What information do investors want that is not in financial statements?
That is, what useful information would investors need that is not in financial statements and why is it not there……. A: The general outlook of the specific industry…or the market as a whole. Specific to the individual Co;… Planned expansion projects, new products coming to market, competition entering or exiting the market, etc. None of these thing will be in financial statements of the Co…but are all very important…if you are a potential investor. They are not listed because financial statements are backward looking and these things are forward looking. Therefore they may or may not happen and can’t be on financial statements.. Hope this helped.
