Intro to Financial Statements

|
Balance Sheet
|
At the E*trade.com site you would be able to learn basics of financial statements. What is a financial statement? Why do we have them? Why are financial statements important? How read them?

|
The Balance Sheet reports the financial condition of a business: all the company's assets (things that other people might be willing to pay for) and liabilities (things that the company will have to pay for).

Income Statement

|
Cash Flow Statement
|
The Income Statement may be the most popular major financial statement, because it seems to be the easiest to understand. But there is a lot of complexity hiding underneath the surface.
|
|
The Cash Flows Statement (or Statement of Cash Flow) is perhaps the trickiest and least understood of the major items in an annual report. It's All About Cash. Does Anybody Know What Cash Flow Really Is?
