HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS:
This technique is also known as comparative analysis. It is conducted by setting
consecutive balance sheet, income statement or statement of cash flow side-by-side and
reviewing changes in individual categories on a year-to-year or multiyear basis. The
most important item revealed by comparative financial statement analysis is trend. A
comparison of statements over several years reveals direction, speed and extent of a
trend(s). The horizontal financial statements analysis is done by restating amount of
each item or group of items as a percentage. Such percentages are calculated by
selecting a base year and assign a weight of 100 to the amount of each item in the base
year statement. Thereafter, the amounts of similar items or groups of items in prior or
subsequent financial statements are expressed as a percentage of the base year amount.
The resulting figures are called index numbers or trend ratios.
