ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF
FINANCIAL-STATEMENT-AS-A-MANAGERIAL-TOOL-FOR-DECISION-MAKING
Abstract
Financial
Statement Analysis and Interpretation is a very vital instrument of good
management decision-making in business enterprise. Good decisions ensure
business survival, profitability and growth. Without financial statement
analysis in investment decisions, an enterprise is likely to make decisions,
which could spell its doom. Poor or lack of qualitative financial statement
analysis could lead to investment returns, low profitability and even inability
to identify viable investment opportunities. The main objective of this project
is therefore, was to determine how firms could use financial statement analysis
and interpretation to aid management decisions and to avert the problems
highlighted above. Primary and secondary data are employed to broaden the scope
of this study. Primary data are sourced from questionnaire responses. This
provided data for the validation of the hypotheses tested with the use of
chi-square (X2). The test revealed as follows: (1) Significant difference
between the returns of the financial statement in Analysis and Interpretation
based on management decision. (2) Organizational profitability has relationship
with financial statement analysis and interpretation based management decision
but not significantly. The project concludes that companies should pay great
attention to the use of financial statement analysis so as to properly equip
themselves with this invaluable tool. The researcher recommends the following:
(a)
Accountants or financial analysts should not be rushed in collection,
preparation, analysis and interpretation off financial statements.
(b)
Financial statements should be made to reflect current cost accounting to
eliminate or reduce the effects to historical cost principle and inflation risk
element.
(c) A combination of different ratios should
be used in analyzing a company’s financial and/or operating performance. Proper
use of financial statement analysis should be made not only in investment but
also in other areas of decision making.

Background of the Study
The complex
nature of today’s business world and the transformation of the entire world
into a global village have been of great concerns to manages of all forms of
business organizations. According to Ojuigo (2001), the problems of managers
are multi:-varied because of inefficiency in management of poor decision
outcomes of these organizations. Therefore, the managers are unable to achieve
the organizational objective within a period of time.
As diverse
as business is, its controllable and uncontrollable factors influence all
decisions which ultimately lead to the realization of set objectives. To
achieve this, management needs reliable, authentic and relevant information
from the financial statements to efficiently facilitate decision making.
