2、的具體比率取決于公司的戰(zhàn)略。例如，一個公司要強調關于客戶可能會密切監(jiān)察存貨周轉率。由于管理者必須向股東報告，并可能想從外部籌集資金來源，管理人員必須重視這樣的財務比率被使用于外部存貨來評估公司的投資潛力和信譽的。雖然財務報表分析是一個非常有用的工具，它有兩個限制。這兩個限制涉及到公司之間財務數(shù)據(jù)的可比性，以及比率以外的需要。一個公司與另一個公司的比較可以提供關于一個組織財務健康的有價值的線索。不幸的是，公司之間的某個時候的會計方法的差異使公司的財務數(shù)據(jù)難以比較。例如，如果一個公司的價值采用后進先出法，另一公司采用平均成本法，這樣直接比較財務數(shù)據(jù)能會產(chǎn)生誤導，如兩個公司之間的存貨估值和商品銷售成

3、本的比較。否則，分析師應該牢記做出任何明確的結論之前的數(shù)據(jù)缺乏可比性。然而，即使有了這個限制，與其他公司和行業(yè)平均水平比較主要比率時經(jīng)常建議作進一步的調查。一個沒有經(jīng)驗的分析師可能認為比率本身就足以作為對未來判斷的依據(jù)。沒有什么比這更遠離真理了。基于比率分析上的結論必須被視為暫時的。比率不應該被看作是一個結束，而是應作為出發(fā)點看，作為追求更深入的指標。他們可能提出問題，但他們很少回答自己提出的任何問題。除了比率，其他來源的數(shù)據(jù)應該被進行分析，以便使有關組織對未來做出判斷。分析師應該看這些，例如行業(yè)的發(fā)展趨勢，技術變化，消費者口味的變化，廣泛的經(jīng)濟因素的變化，以及公司本身的變化。一個關鍵管理職位
