What Is Financial Reporting?

Financial reporting converts accounting records into structured financial information such as the balance sheet, statement of profit and loss, cash-flow information, notes and supporting schedules, depending on the applicable framework and reporting requirement.

The reliability of a report depends on the completeness of the underlying books, reconciliations, accounting policies and supporting evidence. Financial reporting support is not the same as an independent statutory audit or audit opinion.

What Our Financial Reporting Services Cover

Financial Statement Preparation

Depending on the entity and reporting requirement, support may include:

  • Balance sheet
  • Statement of profit and loss
  • Cash-flow statement where applicable
  • Notes and schedules
  • Supporting ledgers
  • Accounting schedules
  • Trial-balance mapping

The exact statements and disclosures depend on the applicable accounting framework, entity type and reporting purpose. For year-end statements specifically, see annual financial statements.

Monthly Financial Reporting

A monthly reporting pack may include:

  • Revenue summary
  • Expense summary
  • Profit and loss
  • Balance sheet
  • Cash-flow information
  • Receivables
  • Payables
  • Key reconciliations
  • Management commentary where agreed

Monthly reporting is useful for management review but does not automatically constitute statutory financial statements.

Month-End Close & Reporting

A reporting cycle built on a month-end close may include:

  • Ledger review: review relevant ledgers and unusual balances.
  • Bank reconciliation: reconcile bank accounts and investigate material differences.
  • Receivable and payable review: review customer and supplier balances.
  • Inventory and other schedules: reconcile relevant inventory, fixed-asset, loan, advance and other supporting schedules.
  • Accruals and adjustments: record agreed month-end adjustments based on supporting information.
  • Trial balance review: review the adjusted trial balance and mapping.
  • Financial statements: prepare the agreed financial reports.
  • Management review: provide agreed reporting and exception observations.

Financial Reporting for Different Business Types

Reporting can be tailored for:

  • Private limited companies
  • LLPs
  • Partnerships
  • Proprietorships
  • Startups
  • E-commerce businesses
  • SaaS businesses
  • Professional services firms
  • Manufacturing businesses
  • Retailers
  • Multi-entity groups

The applicable reporting framework and statutory requirements can vary by entity and circumstances. Groups with several companies may also need multi-entity accounting.

Supporting Schedules

Financial reporting may require schedules for:

  • Fixed assets
  • Depreciation
  • Trade receivables
  • Trade payables
  • Loans and borrowings
  • Advances
  • Employee-related balances
  • Inventory
  • Investments
  • Related parties
  • Taxes
  • Provisions
  • Accrued expenses
  • Prepaid expenses

The schedules required depend on the reporting framework and reporting purpose.

Management Reporting vs Financial Statements

These are related but different outputs.

Management ReportingFinancial Statements
Designed for internal decision-makingPrepared under an applicable reporting framework
Can be customisedStructured around prescribed requirements where applicable
May use operational KPIsIncludes financial statement line items and disclosures
Can be produced monthlyMay be annual or interim depending on requirement
Focuses on management needsFocuses on formal financial reporting

Management reports should not be labelled as audited financial statements unless an independent audit has actually been performed. For decision-focused reports, see MIS reporting and management accounting.

Accounting Framework & Policy Considerations

Financial reporting should consider the applicable framework and accounting policies. Depending on the entity and circumstances, this may involve:

  • Applicable Accounting Standards
  • Ind AS
  • Companies Act requirements
  • LLP or partnership reporting requirements
  • Relevant regulatory requirements
  • Entity-specific accounting policies

The applicable framework should be determined before finalising the reporting format.

Cash-Flow Reporting

Where applicable, cash-flow reporting can help management understand:

  • Operating cash flows
  • Investing cash flows
  • Financing cash flows
  • Working-capital movements
  • Cash and bank movements

A cash-flow statement should be prepared using the applicable accounting framework and method.

Financial Reporting for Lenders & Investors

Businesses may need financial information for:

  • Bank or lender discussions
  • Internal investment decisions
  • Investor reporting
  • Board or management meetings
  • Business reviews
  • Due diligence

Reports should be based on supportable accounting records.

Financial reporting does not guarantee loan approval, fundraising, investment or valuation outcomes.

Year-End Financial Reporting

Year-end reporting, often alongside book finalization, may involve:

  • Final ledger review
  • Reconciliations
  • Adjusting entries
  • Fixed-asset schedules
  • Receivables/payables schedules
  • Inventory reconciliation
  • Tax-related balances
  • Financial statement preparation
  • Notes and supporting schedules

Statutory audit, tax audit and regulatory filings are separate services unless expressly included.

Common Financial Reporting Problems

Businesses may face:

  • Unreconciled bank accounts
  • Old receivable balances
  • Supplier balances not confirmed
  • Suspense accounts
  • Incorrect ledger classification
  • Missing accruals
  • Incomplete fixed-asset schedules
  • Inventory differences
  • Inter-company mismatches
  • Inconsistent accounting policies
  • Delayed month-end close
  • Financial statements prepared without supporting schedules

A reporting exercise should identify and resolve material issues within the agreed scope rather than simply formatting an unreconciled trial balance. Where the books need work first, see finance data cleanup and reconciliation.

Pricing

Pricing is scope-based / customised. It may depend on:

  • Entity complexity
  • Reporting frequency
  • Transaction volume
  • Number of bank accounts
  • Number of entities
  • Reporting framework
  • Historical cleanup requirements
  • Number of supporting schedules
  • Management reporting requirements

Only information necessary for the reporting engagement should be shared.

Financial reporting is quoted on scope rather than a fixed package fee, because the work depends on entity complexity, reporting frequency, transaction volume, number of bank accounts, number of entities, the reporting framework, historical cleanup requirements, number of supporting schedules and management reporting requirements.
