      In finding day sales outstanding you have divided total receivable by total sales
      Which i think is inappropriate because
      Receivable also includes of some amounts which are older than 90 days
      Which is some how can be imagined as bad debts for a movement.
      Is it right or not?

    This helps me so much. I am a number thinker, which is hard when it comes to analyzing accounting. I focus on what numbers need to be where and making sure I balance, but I never take that other piece and apply comprehension to what I’m doing. This helps me SO much. Thank you.

    3 years of uni taught us how to make financial statements but never taught us how to analyze them. Eventhough it sounds like creating financial statements does justice to the analysis part, I never really knew how they're linked to other statements (like aging schedule) I learnt so much more after watching this video.

    Wow. This is indeed useful and inspiring. So to read and analyse the financial statements like a CFO is to be able to use financial ratios to analyse the numbers and make a meaning conclusion from it. I have been learning accounting for many years and learning financial ratios is not my favorite part. There are so many ratios out there and not easy to remember. Now I see it differently cos they are really very useful at work.

    Trailing LTM Financial KPIs (alongwith customer verticals, business partnership in line with business strategy laid down by CEO) are reviewed for covenant compliance, cash position, FP&A, investment management etc. All this is covered in financiall model. No CFO goes into AP AR accrued expenses schedules etc what you did is actually a controller JD. Helpful for accountants.

    • @JAQ1988
      @JAQ1988 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      KPIs. AR AP turnover, defensive intervals, liquidity ratios, financial leverages, CFOs, profitability ratios etc above all CFO makes sure business is strategically aligned by looking at key areas of business model i.e. geography, customers' verticals, competences, technological implications, market participants and trends etc. They spend more time on future planning rather than looking at past data for long discussion.
