SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Reading financial reports often stops at headline ratios or surface-level summaries, missing accounting-policy nuances, cash-flow divergence, and earnings-quality risks. This Skill turns raw filings into a traceable financial narrative by checking accounting basis first, bridging the three statements, and only then interpreting ratios and red flags. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-statement consistency checks: Builds a net-income-to-CFO bridge and cross-checks Capex, debt, dividends, and equity changes against the balance sheet. - Earnings quality and red-flag diagnosis: Detects profit growth with weak operating cash flow, deteriorating DSO/DIO, unusual capitalization, one-off items, and related-party signals, each paired with plausible alternative explanations. - Normalized peer and multi-period comparison: Aligns currency, period, consolidation scope, and IFRS vs US GAAP differences before comparing ratios across companies or periods. - Use Case: Upload a company's 10-K and ask whether net income growth is supported by operating cash flow; the Skill returns a structured report covering scope and accounting basis, core findings, the three-statement bridge, relevant ratios, and red flags with follow-up items. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to interpret the attached annual report or 10-K, focusing on cash flow, leverage, and earnings quality, and request that red flags and items needing confirmation be listed separately.

Frequently Asked Questions about financial-statement-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a 10-K filing for earnings quality?▼

Start by reviewing the accounting policies and notes, then build a bridge from net income through non-cash items and working capital changes to operating cash flow. This Skill automates that sequence and flags divergence between reported profit and cash generation.

How to compare companies using IFRS vs US GAAP financial statements?▼

First normalize the comparison basis: currency, period length, consolidation scope, and accounting standard. Key differences include LIFO inventory, development cost capitalization, cash flow classification of interest and dividends, and impairment reversals, which must be adjusted or explicitly marked as non-comparable.

What financial statement red flags indicate earnings manipulation?▼

Common red flags include profit growth with persistently weak operating cash flow, rising DSO or DIO, unexplained gross margin jumps, unusual increases in capitalized costs or other assets, and large related-party transactions. Each flag should be treated as a risk signal with alternative explanations, not proof of fraud.

Can this Skill give stock buy or sell recommendations?▼

No. It explicitly excludes real-time price checks, short-term trading calls, and target prices. The output is a financial-statement interpretation with facts, inferences, and data gaps, not investment advice.

When should I use document extraction instead of financial statement analysis?▼

Use evidence-extraction tools when you only need page numbers, footnote locations, or citations from a filing. Use this Skill when the goal is interpreting financial health, bridging the three statements, or diagnosing red flags rather than locating text.
