The Basics
Setting the foundation to understand financial statements
GAIN CONTROL berrydunn.com
GAIN CONTROLGAIN CONTROL
• Assets = Liabilities + Equity– When people say the books are “in
balance”, this is what they mean– Think of equity as the leftover portion
when you take what you have (assets) and subtract what you owe (liabilities)
• Equity = Assets – Liabilities– If you owe more than you have, you
have negative equity
The Accounting Equation

Balance Sheet
• Snapshot of a company’s assets, liabilities, and equity as of a certain date

Statement of Cash Flows
• Movie about cash over some period of time
• Three types of cash flow– Cash flow from Operations – generated (or
used) by normal activities
– Cash flow from Investments – generated by sale of assets or used by purchase of capital equipment
– Cash flow from Financing – generated by bank debt, equity sales or used for distributions

For-Profit Business Entities
• C-Corporation– Pay corporate-level taxes– Shareholders pay dividend
taxes on distributions– Also referred to as a “dual tax
entity” since there are two levels of taxes paid on distributions
• Everybody Else– S-Corps, Partnerships, LLCs*
– Taxes are paid by the members as ordinary income
– Also referred to as “pass through entities” since the tax liability is passed through to the member (or shareholder)
– *LLCs are commonly set up as partnerships, but can be S-Corps or C-Corps

Financial Reporting
Different types of reports and the distinction between taxable and net income
GAIN CONTROL berrydunn.com
GAIN CONTROLGAIN CONTROL
What is GAAP?
• Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)• Accounting principles set forth over time by a variety
of authoritative and advisory bodies including,– Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)– Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)– Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)– Accounting Principles Board (APB)– International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
GAIN CONTROL berrydunn.com
GAIN CONTROLGAIN CONTROL
Accountants’ Reports
• Four types of reports – and the level of assurance with respect to GAAP– Audit – positive assurance regarding material conformity– Review – negative assurance that nothing material
came to light– Compilation – no assurance. Simply compiled financial
information– Agreed-upon Procedures – no assurance beyond the
reporting of results from the application of certain procedures

Independent Auditors’ Report
• Clean opinion: Look for the following wording:
• In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Company as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Accountants’ Review Report
• Look for the following wording:
• Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
GAIN CONTROL berrydunn.com

Footnotes
• Referenced on bottom of each statement• “The rest of the story”• Many items reported as “net” on the financial
statement are detailed in the footnotes• Footnotes are particularly important with a
review or a compilation as “going concern” questions are not necessarily discussed in the report

• Leases, other commitments, and contingencies• Pension and profit sharing information• Fair value and derivative information• Subsequent events• Emphasis paragraph explanation from the accountants’ report• Related parties disclosures
GAIN CONTROL berrydunn.com
GAIN CONTROLGAIN CONTROL
No Financial Statements?
• Look to other sources of information:– Tax Returns– Internally generated statements of profit and
loss and financial position
• Financial Statements using GAAP as the foundation rely on accrual accounting– Revenue recognized when earned– Expenses recognized when incurred– Matching principle is extensively used
throughout GAAP
GAIN CONTROL berrydunn.com
GAIN CONTROLGAIN CONTROL
Tax Returns
• Tax returns are different from GAAP financials– Typically, revenues are recognized when received (not
earned) and expenses are recognized when paid (not incurred)
– Accounting estimates (allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves) are not recognized
– Depreciation is based on statutory authority rather than estimated useful life
• The information has been presented to the IRS as true and accurate (if signed)
GAIN CONTROL berrydunn.com

Internal Financial Statements
• May or may not be GAAP• May or may not be comprehensive• May or may not be accurate
• If there are no tax returns and no GAAP financial statements, the degree of confidence in internal financial statements is determined by other factors
GAIN CONTROL berrydunn.com

• Looks like an income statement, but it isn’t
• Taxable income ≠ net income
