They help us scrutinize the current working and forecast the future earnings and performance through annual reports. Financial statements of any company are also important it’s mangers. Because the published financial statements help managers communicate with outside investors and other stakeholders. It provides a direct explanation of the firms operation based on financial grounds. 

There are multiple reports that fall under the financial reports of an organization. These different reports focus on different aspects of company’s performance. The most basic and important reports are balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and stock holder’s equity statement. Each of these four statements and reports are very important. But you can never overlook, the implications of cash flow. It is because it comes down to cash in the end so you need to clearly understand how to manage it .This is the reason why cash is considered the king.
