What are the limitations of ratio analysis


  • Limitations of the analytical process need to be considered when interpreting and relying on the ratios to form an opinion as to a firm’s financial health, both past and present
  • Limitations relate to the nature of the financial statements and the data disclosed (or not disclosed), while others are inherent in the nature of the financial ratios themselves
  • Ratio analysis is only one financial analysis tool
  • Comprehensive and effective financial analysis considers information beyond financial reported numbers
  • Non-financial considerations, such as environmental performance, are also taken into consideration by users when assessing an entity’s performance
