A year end report, also called an annual report or end of year report, details an organization's activities throughout the preceding year. The report typically communicates overall company performance, financial information, and other key performance indicators (KPIs).

Current and prospective investors, employees, creditors, analysts, and any other interested party will analyze a company using its annual report.

The three main types of financial statements are the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement. These three statements together show the assets and liabilities of a business, its revenues, and costs, as well as its cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

Financial reporting allows finance teams and the business to track and analyze cash inflows and outflows to help identify current and future cash flow risks. This ensures the organization has sufficient cash flow to grow the business and take advantage of opportunities when they arise.
