Limitations The accuracy of financial information largely depends on how accurately financial statements are prepared. if their preparation is wrong, the information obtained from their analysis will also be wrong, which may mislead the user in making decisions.

Some financials statements are prepared by using historical financial data therefore, the information derived from such statements may not be effective in corporate planning, if the previous situation does not prevail.

Here financial statement analysis provides only quantitative information about the company financial affairs. however it fails to provide qualitative information such as management labour relation, customer satisfaction & management’s skills and so on which are equally important for decision making.
