Financial Statements

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the four basic financial statements are the balance sheet, the income statement, the cash flow statement, and the statement of stockholders' equity. This paper refers to each, in part, and then emphasizes the interrelations between them.

From the Paper:

"Resuming what I have argued for previously, there are two major arguments that demonstrate the interrelationship between the four basic financial statements. First of all, many of the values that are reflected in one statement generally find themselves in another. Even more so, there is a flow of information from one financial statement to another. As we have seen in the examples above, data from the cash flow statement is recorded on the statement of stockholders' equity or on the balance sheet."
