Add Financial Statements and Projections for an Account
Financial statements, such as Balance Sheet, Income, Ratio, Cashflow, and UCA Cashflow are captured and evaluated to understand the financial position and health of a business or an individual and assess the risk of extending credit.
A financial projection is a forecast of future revenues and expenses. Typically, the projection accounts for internal or historical data and includes a prediction based on assumptions from a business plan and other external market factors.
