M2: Analyse the importance of accounting data and statistical information to
assess and predict business performance.
Accounting data and statistical information is important to assess and predict
business performance because you are able to see previous years data which can
be initially used to determine current performance regarding sales, costs and profits
as it tells you whether the business is expanding or not. It may have also changed its
marketing and pricing strategies and the business will want to know whether these
have been successful or not. The business could have innovated new products or
targeted a new market and the business would be interested to know if the sales
have improved following the steps taken. Previous years data regarding costs can be
very useful for businesses as they can monitor costs such as the cost of labour,
materials etc.. this can eventually help a business to increase their efficiency and
make good quality products for lower prices. The best way to compare the expense
is to compare current year data with the previous year's data as well as the initial
average year data. By using financial ratios and comparing them you can assess the
areas where business is underperforming and evaluate ways in which the changes
can influence positively for the business.
Account Data
Accounting data is used by your company and potential investors to determine
funding needs for the organisation. A business analyses revenue to determine how
much money would be available to fund upcoming projects. If there is a gap in
revenue, then you know that you need to seek out funding. Potential investors and
lenders look at your assets and liabilities to determine if a business is a safe
investment or not. Business performance is very delicate and is very important to
manage that a business has to consider when going about its day to day activities
as this is a good way for the business to know how they are progressing. By securely
logging all the data of the business performance into a database the business can
help get a good outline of its performance and how it has done in previous years.
Accounting data is the primary measuring tool in business. A business owner uses
accounting information to give a visual display of the financial performance of their
business. Accounting information is important to internal stakeholders, including
business owners, managers and employees, and external stakeholders such as
lender or even the general public. External users, such as financial institutions, use a
business's financial information to evaluate the ability to repay a loan. Potential
investors use accounting information to assess funding needs for the organisation.
Lenders look at assets and liabilities to determine whether the business is a safe
investment. Accounting information provides business owners with the relevant
information to keep the business financially sound. Businesses and organisations
analyse income to determine availability of funds for upcoming projects. Generally,
