Income Statement Balance Sheet Statement of Cash Flows Introduction to Financial Statements Net income is defined as the excess of revenues over expenses. Financial statements begin with a three-line title comprised of the company name, the name of the statement, and the period covered by the report. The income statement lists revenues and expenses that were incurred over a period of time. Most companies prepare monthly income statements. In the long-run, revenues will generate positive cash inflows to the company and expenses will result in negative cash flows to the company. Just remember, revenues and expenses that appear on the income statement may not always produce cash flows in the current accounting period. Net income (or net loss) is simply the difference between revenues and expenses. When revenues exceed expenses, the result is net income. When expenses exceed revenues, the result is a net loss. Depicts the ways cash has changed during a designated period of time.
