The Purpose of a
Financial Statement
The financial statement of a borrower furnishes
the basis for an unsecured loan. A banker must
have sufficient information regarding the assets
and liabilities of the loan applicant to enable him
to decide with some degree of accuracy the ability
of the borrower to repay and when and how re-
payment can be made.
Financial statements should be submitted at reg-
ular intervals because, like milestones or markers
along the road, they indicate the course over
which the borrower has come to reach his present
financial position.
Loans are passed on by a loaning committee so
facts regarding the loan applicant should be in
written form for the use of the committee and for
future reference. It is a distinct advantage to a
borrower to furnish important facts in writing to
help the banker evaluate his financial condition.
