Analysis of Financial Statements
In the NCERT Accountancy textbook for Class 12, this topic introduces the toolbox for reading financial statements: comparative statements, common size statements, ratio analysis and cash flow analysis. You learn what each tool reveals about growth, structure and efficiency, the significance of such study for lenders, investors and managers, and its limits, since statements rest on historical cost and policies that differ across firms. The lesson sets up the chapters on ratios and cash flows by showing how raw figures become questions about strength, safety and performance.
