When applied to a set of financial statements, financial ratios highlight significant aspects of the financial position and operational results of a business requiring further investigation. They help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a business. In fact, ratio analysis helps to evaluate the past performance, the present condition, and the future prospects of a business.
