 ABSTRACT

A ratio analysis is a quantitative analysis of information contained in a company’s

financial statements. Ratio analysis is based on line items in financial statements

like the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. Ratio analysis is

used to evaluate various aspects of a company’s operating and financial

performance such as its efficiency, liquidity, profitability and solvency.

Accenture provides services and solutions across more than 40 industries in five

industry groups. It offers services in “Strategy and Consulting, Interactive,

Technology and Operations” divisions with operations in 200 cities across

50countries with a workforce of 537,000. 91 of the Fortune global 100 are more

than 3 quarters of the Fortune Global 500 companies are clients of the company.

Financial statements are the end products of financial accounting practices. The

two major financial statements are the Profit & Loss Account and the Balance

Sheet. Performance analysis is a study of the relationship among various financial

facts and figures as given in the set of financial statements. Financial analysis

focuses on highlighting the facts and relationships related to managerial

performance, business efficiency, financial strengths and weaknesses and the credit

worthiness of the society.

The term financial performance analysis includes both analysis and interpretation

of the relationships of various elements of the financial statements. The term

analysis means simplification of financial data, by methodical classification, given

in the financial statements. Interpretation means explaining the significance of the

v
data so simplified. These two are complementary to each other. Analysis is useless

without interpretation and interpretation without analysis is difficult to understand.

Financial analysis can be undertaken by the management of the society or by the

parties outside the society like owners, trade creditors, lenders, investors, labour

unions, analysts and others. The nature of the analysis will differ depending on the

purpose of the analyst. Most widely used techniques of financial statements

analysis are comparative statements, common size statements, trend analysis, ratio

analysis, funds flow analysis and cash flow analysis.
