Firms now need to be agile in their decision-making. Financial statements play a very significant role in this process, as they provide key data for the firm\u2019s development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business executives need this financial information to be updated to make decisions about future operations. It allows them to clearly understand the situation of the company at a given time. This way, the financial health of the business can be defined to establish a future outlook. This type of document is not only important for large firms, but also for small and medium-sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/quadranslawandfinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/estados-financieros-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quadranslawandfinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/estados-financieros-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quadranslawandfinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/estados-financieros-1-768x395.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> What are the principal financial statements?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u25cf Balance sheet: This type of financial statement shows the state of the firm at a given time.
