Solution Preview
Pro-forma financial statements are also prepared and used by corporate managers and investment banks to assess the operating prospects for their own businesses in the future and to assist in the valuation of potential takeover targets. They are useful tools to help identify a company's core value drivers and analyze changing trends within company operations.
Pro-forma earnings describe a financial statement which has hypothetical amounts, or estimates, built into the data to give a "picture" of a company's profits if certain nonrecurring items were excluded.
Influence of Organizational goals
Organizational goals can influence preparation and evaluation considerably.
