This relates to the preparation of financial statements for decision makers – stockholders, suppliers, banks, government agencies, owners etc.

In financial accounting the main concerns taken up are the accounting equation (i.e. assets equal sum of liabilities and owners’ equity) and the financial statements. The financial statements are prepared based on the trial balance. This trial balance is again prepared using the double entry accounting system. The figures appearing in the trial balance are rearranged and a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet are prepared.

The format of all these accounts is to be determined in conformance with certain standards. The financial statements obtained will show the income and expenditure for the company and present a summary of the assets, liabilities and shareholders’ or owners’ equity in the company on the date of preparation of the accounts.

These two factors carry around 65% of the weight in most credit rankings. So if you have an chance, it is a good idea to pay down some of your existing debt before making a new loan application.

You can not do much to change your credit history, but it is always a smart idea to get a free copy of your credit report a few months before making a loan application. This will give you an opportunity to correct any mistakes or clear up any misunderstandings that might have occurred in your records. Getting your credit report ready ahead of time will improve your credit ranking and your chances for getting a loan.
