The work is divided into two crucial parts. The theoretical part is an introduction to the base that can be used for financial analysis treatment, with various types of financial analysis attitudes, with methods that can be applied, and, last but not least as well as with the users who could be interested in the results of anylysis carried out.
In practical part, the accounting data have been analysed via absolute indicators methods using the horizontal and vertical analysis. A substantial part are the results
of aliquot indicators of rentability, activity, liquidity and indebtedness, including
its interpretation. A calculation of a bankruptcy model is a part of this work as well.
In the course of practical part, the chosen indicators are applied to a competitive firm
that is doing business in the same branch as DACHDECKER spol. s r.o., so that a branch comparison could be carried out and thus the information ability of the data could be more precise.
In the conclusion, attention is paid to evaluating the gained results, assessing
the possible causes of present condition and putting forward a recommendation in future.
Financial analysis was applied to accounting data in the period of 2011 to 2014.
A considerable takings decline in 2012 can be seen in the analysis carried out. This decline did not get deeper in the following years , which is a positive fact. However, the situation with the takings development was considerably reflected in the total results of the economic activities, and the firm´s ability to appraise the invested capital was radically limited. Moreover, in 2013 the firm suffered a loss. Because a comparison was done with a competitive firm, it can be stated that other firms of the same branch suffered
a considerable decline in 2013 as well. Should we view the firm DACHDECKER
spol. s r. o. from the point of ability to keep its liability then this firm can be considered
to be financially healthy and credible.
