Management Accounts

To assess a company's performance over a certain period, you need a set of financial and non-financial reports, known as management accounts. It usually includes a profit and loss account, balance sheet, cash flow statement and analysis or commentary.

These reports assess the cash flow of a business. As the business grows, the reports may be presented to the senior management during board meetings, financial institutions when applying for loans, and investors seeking funding.
