The essence of index analysis – educational approach

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to characterise the tools of index analysis based on the literature of the subject. This quantitative method is important for determining the financial condition of an enterprise due to the possibility of carrying out a synthetic assessment of the financial efficiency of the audited entity. The wide application possibilities of index analysis are indicated by the fact that it covers the areas of liquidity, profitability, debt and efficiency, i.e. the so-called turnover, which directly contributes to a comprehensive assessment of the financial standing of the company. This is also confirmed by the vivisection of the literature, the results of which have clearly shown that index analysis makes it possible to identify phenomena indicating both the strengths and weaknesses of the economic unit under investigation. Moreover, it provides an opportunity to not only determine the financial condition, but also provides the basis for financial and investment decisions. It thus finds wide and practical application at different levels of management of the unit.
