Transfer pricing all the balance sheet makes the cost accountant within happy, because every source and use of funds is considered. However, after considering the value and relevance of transfer pricing non-interest related balance sheet positions, in most cases, it is quite a useless exercise. Including non-interest related balance sheet items clouds analysis of units' manageable activities. Profitability measurements must be as transparent as possible, if they are to be accepted and used. Hiding capital assignments within the funds transfer-pricing mechanics is vacuous. Capital assignment and the consumption of fixed assets are considered outside of FTP, but still within an overall profitability measurement framework.

By the time you get to Moragas' level, you've developed a feel for a client's profit and loss statement and balance sheet, and by using ratio analysis or other metrics, you can probably spot if something's out of whack in a final check of work papers. [...] that sounds like a case of information overload - a sure-fire prescription for burnout Personally, I've ...

The going-concern status of a company has long been a major issue addressed by both accountants and lenders. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued a statement in 1981 (SAS 34) which deals with the auditor's considerations when a question arises about an entity's continued existence. In order to express an opinion about the continued existence of the company, the accountant must use judgment to decide whether the business will survive for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date.

Even as credit scoring has continued to grow in the commercial credit sector, nearly all credit professionals still face the often arduous task of financial analysis with their clients. Items must be organized and considered before a company decides to take a risk in selling to a client by extending credit. There are typically four documents used for a complete financial analysis: 1. balance sheet, 2. income statement, 3. statement of retained earnings, and 4. statement of cash flows. All four provide the reader with different information about a company's past, present and future operations.

Here are four steps that should be t...
