Subject. This article examines the analytical capabilities of simplified accounting (financial) statements in the context of the Russian Accounting Standard (FSBU) 4/2023 – Accounting (Financial) Statements.
Objectives. The article aims to clarify the analytical capabilities of simplified accounting (financial) statements in light of changes in documents in the field of accounting regulation, and align the calculation of the analyzed indicators with the data from simplified reporting forms.
Methods. For the study, we used the methods of analysis, comparison, generalization, deduction, and content analysis of regulatory documents.
Results. The article highlights changes in simplified accounting (financial) statements as an information base for conducting an analysis of the financial condition, and also clarifies the analytical capabilities of simplified accounting (financial) statements regarding the analysis of the condition of assets and the sources of their formation, liquidity and solvency, financial stability, business activity, and financial results. The article also updates the calculation of the financial condition indicators of an economic entity based on simplified reporting forms in connection with the entry into force of the Russian Accounting Standard (FSBU) 4/2023 – Accounting (Financial) Statements.
Conclusions and Relevance. Simplified accounting (financial) statements have limited analytical capabilities because they contain a smaller set of indicators compared to traditional forms, which makes it impossible to conduct certain types of analysis. The conclusions and results of the study can contribute to the development of analysis methods based on simplified reporting forms and be useful to students, practicing professionals, and researchers.
