• Are revenues higher or lower than the last period?
• Are expenses higher or lower than the last period?
• How did we do this month vs. last month? This quarter vs. last
quarter? This year vs. last year?
• How do our actual results compare to budget?
EXTERNAL BENCHMARKING:

Did we earn a reasonable profit commensurate
with the risk assumed?

Overview
Purpose: Explains movement of money in and
out of the organization’s cash accounts during
a particular time period. Provides explanation
for changing amounts in the organization’s
accounts.
Components: The “bridge” between the
Balance Sheet and Income Statement as it
contains elements of both. Must know both
beginning AND end of period Balance Sheet
amounts.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
• Net Income (Per Income Statement)

Statement of Cash Flow
Key Questions
SOLVENCY: Did we have positive cash flow from operating activities?
(If answer is “no,” indicator of big problems!)
CASH MANAGEMENT: How did we invest any excess cash? Did we
reinvest in the business? Purchase CD’s?
FINANCING:
• Did we have to borrow more money in order to finance operations or
invest in the business? Did the partners have to contribute more?
• Did we generate enough cash that we could repay some or all of our
bank debt? Is there sufficient cash for partner draws / distributions?
FORECASTING: Do we have sufficient cash on hand to cover normal
operating expenses for next few months?
“Where does our money come from and
where does it go?”
14
Key Ratio Analysis
“Not everything that counts can be counted; not
everything that can be counted really counts.”
Albert Einstein
“So now that we have all these numbers, what
are we going to do with them?” Dan Chenoweth
I earned $1 million in the stock market last
year. Is that a good return?
15
Results to Resources Ratio
RRR
RRR DEFINED: What Resources were spent to
achieve what Result?
• Resources: Time, space, equipment,
people, budget, training, etc.
• Result: Did activity improve our
profits?
RATIO = Numerator / Denominator
RRR = Results / Resources

Conclusion
“If you torture numbers long
enough, you can make them
confess to anything.”
Former NM Senator Pete Domenici in discussing the
Federal Government budgeting process
Don’t be a number torturer and don’t
let numbers torture you! Instead,
understand the critical elements in
Financial Statements and know how
to turn data into information!
