This procedure results in a report and a set of graphs which can be used to identify areas requiring particular attention and highlight opportunities for management action. The administrative mode is password-protected. The individual evaluations are summarized on the main menu, as is the overall analysis. The analyses are colour-coded in green, yellow and red to indicate the severity of weaknesses in the condition of the business and the potential business failure risk due to those weaknesses.
Financial data is recorded from balance sheets and income statements for up to five years.
Analysis is performed on almost 60 different ratios, comparing them against industry norms and searching for significant changes in indicators. As mentioned in the introduction, these analyses can be used for a general purpose evaluation of an entity's business condition, or for specific purposes such as to support credit applications, to support client acceptance and retention decisions, to support risk assessments for an entity and to support an auditor's assessment of the validity of the going concern assumption.
