case, which provides students an opportunity to compare two businesses, to achieve several learning objectives including those related to accrual accounting (i.e., when to record transactions), the legal aspects of business (i.e., company structure, stock ownership, international accounting), and the use of estimates in financial reporting (i.e., depreciation, bad debts). This case also introduces students to the three basic financial statements (i.e., balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows), and the evaluation of financial results (i.e., net income versus cash flow, ratios). We have found that this simple, straightforward case helps students feel more confident when working with basic financial accounting concepts.

This paper aims to provide a historical review of several leading documents in relation to the objectives of financial statements. Four main documents were discussed, analyzed and compared, using the content analysis approach. These documents are The Trueblood Report (1973), The Corporate Report (1976), Making Corporate Reports Valuable (McMonnies, 1988), and Guidelines for Financial Reporting Standards (Solomons, 1989). These documents were selected because they have been described as milestones in addressing qualitative characteristics of financial and business reporting. The historical review showed that the basic objective of financial statements is concerned with providing useful information for economic decision-making. In addition, it emphasized that information is useful when: 1) it shows the economic reality of the financial statements (i.e., balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement); and 2) it is relevant and reliable to users

Financial statements describe the financial condition and results of operations of a company or institution at a certain time or for a certain period of time. The types of financial statements commonly known are: balance sheet or income statement, or business results, cash flow statement, statement of changes in financial position. There are many errors and a lack of media information for analysts on financial reports so that financial reporting data can be manipulated and harm customers or consumers. This type of research is field research using a quantitative descriptive approach. From the research results, it can be seen that the consumer's decision to choose a bank in the high category is 3 people (11.11%) with a value of 52.12 and above. The sample that got the moderate category was 18 people (66.67%), namely the value ranged from 48.1 to 52.12 and the sample that got the low category was 6 people (22.22%), namely a value of 48.1 and below. So thus it can be concluded that the consumer's decision to choose a bank seen from its financial statements can be categorized as moderate.
