"The Industry Watch Service" by Merlin Scott Associates.
Financial analysis of company performance requires the calculation of standard accounting ratios such as liquidity ratio, current ratio and profitability ratios. There are many ratios which can be legitimately used in the analysis of financial statements but the key thing you will need, is a suitable benchmark of the value of each financial ratio for similar companies. This is exactly what you are able to view, print or export from the Industry Watch Service.
Selection of suitable accounting ratiosTrend analysis graphs like the one above are a powerful tool for financial analysis. They highlight immediately the areas where a management team can focus energy to improve a firms' performance. Of course you can only do this if you have confidence in the validity of the industry averages being used as a benchmark. The Industry Watch Service contains the executive summary from own independent research of UK industry sectors. We have been providing these industry statistics since 1991. Uniquely we have not used SIC codes to compile our listings for the sectors since we feel these are not focused enough to provide meaningful results. Sometimes there is nothing better but check out the SIC of a few firms at Companies House and you will see how vague the classifications can be. Over 21,000 customers agree that the right company groupings provide the key financial ratios and have used the reports which underlie this service.
