Analysis of Financial Statements

We analyse statements using comparative statements (change and % change) and common-size statements (each item as a % of a base).

Comparative and common-size

A comparative statement shows the change and the percentage change between two years. A common-size statement shows each item as a percentage of revenue (or total assets).
