Abstract: Abstract Financial analysis involves reading a company’s financial statements and trying to squeeze the juicy details out of them: how old the captain is, the age of the machines and the overall performance of the business. This requires a minimum skill set and a great deal of ingenuity. Financial analysis is often one of the first steps in business management: a prerequisite for making good decisions is having first understood what the business is all about.
