Map each trial balance account to a statement line (revenue, cost of sales, receivables, payables…). The template adds the mapped balances into the income statement and balance sheet and builds the cash flow from the two years.
The income statement (profit or loss for the year), the balance sheet (what the company owns and owes at year end) and the cash flow statement (where cash came from and went).
The indirect method starts from profit and adds the changes in receivables, inventory, payables, assets and debt between last year's and this year's balance sheet.
No — it is a first draft to see the numbers in one place. Statements for an IPO must be prepared under IFRS or local GAAP (e.g. PFRS, US GAAP) and audited, usually for three years.
