Users of Financial Statements
1. Owners require financial data to evaluate whether their business is successful and, if
so, whether they should continue, improve, or close it.

Prospective
3. Management - Management in small enterprises might comprise the proprietors. In
large companies, however, management is typically made up of hired experts who are
tasked with planning and overseeing the business's or a section of the business's
operations. They function as the owners' agents. Managers, whether they are owners or
recruited, must make economic decisions on a regular basis. For example, how much
will we spend on supplies? Is there enough money? How much money did we make the
previous year? Did we achieve our objectives? All of these, as well as many other
concerns and business decisions, necessitate accounting data analysis.
4. Fund lenders, such as banks and other financial institutions, are concerned about the
company's capacity to meet its obligations when they come due (solvency). 5. Trade
creditors and suppliers are concerned about the company's capacity to meet its
obligations on time. They are concerned, though, about the company's liquidity, or its
capacity to meet short-term obligations.
6. The financial information of an organization is of interest to the government and other
agencies, particularly the tax authorities, for taxes and regulatory purposes. Taxes are
calculated using the outcomes of operations as well as other tax bases. In general, the
state wants to know how much money the taxpayer makes in order to calculate the tax
payable. Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), and Department of Trade and Industry are examples of government entities that
compel corporations to submit financial statements to them (DTI).
7. Employees care about the company's profitability and long-term stability. They're
interested in the company's ability to pay salaries and provide perks to employees. They
may also be interested in the company's financial status and performance in order to
analyze expansion chances and career opportunities.
Customers - When a firm and its customers have a long-term relationship or contract,
the customers become interested in the company's ability to continue to exist and
maintain operational stability. This is especially important when the entity's clients are
reliant on it. Customers often use financial statements to assess the likelihood of price
increases and to locate alternative suppliers of lower-cost services and commodities. A
