    `ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    Comparability - the ability of the financial statements to create a basis and allow the identification of
    similarities and differences between the statements being compared.

    COMPARISON STANDARDS

    1. INTRACOMPARABILITY - the company's financial statements for the current period are
    being compared with the FS of prior or earlier periods. This kind of comparison would point
    out the areas for improvements and may be used as a performance evaluation tools for
    employees.
    EXAMPLE:
    A.) net income of ABC company - 2016 versus net income of ABC last year 2015
    B.) total assets of DEF company - 2016 versus total assets of DEF last year - 2015

    2. INTERCOMPARABILITY - with the comparative analysis of the company against a direct


    competitor. This is a very valuable tool especially for companies that do not have the
    monopoly of the market. It shows if the entity underperformed or overachieved in the
    recently concluded accounting period.
    EXAMPLE:
    A.)FS of Smart Telecom vs Globe telecom
    B.) Jollibee vs mcdonalds

    3. INDUSTRY STANDARD - comparing the company's FS with the standard average for that
    certain industry. By looking at the industry averages as a whole instead on a per competitor
    basis, the process would exclude the seasonal fluctuations affecting the direct competitor.
    EXAMPLE:
    FS of Smart telecom are being compared with the industry standardfor the telecom industry.

    HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS VS VERTICAL ANALYSIS

    HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS - the company will compare their own financial statements for the current
    period. The prior period amount normally serves as the basis or the starting point of the comparison.
    Increases or decreases are being taken and such will be measured in percentages.

    VERTICAL ANALYSIS - companies express items of a certain FS as a percentage of a given base amount. -
    Items in balance sheet are normally compared to the total assets of the company for that given year.
