Bankers and other creditors – need to ensure that the business has the ability to repay loans, and on a timely basis
Government – need to ensure that the business pays the correct amount of taxes
Employees and Management– need to ensure that the business is doing well so that they will have a job
Customers – are interested in the business to determine if they will always be around to provide a constant flow of goods and services

Objective #5 - Describe the financial statements of a proprietorship and explain how they interrelate.
Accounting reports, called financial statements, provide summarized information to the owner.
The 4 common financial statements are prepared in the following order:
1. Income Statement
2. Statement of Owner’s Equity
3. Balance Sheet
4. Statement of Cash Flow

The income statement is a summary of the revenue and expenses for a specific
period of time, such as a month or a year.
