Talousraportin

Talousraportin is a Finnish term that translates to "financial report" in English. It encompasses a variety of documents that provide a structured overview of a company's or organization's financial performance and position over a specific period. These reports are crucial for stakeholders, including investors, creditors, management, and regulatory bodies, to assess the financial health and operational efficiency of the entity.

The most common talousraportti includes several key financial statements. The income statement (tulostiedote) details revenues, expenses, and profits or losses. The balance sheet (tasetiedote) presents a snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity at a particular point in time. The cash flow statement (rahavirtatiedote) tracks the movement of cash both from operating activities, investing, and financing. Additionally, a talousraportti often includes notes to the financial statements, providing further context and explanations for the figures presented.

Companies typically prepare these reports on a quarterly and annual basis. Publicly traded companies have specific disclosure requirements governed by national and international accounting standards. The preparation of a talousraportti involves meticulous record-keeping and adherence to accounting principles to ensure accuracy and comparability. The data within a talousraportti is instrumental in decision-making, strategic planning, and evaluating investment opportunities.
