Introduction:
A financial statement is the complete record of financial transactions that take place in a company at a particular period of time.

profit and loss statement.

stockholders’ equity of a company at a particular point of time. It reveals the financial health of a company. Thus, this statement is also called as theStatement of Financial Position .
