We recommend reading this chapter on Varsity to learn more and understand the concepts in-depth.


Key takeaways from this chapter

  1. The Annual Report (AR) of a company is an official communication from the company to its investors and other stakeholders.
  2. The AR is the best source to get information about the company; hence AR should be the default choice for the investor to source company-related information.
  3. The AR contains many sections, with each section highlighting a certain aspect of the business.
  4. The AR is also the best source to get information related to the qualitative aspects of the company.
  5. The management discussion and analysis is one of the most important sections in the AR. It has the management’s perspective on the country’s overall economy, their outlook on the industry they operate in for the year gone by (what went right and what went wrong), and what they foresee for the year ahead.
  6. The AR contains three financial statements – Profit & Loss Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statement.
  7. The standalone statement contains the financial numbers of only the company into consideration. However, the consolidated numbers contain the company and its subsidiaries financial numbers.
