What is financial reporting?

Financial reporting is a means by which internal and external stakeholders understand your business’s financial health. It involves generating financial statements periodically and other financial reports that relay financial information to the concerned parties. It is useful and applicable to all businesses, regardless of their size and revenue.

Generally, large businesses must follow a set of rules and regulations pertaining to financial reports as they must follow the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) obligations. The other businesses must also follow a set of standards when reporting their finances.

Why is financial reporting important for your business?

Financial reporting reveals your company’s financial health. In the U.S., every business needs to conform to the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Financial reporting provides you with data to analyze your business and aids in the management of your internal operations. Analysis cannot be done without data, and financial reports help you evaluate various aspects of your business in an easy-to-understand manner.

Generating this report allows you to make payments on time and avoid paying the extra fee for late payments where it applies. It also ensures your cash flow is maintained and you have a clear idea of how much cash you have at hand rather than an unrealistic number.

Cash/bank books
